On Display in the Gallery

• The Art Circle
  Beginning Sunday, January 10 and through Sunday, February 7
  A multi-media fine art exhibit with work by nine Minnesota artists, all members of WARM, the Women’s Art Registry of Minnesota. During this time period you can also enjoy Working Systems, pieces that reflect St. Croix Valley artists’ response to a six-session seminar held this year at The Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson, where the topic of conversation was the role of the arts in sustainability. These pieces are their responses to the question “What are sustainable artmaking practices?” These workshops and exhibits were presented by What We Need Is Here, a project for supporting sustainable communities that involves many non-profit groups in the St. Croix Valley, including the River Falls Public Library.  For more information go to the What we need is here link.
