The event was ran very well. Snacks and refreshments before were a nice touch. The art was really good and the artists were approachable and answered all of my questions.

Absolutely honored to be a judge for Everyone Is a Critic! This event was a powerful reminder of the incredible talent within our creative community. Each artist brought a unique perspective, pushing boundaries and sparking conversations through their work. What stood out most was the stories behind them—the thought, passion, and process that shaped each painting.

As an artist participating in "Everyone's a Critic," the environment and energy created by Kasey and his team were magnetic and beautiful throughout the entire evening. Although this was a competition, the host, Ramsey, did an amazing job of making the event feel inclusive and special for everyone on the artists' panel. The judges were very thorough and thoughtful with their critiques. I can't wait to see what events Studio 42 has planned for the future. I was so grateful to take part in this memorable and unique event.

This was a unique experience, I’m glad I got to be a part of it. To be amongst people as they see the art displayed in real time was great. Having the firsthand opportunity to get feedback of people’s initial thoughts was invaluable.

A Kings Ransom. The event was amazing with many artists throughout the Minneapolis Metro area all displaying their fantastic art. Being in a surrounding full of love and amazing people that participated in putting this show together did such a phenomenal job journeying the final project together.

Last year’s art show was such a charming and well-curated event! Set in an intimate downtown space, the show featured a wide variety of artists and works, creating an engaging and eclectic atmosphere. One of the highlights was the rooftop 360 Photo Booth, which added a fun, interactive element to the night. The snack options were solid, keeping everyone fueled while they explored the exhibits. Live performances by SVÅŇØĖ and Kinfu (if I’m remembering correctly) elevated the experience, making the evening feel even more immersive. Overall, it was a beautifully put-together event that balanced creativity, community, and a great vibe!

Proud of all the work the curators put into the experience I know it was a lot of work. Thank you!!!

Art events are always amazing, Kasey makes sure there’s an intimate vibe and the environment is always a family vibe… as for Art? I got two pieces hanging in my house as we speak lol

I was an artist a the 'Worth a King's Ransom' show in 2022. I was excited to be asked to show my work and help raise money for V3 Sports. The S42 team does a great job of bringing multiple communities together, showing off local artwork, spotlighting local visual/performing artists, and bringing learning opportunities to the folks in attendance. To my surprise, I sold almost all my pieces and had an opportunity to visit and chat with other artists and the people who purchased my work. I loved sharing my expertise and artistic expression with the community.

This event was amazing! I love the layout and setup of the art display. The refreshments were good and the various dynamics of the event kept things engaging throughout the night.

My wife and I attended both the Silent Auction (where we won this breathtaking painting!) and we also attended the Live Art Critique.

Both events highlighted an extreme level of detail and thoughtfulness from Kasey the organizer. Both events were completely different and yet Kasey was able to utilize and maximize whatever space and amenities each Venue had to offer.

We had a phenomenal time and we are excited to see Kasey’s creativity and excellence on display in whatever event he decides to plan next!

I've attended multiple art events through the years hosted by S42. Each event has been intentional and showcased incredible talent. Every event has proven to be a great way to network and connect with people in the community who share similar interests. I walk away from every event with exposure to new and interesting artists, connections to the community, and inspiration.

A welcoming environment with lots of creative and fun art collections! The host was amazing as was the music and spoken word/poetry. My children and I had a great time at Studio 42!

Nate

Event was great! Loved the music, was an awesome opportunity for me and showcased so many talented artists!

Tay

Absolutely an amazing event! I got to both see and meet a bunch of local artists, some established and some not. That truly made it a special experience! It brought me into what I feel is Minnesota underground art culture. So shout out the artists and everyone who just made the event fun, open, and enjoyable! A+ from staff to creators!
