DESCRIPTION:Blue Heron Coffeehouse | 162 W 2nd St.\nblueheroncoffeehouse.com \nThe next art show at the Blue Heron Coffeehouse will feature paintings by Wisconsin artist Jean Lukens. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, October 4\, from 6-8 pm\, with light refreshments provided. Jean says\, “I am a contemporary watercolor artist.

SUMMARY:Figure Drawing Exhibit Opening
DESCRIPTION:Winona Arts Center | 228 E 5th St.\nwinonaarts.org \nThe Winona Arts Center is happy to host our Figure Drawing Circle Exhibit Opening on Sunday\, September 15 from 1:00-4:00. The figure drawing group meets weekly at the Arts Center and we are excited to display their work. The exhibit runs from September 15 through October 27. \nThroughout the ages\, the center of art has been the human form. Our brains are hardwired to seek out connections with our fellow humans — two dots and a curved line become a smiling face\, we can see people in the shapes of clouds and shadows. Whether crude stick figures\, near photographic renderings\, chiseled sculptures\, or artistic abstractions\, the human body has been a continual source of artistic inspiration. The tradition continues and Figure Drawing carries on that sense of artistic wonder. Learn more.
