Micah Bloom. Multifarious.

Currently on Display 

According to the artist, “This collection of images represents my eclectic creative production throughout the past 15 -20 years. It includes works from various projects and series and loosely functions as a retrospective of my artistic output while living in North Dakota (2011 present). Multifarious includes works that were shown at the North Dakota Museum of Art as part of the Artist Makers Series (Codex, 2015), as well as works created during my McCanna House Artist-in-Residence Program (interventions, McCanna Collaborations.) Additionally, there are representations from my Radiosity series (sculptural works playing with reflected light and color) and my Bloomkin series (family collaborations that toured North Dakota galleries in 2024 – 2025). Lastly, a painting (laNDscape) created for the North Dakota Museum of Art’s upcoming Autumn Art Auction is featured in appreciation of my ongoing relationship with this critical arts institution.”
