Winona County History Center | 160 Johnson St.

Watershed, the new, juried visual arts exhibition sponsored by River Arts Alliance, will open at the Winona County History Center on Friday, August 23 with a reception from 4:00-6:00 pm. The event is free and open to the public and light refreshments will be provided. The exhibition was open for entries of 2D and 3D visual artworks by artists living within 150 miles of Winona. From the 265 juried submissions, 26 pieces by Minnesota and Wisconsin artists have been selected for inclusion by juror Nicole Soukup, Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Winners of first, second, and third prizes and honorable mention(s) will be announced at the reception. The exhibition can be seen daily from August 23 through November 17 in the History Center’s Slaggie Family Lobby Art Gallery from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts & cultural heritage fund.
