Thank you!
We had a great time at NOTSTOCK 2016, the tenth one. Thanks to all who
helped make it possible--volunteers, faculty, staff, students,
musicians, artists, sponsors, area schools and their students and
teachers, community members, and so many others. And a special thanks to Dan McCarthy, Neal Williams, and Danielle O'Malley Ceramics for hanging out with us for four days making art and teaching others. Also a shout out goes to Tennessee Jet, Vanity Plate, Guante, Joseph Michael Davis,
and the Interactive Theatre Troupe from the U of Missouri who showed up
and were awesome. Thanks CraftStock artists for participating, and thanks NDMOA for bring another great art exhibit. We
cannot forget the amazing folks at 62 Doors Gallery & Studios who host a great reception every year. We are so lucky and so grateful. Love to all.

Guante Opens NOTSTOCK 2016
WordStock kicks off NOTSTOCK with Guante, two-time National Poetry Slam champion, MC, activist, educator, and writer from Minneapolis. He has performed everywhere, from the United Nations to the Soundset Hip Hop Festival, to countless colleges, universities, clubs, theaters, and rallies across the US.. His work has appeared on Upworthy, MSNBC, Welcome to NightVale, Everyday Feminism, BBC Radio 6 Music, Button Poetry, and beyond.
Unapologetically social justice-minded, Guante strives to push boundaries in terms of both form and substance. He facilitates workshops and classes that use art as a jumping-off point for deeper conversations about identity, power, empathy, and agency. Guante also just completed his Master's studies at the University of Minnesota with a focus on the intersections of spoken word, critical pedagogy, and social justice education.
Guante will perform Sept. 21 at 7:00 p.m. in Aleshire Theatre. He will also conduct workshops with students on Sept. 22-23 and will host the Poetry Slam in the Beaver Dam on Sept. 23 at 1 p.m. MSU alumnus and fellow writer, performer, and educator, Joe Davis, will assist Guante and work with students at area high schools.
