On the final day, Thursday, April 24, the artwork will come down immediately following the festival, so that students can take their work home with them (approximately 12:00 p.m.). Be sure to visit the Gallery and see this artwork before it’s gone!
This activity is made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through a Minnesota State Arts Board Operating Support grant, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
