Arts Meet Parks through the Mobile Art Gallery
Thanks to an Arts Access grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, ArtReach St. Croix and naturalists at three state parks will be collaborating on a series of pop-up performances and art exhibitions this summer.
Pop-up Performances featuring Blue Hazard
Neighbors, campers and day visitors are invited to enjoy a lively evening in the park for a modern bluegrass concert.
The members of Blue Hazard grew up spending summers at folk festivals and fiddle camps, immersed in the traditions and tunes of early American folk music. The emerging yet accomplished musicians of Blue Hazard include Clara Wicklund of Marine on St. Croix, Hannah Gruber Johnson of Maplewood, Luke and Dale Gruber of Minneapolis, and Uriah Nibbe of Plymouth.
