Spillway Stories Open Gallery Hours

Join us with our friends at Engage Winona to explore the work of Spillway Stories, enjoy light refreshments, and connect with fellow community members.

Attendees will have the chance to engage with powerful photos, art, and narratives that reflect the experiences, challenges, and community efforts of those around them. These gallery hours provide a welcoming space to connect, reflect, and immerse yourself in the stories that shape our community. Copies of the Spillway Stories magazine will be available for free.

The drop-in galley hours are planned for November 6 and December 4, both first Wednesdays, from 3:00-6:00pm Central. No RSVP is necessary, and all ages are welcome. Light refreshments will be provided.

Art of the Rural is grateful to collaborate with the Honoring Dakota Project, Winona County Historical Society, Engage Winona, and The Cedar Tree Project in the Spillway initiative in Winona, Minnesota, a town located along the Mississippi River in Dakota homelands.

Through support for artists, culture bearers, artisans, and storytellers –alongside the local organizations that support them – Spillway works to create conditions for engaged projects that honor diverse lived experience, deepen regional relationships, and build rural-urban networks of knowledge-sharing and exchange that will create opportunities for artists, culture bearers, and artisans to thrive and connect with new colleagues and audiences.
