The Slaggie Family Lobby at the Winona County History Center is host to a local art gallery space in partnership with the River Arts Alliance. WCHS and RAA hope to create new opportunities for partnerships and to showcase Winona County’s cultural heritage through local art. These amazing works might just become heirlooms and messengers to future historians.
Gallery shows are free to view. Artwork is for sale, benefitting the Winona County Historical Society and the artist. Regular museum admission applies for the History Center main exhibition hall and archives.
