Seeds of Change, photographs by Mike Hazard, celebrates the culture and community of Minnesota’s Hmong farmers, while highlighting the beauty of the state’s landscape and agricultural traditions.
Every year, the M purchases a piece from the Minnesota State Fair’s Fine Arts exhibition. This year’s selection is a work by St. Paul-based printmaker Sam Orosz.
Exhibition guest curator Johnnay Leenay and the M’s Arts Access Manager and Curator of Exhibitions and Public Programs discuss the new show, its place in the life of the museum, and how the nuances of American identity play into questions of “arts access.”
Kristin Makholm, Executive Director of the M, is interviewed by AM 950’s Betty Folliard about the museum’s history and future for “A Woman’s Place.”
From youth arts education to thought-provoking exhibitions, in-the-community workshops, and multidisciplinary programming, the M is breaking ground in more ways than one to offer ways for you to discover yourself and your community through American art.
