The Upper Mississippi Plein Air Experience 2025
October 2 - 5, 2025
The Minnesota Marine Art Museum presents the third annual Upper Mississippi Plein Air Experience: Boats, Bridges, and Backwaters, a weekend of workshops, exhibitions, presentations, and public programs in Winona, MN. Now in its third year, the Upper Mississippi Plein Air Experience brings together two creative communities committed to making artwork out of doors: today’s urban sketchers and traditional plein air painters. Staged from MMAM, known for its stunning location on the Mississippi River in Southeast Minnesota’s Driftless Region and a world-class art collection, the Upper Mississippi Plein Air Experience is quickly becoming the fall destination for painters and sketchers alike.

Exhibition: “Upper Mississippi River Plein Air: Boats, Bridges and Backwaters” with artwork by Kar-Keat Chong, Joshua Cunningham, Bob Upton, Hannah C. Heyer, Pam Luer, James Richards, Jim Clark
