November News
Happy November! As the cool of winter rolls in here in Minnesota, I feel compelled to express my gratitude for you receiving my newsletter. I’m thrilled to announce two significant solo exhibitions and several new initiatives this month.
Convergence: Health & Creativity – New Work by Anne Labovitz
Plains Art Museum, Fargo, ND
November 16 – July 13, 2025
Opening Saturday, November 16, 6-9 PM, Free
Artist remarks at 7 PM
Inspired by a holistic approach to human experience, this exhibition showcases all-new work based on interactions and interviews with people from the Fargo-Moorhead area. Inspired by interviews with community groups and healthcare professionals, I have created twelve large site-specific artworks. These include sculptures, illuminated works, drawings, and a public co-making space.
In addition, I will unveil a monumental public artwork, created for the Plains Art Museum’s atrium space. It would be an honor if you could join me for the opening event on November 16th and share this exciting moment with me!

Art and Health: New Work by Anne Labovitz
Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts, Lubbock, TX
November 1, 2024 – February 1, 2025
Art and Health builds on my previous and current exploration of the interconnection between art and health, and how one can impact the other. Art and Health includes video, paintings, and brand-new floor sculptures titled the Soft Works Series. The artworks examine and experiment with light, color, and the concepts underpinning the connection of art to well-being.
North Shore Blue
Holiday Center, Duluth, MN
North Shore Blue is a body of work with four new components. These works are interactive and multi-faceted, created exclusively for the Holiday Center. The installation has received considerable media attention, with features in: WDIO, FOX21, Duluth News Tribune, 103.3, WCCO

LightWindows – Six Commissioned Public Artworks
City of Rochester, MN
The City of Rochester commissioned an installation of selections from my work, Will to Meaning, over a downtown city block. These six 5 x 12-foot works are an extension of my LightWindows created with Tyvek under plexiglass and LED lights. Will to Meaning was originally commissioned by the Rochester Art Center and has taken on a new life in this public space. I am grateful to the City of Rochester and the Rochester Art Center for the opportunity, and all the amazing helpers who made the installation happen!
