Minnesota Marine Art Museum Presents 'Water | Craft' Exhibition Through December 27

Seven artists explore water access and cultural preservation through craft traditions at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum in Winona. Tali Weinberg's 'Climate Datascapes' series visualizes silt data from the Upper Mississippi River using woven fiber and plant-derived dyes. Nicole McLaughlin creates fringed ceramic platters referencing Pre-Columbian cultures. Rowland Ricketts' installation 'Bow' features indigo-dyed linen strands suspended to evoke water currents. Sarah Sense contributes woven paper collages, while Therman Statom presents mixed-media glass works. Tanya Aguiñiga's knotted wall pieces incorporate terracotta forms, and Kelly Church completes the roster. The museum emphasizes that these traditional methods evolve in response to environmental change. Located on the Mississippi River banks, the exhibition runs until December 27, 2026.
