SUMMARY:Frozen River Film Festival: Four Souls of Coyote
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 26\, 2025 | 7:00 – 9:00 PM (doors open at 6:30 PM)\nWinona Arts Center\, 228 E 5th St\, Winona\, MN 55987 \nFrozen River Film Festival invites the community to a screening of the film Four Souls of Coyote\, a breathtaking animated feature by acclaimed Hungarian director Áron Gauder. The event will take place on Friday\, September 26\, 2025\, at 7:00 PM (doors open at 6:30 PM) at the Winona Arts Center\, 228 E 5th St\, Winona\, MN. \nFour Souls of Coyote is a powerful tribute to a humiliated and destroyed nation.  “As Long as the Grass Grows” is an alternative\, ancient and humble creation story\, where man is not the crown of the creation\, but the weakest of all creatures. The film takes us back to the beginning of time\, where Old Man begins to create the world out of a handful of mud. Everything he creates is new and nameless\, and affects the rest of the world. Even feelings and desires are unknown and when they emerge\, the world becomes more and more complicated. \nBlending myth\, art\, and social commentary\, this 103-minute feature invites viewers to reflect on humanity’s place within nature and the interconnectedness of all living things. \nFor more information\, visit frff.org or contact the Illy Diaz\, the Managing Director\, at director@frff.org \nFrozen River Film Festival is an organizational member of the River Arts Alliance.

SUMMARY:Rachael Kilgour at Winona Arts Center
DESCRIPTION:Come join us at the Winona Arts Center (228 E 5th St) for a special performance by celebrated Minnesota singer-songwriter Rachael Kilgour on Sunday\, September 7 for an afternoon concert at 2:00.  Rachael presents her heartfelt release\, My Father Loved Me\, as part of a one-woman storytelling performance. In the spare\, often gutting language for which she is known\, Kilgour poses questions about belonging\, inheritance\, grief and triumphantly affirms the value of one ordinary working man’s life. \nListeners can expect to laugh\, weep\, and reflect on their own relationships with fatherhood\, mortality and grief. \nKilgour is a 2025 Mcknight Music Fellow\, a winner of the NewSong Music Competition (2015) and Kerrville New Folk Contest (2017)\, and has been featured at NYC’s Lincoln Center and The Kennedy C \nenter in Washington DC. Her oft-noted “unapologetic lyrics” (Rolling Stone) and “master crafted indie folk” sensibilities (Billboard) are on full display in this latest collection of delicately woven songs. \nThis project and performance is supported by the Minnesota State Arts Board. \nTickets are available on Eventbrite or at Music Mart for $10./adv or $15/door.  Music Mart accepts cash\, checks\, and credit cards with no fees.
