Maren Hinderlie, a Scandinavian storyteller from Minneapolis, will tell a story or two and introduce the visiting international artists. Suggested donation at the door of $10, $5 for students.

EXHIBITION : “MIDGE BOLT - AROUND AND ABOUT PEPIN COUNTY”
On View Through September 28
The Lake Pepin Art & Design Center celebrates the 150th birthday of Pepin County with an exhibit of new works and private commissions by photographer Midge Bolt titled "Around and About Pepin County" at the Lake Pepin Art & Design Center.
Midge will showcase privately commissioned Time & Again works from around Pepin County, each accompanied by its own story. Midge will also premiere a new work that adds another dimension to her signature Time & Again series.
A Time & Again image is a telescoped view of a single place at two moments in time. A historic black & white photo, printed on sheer silk, hangs like a scrim in front of the present-day photo on cotton, allowing a look at today through the lens of yesterday. Artist website: www.boltimaging.com
