Welcome Framer's to our April newsletter! We hope you are enjoying the sunshine and warmer longer days we have been waiting patiently to return!

2022 is starting to seem like the year to get back out there and start to enjoy things as a community again and with that in mind we have a local event for a great cause to share with you. Follow our links for animal fundraisers, fantastic garden inspiration, as well as our galley show that has extended through April....Happy Spring!!!
We have an extreme love of animals here at Frame of Mind. We also love to support local businesses and are proud sponsor of the Humane Society Annual Fundraiser, The Ken Shugart Annual Award Ceremony.

This award ceremony holds a dear spot to the Frame of Mind team, not only because of our love for animals, but because of Ken Shugart himself. The owner of our store, Amy Doty, grew up knowing Ken Shugart as a personal family friend. Her dad, Patrick Doty, and Ken Shugart were great friends and even played on the same softball team when Amy was younger. Patrick remembers Ken fondly and always thinks of Ken as someone who loved animals, and worked effortlessly to ensure the well being of those animals in need in our community.
The Ken Shughart Annual Award is back for 2022!
We have been missing this event the last two years, and can't wait to enjoy this in person this year.
We hope you will join us in attending this fabulous event.

This Wisconsin shelter found a great way to put the FUN back into fundraising. Read this feel good article about how your donation to this shelter buys you a "bad" original portrait of your animal but helps support shelter animals.

Enchanting Gardens....
Garden season is right around the corner! Some of you who reside here in the "Garden City" may even have seeds planted and just awaiting their initial pop out of the soil. As we get ready to plunge our hands in the dirt and get ready to grow grow grow... we thought we'd give you some inspiration as you prepare those beautiful gardens.

Check out these 8 artists who designed their gardens and inspired their own art! Click here!
🎥 🎶 🖼 For the love of music and art!!
Where the Wild Roses Grow (1996)
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds ft. Kylie Minogue
Not a literal appearance but rather an atmospheric recreation. For their murder-ballad duet, Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue were inspired by that Pre-Raphaelite masterpiece, Millais’ Ophelia.

This stunning music video directed by Rocky Schenck. The imagery is based on the mid-19th century painting, “Ophelia” by Sir John Everett Millais, completed between 1851 and 1852. The painting depicts Hamlet‘s Ophelia singing in a river as she dies, and currently resides in the Tate Britain:
Ophelia depicts Ophelia, a character from William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, singing before she drowns in a river in Denmark.

The work encountered a mixed response when first exhibited at the Royal Academy, but has since come to be admired as one of the most important works of the mid-nineteenth century for its beauty, its accurate depiction of a natural landscape, and its influence on artists from John William Waterhouse and Salvador Dalí to Peter Blake and Ed Ruscha.
