Past Thursday Night Events
Step back in time and experience the enchantment of 1848! Join us at MMAM on Thursday evening to celebrate the opening of A Spectacle in Motion, an exhibition that breathes life into one of America’s most remarkable artistic panoramas. Designed to be an unforgettable night out, this event promises history, fun, and entertainment against the scenic backdrop of the Mississippi River.
Winona’s famous piano duo brings us ‘en bateau’ (French for ‘in a boat’) through a romantic program exploring water, boat rides, and beautiful melodies. The Minnesota Marine Art Museum’s new rotating exhibit Fluid: What is Marine Art and What Can it Be?, offers a companion to the music that invokes images of Venetian gondoliers and rocking, swaying vessels in which audiences can envision themselves sailing on majestic waters.
Join us for a fun night out at this Craft + Cocktail workshop on Thursday, February 13 from 6-8pm. You’ll craft unique cocktails with a Water Bar mixologist, enjoying each sip as you create a new craft. Under the guidance of Lindsay Krage, you'll also design and block print your own custom bar towel, perfectly paired with your cocktails!
