Join us as we tour some of Winona’s hidden gems!
We will start our adventure at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum, located right off the Mississippi River. This beautiful building showcases many famous artists including Picasso, Marie Cassat, and Degas. We will enjoy a guided tour by museum staff and have time to wander a bit on our own afterwards and shop in the gift store.
Featured artists on this day:
Karen Savage-Blue is an Anishinaabe artist and art educator living and working in Duluth, MN. Her work can be dreamlike and surreal, and she depicts nature in its raw form, creating a platform where thoughts and emotions overcome the tendency to decipher meaning.
St. Paul artist, Anne Labovitz, creates colorful and powerful large-scale works and installations to invite and engage viewers as part of her artistic and social justice processes. Her recent work explores her childhood experience growing up on the shore of Lake Superior and her current home and community along the Mississippi River.
Next Stop: Lunch at the River City Grill. Lunch will be the responsibility of the individual.
On to:
Treasures Under Sugar Loaf is a mall with antiques, collectibles, crafts, and home decor. It’s located in the historical Bub’s Brewery building, nestled under Sugar Loaf bluff in Winona, Minnesota.
It features over 60 knowledgeable antiques and collectibles dealers who supply a wide variety of unique treasures that are spread all throughout our three-story building. They also feature dealers who specialize in home decor and crafts, and with new items arriving daily, you will always find something different at Treasures Under Sugar Loaf! .
We will finish the day at:
A 30-45 minute guided tour of The Watkins Museum & Store, which offers visitors a view into the Company’s 150+ year history with displays of old products, advertising, photographs and other memorabilia.
