Another Earcie: Lesser Known Photographs.

Received this email today from Liberator illustrator Melodee Strong:

Greetings friends! I was just made aware [that] a fellow artist in [the] North Side Minneapolis community has suffered a stroke this past December and unfortunately has to close his studio at Homewood Studios and move into a rehab home. Earcie Allen is a photographer. He was in the middle of a project documenting the Women of the North Side and was going to have a show at the Homewood Studios Gallery next month. That has changed. Some of Earcie's closest friends have found a collection of his less known photographs and decided to show this work in place of the North Side Project.

I have only been able to speak to Earcie a few times when I was at the studios in the past but during those moments he made an impression on me. He is such a beautiful and talented person. I hope that some of you will be able to come out to his show and support his recovery. I am sure that most of you working as artists or doing the things you love could understand how hard it would be for your soul to not be able to do those things any longer. As some of you know, last year my mother also suffered a stroke. Although her recovery has been remarkable, most cases can be very devastating. It has been hard to watch my mom get back to her old self as I am sure it will be just as hard for Earcie's family and friends.

The show is titled- Another Earcie: Lesser Known Photographs by Earcie Allan. The show runs from 2/1-2/27, the opening reception is 2/15 from 6-9 pm. Hope to see you there!
