The Winona Arts Center presents Influenced by Rockwell Kent; works created in response to the Rockwell Kent Festival from March 13 – April 30. The Rockwell Kent Festival, held in Winona in February to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Kent’s stay in Winona and his influence on the arts, was a point of departure for students in the Printmaking, 3-D Design, and Creative Writing courses to create works of their own. Twenty-four students made relief prints or pop-up book pages and six wrote poetry influenced by various aspects of Kent’s artwork or life that spoke to them.
The public is invited to a reception for the exhibit on Wednesday, March 13th from 7:00-8:30pm. In addition to the artwork at the reception, the Creative Writing students will read their Kent inspired poetry and the WSU Jazz Combo Bopaganda will perform.
