Soomaal Visual Arts Fellowship is an initiative by Soomaal House of Art in partnership with Augsburg University Art Galleries. The artists considered for these fellowships work in a variety of visual art media, including both traditional and new media. During the twelve-month fellowship year, each artist receives studio visits, access to technical assistance and a culminating gallery exhibition at Augsburg University.
The Augsburg Art Galleries (AAG) is comprised of three main on-campus art spaces: Gage Family Art Gallery, Christensen Center Art Gallery, and Gallery720. Found on both ends of the Minneapolis campus, these spaces are dedicated to cultivating creative ideas and intellectual growth through direct engagement with visual art. The mission of the AAG is to serve our community through supporting the innovation and experimentation of visual artists as they foster creativity, conversation, engagement, and critical thinking. This community includes the students, faculty, and staff of Augsburg as well as the regional, national, and international exhibiting artists, alumni, surrounding neighborhoods, and wider Twin Cities public.
