SUMMARY:Where There is Water
DESCRIPTION:Where There Is Water showcases paintings\, prints\, and drawings developed through repeated travel to Duluth\, Red Wing\, and Banning State Park near Sandstone. These locations — each shaped by different moments in Minnesota’s industrial history — are connected by rivers and lakes whose presence enabled movement\, industry\, and settlement while leaving lasting marks on the surrounding landscape. \nAcross seasons and multiple visits\, Hanlon observed\, photographed\, and created work on site. The resulting pieces reflect both the layered timelines of these places and her embodied experience of encountering them in the present moment. Familiar structures reappear throughout the exhibition: the historic lighthouse along the Lake Superior shipping canal\, boathouses along the Mississippi River in Red Wing\, and the remains of a Power House in a former sandstone quarry on the Kettle River. \nThe exhibition includes large- and medium-scale oil paintings on canvas and wood\, oil studies on Arches paper\, linocut and collagraph prints\, and a collection of colored pencil studies. Rather than document a single view\, the works speak together — holding multiple moments at once and mirroring the way places are understood through memory\, repetition\, and attentive noticing. As the pilot project for the Curatorial Incubator\, Hanlon’s exhibition also includes public programs intended to bring community members into dialogue with the work and with the landscapes that shape our region. \nEVENTS\nOpening Reception: Friday\, February 13\, 6:00 – 8:00 pm \nArtist Talk: Sunday\, March 1\, 2:00 – 3:00 pm \nClosing Reception: Saturday\, March 14\, 4:00 – 6:00 pm \nGALLERY HOURS\nThursday\, Friday\, and Sunday\, 11:00 am – 6:00 pm

SUMMARY:Mississippi Musings: The Impact of Warming Winters
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that Minnesota’s winters are warming faster than our summer months? Come learn about the impacts of warming winters on the Mississippi River and surrounding watershed. \nAt our kick-off event\, Jothsna Harris\, founder of Change Narrative\, will be both expert and storyteller at this month’s workshop. Jothsna Harris implements climate change programs that are rooted in community and centered on personal stories. \nArtist Kimberly Boustead will lead participants through a collaborative art project consisting of personalized squares depicting a healthy Mississippi River. Participants will learn simple stitches and applique to adorn their squares with botanical dyed stitching and wool elements. \nThis workshop is a collaborative effort between the MWMO; Minneapolis artist\, Kimberly Boustead; and Jothsna Harris\, founder of Change Narrative. \nThe event is free\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Presentation on the Future of the Mississippi River Gorge
DESCRIPTION:“From Rapids to Reservoirs & Back Again?’ — a presentation by John O. Anfinson\, PhD \nFor the first time since the Twin Cities’ founding\, we have an opportunity to redefine the Mississippi River in the heart of the Twin Cities. In 2014\, Congress directed the U.S Army Corps of Engineers to permanently close the Upper St. Anthony Falls Lock. This ended commercial barge traffic there and at the next two locks and dams downstream: the Lower St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam and Lock and Dam No. 1. Now the Corps wants to leave all three. \nThe Upper St. Anthony Falls Dam will remain\, as Xcel Energy owns most of it\, and removing it would destroy St. Anthony Falls. But we have a choice whether the other two locks and dams remain or come out. We face a choice between two very different worlds\, both different from the world we have known for over 100 years. John will talk about the choice before us and how we can make the best decision\, a 21st century decision. \nSpeaker bio: John O. Anfinson has been researching\, writing\, and speaking about the Mississippi River for over 40 years. He spent the first half of his 40-year federal career with the St. Paul District\, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers\, as District Historian\, Tribal Coordinator\, and Cultural Resources Program Manager. He joined the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area\, a unit of the National Park Service\, in 2000 and retired as Superintendent in 2021. John is the author of The River We Have Wrought and River of History and many articles about the Mississippi River. He holds a Ph.D. in U.S. History from UMN. \nPresented by Highland District Council\, National Parks Conservation Association and St. Paul Parks Conservancy
