Many of Minnesota’s finest watercolorists exhibit their work in this competitive exhibition, juried by Dan Marshall. This spring’s show celebrates watercolorists’ efforts to stretch the limits of their medium: “From delicate washes that dissolve into the atmosphere to bold, saturated strokes that command the page, we want to highlight watermedia’s ability to shift effortlessly between control and spontaneity.” Exhibit opens Saturday, April 11, with a juror talk and awards presentation. Viewable through May 15.

All exhibited work is for sale.

Art Wall Corridor

Following his successful commercial design practice, Don Biehn dedicated himself to painting full time until his death in June 2022. He embraced plein air painting, immersing himself in his subjects’ colors, textures, and light. He lived most of his life near rivers, lakes and marshlands, capturing their allure in his art. A gifted natural artist, his legacy is a significant library of plein air oil paintings, watercolors, and figure drawings, providing unique perspectives on places and people across his upper-Midwestern home and highlighting his travels across the U.S. and the world.
All exhibited paintings will be available for purchase!
