The Winona Arts Center is pleased to host the exhibit Audacity, featuring the works of artist Nancy XiáoRong Valentine, from 12/3/23 through 1/14/24 with an opening reception on December 3, 2023 from 1 pm to 4 pm. Nancy XiáoRong Valentine (she/her) is a Chinese American artist living and making a life in rural Otter Tail County, Minnesota. Valentine views her artistry as a channel to deepen her cultural connections to and between her Chinese heritage and Midwestern roots. Her creative process begins and ends with intention, resulting in conceptually complex visual stories woven with nuance and symbolism. Her expressive stylized brushwork is inspired by Chinese calligraphy and, when paired with Valentine’s performative prose, is meant to evoke empathy. Learn more.
