Frozen River Film Festival Managing Director Eileen Moeller will lead an artsXchange conversation on Saturday, January 21, about the nature of creative work and how we share our stories through a variety of mediums. What is creative work? Who is allowed to do it? What are the differences between capital “A” Art and creative work? In this artsXchange, Eileen will invite us to think about who is an artist and who has a story to tell. Participants will explore the museum’s collections and current exhibitions, with special attention to Water Stories: New Work by Anne Labovitz before it leaves the museum on January 22nd.
Originally from the Chicago area, Eileen came to Winona in 2005 to attend Winona State University. After graduating with a degree in theatre and history in 2010, she returned to the Chicago suburbs but was ultimately pulled back to Winona in 2016. Drawn to any opportunity to organize arts events, uplift artists, and collaborate with other motivated community members, Eileen has been working in arts administration for a decade. She is a passionate gardener and knitter.
The event is free for members of MMAM or RAA and is free with general museum admission for all others. Registration is highly recommended, and space is limited to 25 attendees per program. Visit this link to register.
About artsXchange:
The Minnesota Marine Art Museum and River Arts Alliance are coming together to bring you a new, monthly informal artist exchange – a chance for artists and creatives from across a variety of mediums to gather for inspiration, exploration and exchange at the museum. Each month, a member from River Arts Alliance, a nonprofit that supports and celebrates regional arts and culture, hosts a 90-minute meet-up and conversation with an artist, maker, designer, writer, or another creative person.
A list of previous artsXchange events is available here. If you are an RAA member interested in hosting a future artsXchange, please contact Arts Administrator Johanna Rupprecht at admin@riverartsalliance.org.
