What artists have to say
Hear Vigee Blue discuss her work "the Tolls of Violence" & AeI wonder which is the most rare, truly unique artwork or a place to see truly unique artwork. both must be worked towards. As an artist I feel better knowing that the diversity of human spirit has a place to be resonant, such is my experience in the presence of what "Altered Esthetics" offers us all to be a part of. Thanks to everyone involved at Altered Esthetics for the good work done, for us all...

Jamie is a really fantastic gallery director, and always a pleasure to work with. I'm always impressed with the care with which my art has been handled and safely returned, which I can't say about every gallery I've worked with.

I tell all my artist friends to submit. I have nothing but praise for Jamie and AE.

AE is a very supportive and valuable part of the MPLS arts scene!

Jamie Schumacher is a director to watch. Her shows are well put together and stimulating. She knows how to handle her artists and has an innate sense of chosing art to convey the message of her shows. I have no doubt Altered Esthetics is a gallery that will become a major force in the arts community with Ms. Schumacher at the helm.

A terrific gallery for artists trying to get their name out there!

As a newer showing artist, I have found my first experiences in the art world (specifically with AE) to be most enjoyable. Jamie has been extremely helpful and patient with any questions I have had. Also, I have been encouraged and inspired by AE's show theme choices.

It is a necessity for MPLS. A great place to experience art!

AE is one fo the few galleries that focuses on people and passions rather than profits. It's the least snooty and most socially conscious gallery in town. I've always felt welcome and appreciated as an artist. Thanks, Jamie & Staff, for a gallery with heART

I believe it’s a wonderful experience for any artist beginning, starting their career.

Nothing can be more meaningful than helping others through our art. Many thanks to Altered Esthetics for the honor to show my work.

AE is a truly-existing, honest gallery. Responsible and respectful venue for artists. Not an entry-fee collector that you never hear back from after you drop in your slides, or worse, your artworks. Few galleries create this wonderful experience of connecting artists to good causes.

My experience with Altered Esthetics was a very positive one. Thanks for the opportunities and support!

AE is an artists' art experience.

Altered Esthetics is THE place to be a part of in Minneapolis. There's no ego, hubris, or attitude. All are welcome and equal, and AE is about the only gallery I can think of that feels that way and lives it.

I believe exhibiting your work is very important. it take guts because you are so vulnerable when you put your self out there. if you share your work you will find an amazing support and same thinker and feelers as you. just show it!
