Art in the Time of Covid Exhibition opening and Winona Unmasked film screening

How has art impacted or affected the Winona Community during Covid? What soothed our souls during this pandemic? And how has the Winona Arts Center emerged through all of this? Find out through The Winona Arts Center Art in the Time of Covid Exhibition, which will be held September 12 through November 10, 2021.

An opening reception for the exhibition will be held on Sunday, Sept. 12, from 3-6pm with a 6:30 pm showing of Mary Farrell’s film, Winona Unmasked: A Covid -19 Collection of Interviews.

This is an opportunity for community members to share how their experience during the pandemic was influenced or impacted by the arts and see the newly remodeled Arts Center which is now completely accessible due to the installation of the new lift. It’s also another opportunity to see local filmmaker Mary Farrell’s film, Winona Unmasked. The film is a collection of Winona community members who were affected by Covid personally or professionally. A Q&A will follow the 60-minute film.

In addition, the Arts Center will host an evening of Art in the Time of Covid performances on Saturday, Sept. 18, where community members will have the opportunity to take the stage and share their works of poetry, music or performance.

The “Art in the Time of Covid” exhibit and performance events are made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the MN States Arts Board thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts & Cultural Heritage fund.
