Jaques Art Center

Reviewed By JoeNathan9249 - Saint Paul, United States

This is exactly the kind of place that makes Tripadvisor so valuable...a not well known local treasure. This free museum on a main highway going into Aikin formerly was Aikin's "Carnegie Library." It has been beautifully and lovingly restored. The central story it tells is of a hugely talented youngster, Francis Lee Jaques & the Jaques Art Center Francis Lee Jaques was hired by the Museum of Natural History in NYC that sent him all over the world because of his enormous talent. Some of his most beautiful nature works are on display - they're stunning. Two books he wrote with his wife also are available for purchase along with other locally produced art. There are periodic shows featuring nearby artists and local stories. We were nearby at Ruttgers BayLake Lodge and checked Tripadvisor, which mentioned this. THANKS - this is a five story attraction for people who love art and stories about hugely talented rural people.

Red Wing Arts Association

Reviewed By 615bettys - Decatur, United States

In addition to information about local venues, the historic Red Wing train depot houses the RW Arts Association, complete with for-sale art and jewelry from local artists. Since Red Wing is my home town, I knew that Marjorie Vogel was the founder of the Arts Association, and the gallery at this venue bears her name.

New York Mills Regional Cultural Center

Reviewed By RaisedRural - Minnesota, United States

I have attended a few very interesting presentations, great concerts, and wonderful exhibits. Beautiful buildings built in the late 1800s. Lots of light and plenty of room. They have a nice little gift shop. Lots of goods by local artists, plenty of books, Finnish and Scandanavian candies, and lots more. Betsy and Cheryl are very good at what they do and you can tell they care deeply about the New York Mills community.
