Art for the River

This event is the last of four social events in 2025 to raise funds for Friends of the Mississippi River's Our River Campaign.

Join us for the opening of the art exhibition, Our River: Mississippi Muse. This juried exhibit includes 18 pieces from local artists inspired by the Mississippi River. Every piece in the exhibit is for sale, and a percentage of the proceeds benefits FMR. Attendees will enjoy interactive art-making, opportunities to speak with artists, and food and drinks. This is a special preview night for the exhibition, and you will have the first chance to purchase pieces of art.

The show features Anna Marie Pavlik, Anne and , Dan McAvey, James D. Conaway, Kristen Palm, Kristin Maija Peterson, Linda Gammell, Lonnie Broden, Raquel Diaz Goutierez, Robin Stumbo, Ruthann Godollei, Sam Meersman, Samantha Goetsch, Seitu Ken Jones, Stefanie Kiihn, Ted Pesch, Ron Buelow, and Xiem Busch-Vuong.

FMR will also be celebrating the culmination of the Our River Campaign! By the end of 2025, we aim to reach our $6 million goal, ensuring our vision of a healthy Mississippi River for decades to come. Staff and board members will discuss the next steps for FMR's programs.

Each ticket includes entrance into the art exhibit, an art-making experience, light hors d'oeuvres and drinks.

Please note that all ticket sales are final. No refunds, exchanges, or resale of tickets are permitted. Each attendee must possess a ticket.
