The “Art of the Canoe” exhibit has formally opened its doors to the public at the Minnesota Marine Art Museum in Winona, MN.  This show is not to be missed and runs from April 7-August 22, 2009 (exhibit is closed July 15-18th for the Minnesota Beethoven Festival).

Formal invitation to the Art of the Canoe Exhibit

The exhibit celebrates the history, design and development of Minnesota built canoes.

Featured are historic and contemporary canoes and art from the collections of Linda and Mike Chicanowski of the We-no-nah Canoe Company.

In addition to some of my  canoe imagery in photographs are other artist’s original works & photography plus hand-built canoes from renowned Minnesota canoe builders Joe Seliga, Jeanne Bourquin (also of Ely!) and beautiful wood paddles from Whiskeyjack Paddles.

Museum and membership information is available at www.minnesotamarineart.org

So consider taking a worthwhile road trip this spring or summer down to southern Minnesota along the beautiful river valley to Winona, MN.  I know I will!  I’ll even bring my canoe and dip the paddle in the water.
