The Winona Arts Center is pleased to host local documentary filmmaker, Mary Farrell, where she will show four of her films: Latsch: The Man and His River, Raising Hell: The Restoration of the Masonic Theatre Scenic Drops, Winona Unmasked: A Covid-19 Collection of Interviews, and Healthy Lake Winona. There will be light refreshments and a Q&A with Mary following the films.

Latsch: The Man and His River tells the story of Winonan John Latsch, a successful wholesale grocer who donated over 18,000 acres of land for public use.

Raising Hell: The Restoration of the Masonic Theatre Scenic Drops features the restoration artist who was hired by the City Of Winona to restore 10 100 year-old hand painted scenic drops.

 Winona Unmasked: A Covid-19 Collection of Interviews features interviews with 16 people who shared their personal and professional stories about coping with the Covid-19 pandemic.

Healthy Lake Winona is a documentary about a group of Winona citizens who are working on improving the quality of Lake Winona which is on the MPCA’s list of impaired waters.

Mary will generously donate all proceeds from this event to the Winona Arts Center. Please note an earlier starting time of 6:30 pm.
