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.

SUMMARY:Reception - Betsy Midthun Exhibition at Pump House
DESCRIPTION:Pump House Regional Arts Center | 119 King St. | La Crosse\, WI\nwww.thepumphouse.org \nAn exhibition of pastel paintings featuring area landscapes by RAA member Betsy Midthun is on view through January 6 at Pump House Regional Arts Center\, La Crosse. A “meet the artist” reception will be held on Friday\, December 1\, from 5 to 7 pm. As an artist who has meandered through her artistic pursuits\, Betsy enjoys the challenge of starting a painting on a flat\, blank surface and through the addition of a meandering element\, moving the viewer into an interesting and tranquil two dimensional space. Using pastel as her medium\, her goal is to push colors in the landscape to a higher intensity while still capturing the appropriate range of values. Learn more.
