About

EXHIBITION: “LONG STORY SHORT”

The Anderson Center presents Long
Story Short, a group retrospective exhibition opening May 7 and
running through August 14, 2021. A free artist reception will take
place Saturday, July 24 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in conjunction
with the Anderson Center’s 25th Anniversary Celebration.
Refreshments will be provided.

Since being founded in 1995, the Anderson
Center has served as a research and development laboratory for arts and ideas,
supporting more than 800 national and international artists through residencies
and providing studio space to dozens of local artists. Long Story Short represents
a small selection of the thousands of works of literary, visual, and performing
art created since the organization’s inception. Books written or edited at the
Anderson Center are displayed alongside paintings, musical compositions,
sculptures, prints, and more.

While it’s impossible to quantify the impact
of twenty-five years of substantial support for the arts, Long Story
Short gives a sample of the artistic and scholarly works created
in Red Wing through the Anderson Center’s residency and studio space programs.
Join us as we celebrate the accomplishments of the Anderson Center and dozens
of the writers, composers, and artists who have added to our rich local history
for a quarter-century.

Handicapped accessible and free to the public,
the Main Gallery at the Anderson Center is open Wednesday through Saturday from
11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (beginning Feb. 10). This exhibit is made possible by
the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support
grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural
heritage fund.
