Lanesboro Arts is proud to present the 30th Gallery Anniversary Reception, happening on Saturday, July 15th from 5:00 – 7:00 pm at the Lanesboro Arts Gallery. This event, celebrating the 30th Anniversary Group Exhibition “Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.” will feature special guests, historical storytelling, heavy hors d’oeuvres, and live music!

This year marks 30 years for the Lanesboro art gallery — now a part of Lanesboro Arts. Over the last three decades, hundreds of artists have shown their work in solo and group shows in the Exhibition Gallery or sold their work in the Sales Gallery. 

To honor and celebrate that legacy – and all of the artists, community members, and patrons who’ve contributed to it – we’ve assembled a juried group show featuring the work of more than 30 artists. This special Gallery Anniversary Reception will include storytelling from artists, staff, and community members who have been a part of the Gallery’s rich history; a special poetry reading from Whalan poet and artist Diane Knight; and live music as well. 

The group show will run from June 17 – August 13. Other related events include a special anniversary after hours celebration from 7:00 – 9:00 pm on Saturday, July 15th on the back patio of High Court Pub. and the Canvas Clash, a fast-paced, live painting showdown between six artists that will take place on Thursday, July 13th from 6:30 – 8:30 pm at Sylvan Brewing.

The 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.
