Faythe Mills Original Acrylic Painting: Morning Reading
Thank You, Evansville!
July was an exciting month for our community, and we'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Evansville Community Club and Carol Johnson for the beautiful flower pots displayed throughout town. They added so much color and warmth and reminded us how public art and community pride go hand in hand.
While you're out and about, take a few extra moments to enjoy the incredible public artwork throughout Evansville, including Carol's stunning quilt-inspired art installations (The one on the bike shelter is amazing.) They are truly something special.
Friday, August 7 | 7:00 p.m.
Join us as Greg Herriges takes the EAC stage for an evening of progressive world music, blending folk, jazz, and rock influences on guitar and the Greek bouzouki. Greg's performances are engaging, unique, and the perfect way to spend a summer evening with friends.
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Lake Region Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund
