SUMMARY:Opening Reception - “Conversations: The Collaboration of an Artist and an Artificial Intelligence” by Morro Schreiber – Exhibit at WAC

Schreiber is a lifelong artist and wordsmith who overcame a visceral knee-jerk hatred of the very idea of art created with artificial intelligence within minutes of actually using AI to create some art of her own. She’s been in daily conversation with midJourney AI since the release of v3 over a year ago\, and has generated over 45\,000 images (of disparate interest and quality)\, now working with v5.2 and the recently released v6. Schreiber has lived in Winona with her family for the past 18 years; this is her first solo exhibition. Learn more.

SUMMARY:Merle Hanson to Present at the Blue Heron
DESCRIPTION:Blue Heron Coffeehouse | 162 W 2nd St. \nOn Tuesday\, January 2\, Merle Hanson\, Winona’s Favorite Storyteller\, will present some of his stories at the Blue Heron Coffeehouse as part of the Laureate Writers Series.

This series is sponsored by the Blue Heron Coffeehouse\, Shipwreckt Books\, Chapter 2 Bookstore\, and Friends of the Winona Public Library. \nMerle Hanson grew up in Winona and graduated from Winona Senior High School. After living in St. Paul and Caledonia\, he wound up back in Winona where he has been for the last 15 years. Hanson’s first book\, Portraits\, was published in 2015 (Book Shelf Editions)\, followed by Ageless Winona in 2021 and Tales From the River Bottoms in 2022\, both with Wagonbridge Publishing. Hanson’s voice is unique—he has taken his long-standing affliction with schizophrenia\, involving the hearing of voices\, to present a rich history of Winona through the voices of our dead citizens—it is a rollicking dialogue between these entities and the persona of the writer himself\, warts and all. This is a voice full of compassion\, wisdom\, and wit. Learn more.
