Seated together in a circle\, participants will hear directly from the artist about his creative process\, his storytelling through image\, and the evolution of his multimedia practice\, including illustration. This program is also included with gallery admission and open to all. \n“We are excited to welcome visitors for this immersive weekend that highlights the intersection of visual art\, literature\, and storytelling\,” said Heather Casper\, Curator of Engagement\, Learning and Impact at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. “The Once Upon a Shore Weekend offers a unique opportunity to connect with artists and authors in meaningful ways\, from f ireside discussions to film screenings and gallery talks.” \nThe Once Upon a Shore exhibition project is presented by the Minnesota Marine Art Museum. MMAM gratefully acknowledges support from our members\, Friends of MMAM\, our docents and volunteers\, and sponsorship support from Wisconsin Public Radio. \nAbout MMAM:  The Minnesota Marine Art Museum is a nonprofit art museum that creates meaningful art experiences that explore our relationship with water. Located in Winona\, Minnesota at 800 Riverview Drive\, the purpose-built museum is located on the banks of the Mississippi River and boasts six galleries\, an educational and events space\, and a destination retail shop on its seven-acre riverside campus. It is through this surprising diversity that MMAM is not only describing what marine art is\, but pushing the boundaries of what marine art can be. MMAM’s literary arts exhibition program features some of today’s most inspiring and thought-provoking book projects\, authors and illustrators that intersect with water and waterways.
