‘Many Waters’ Attempts to Capture the Essence of our Most Important Resource

Thanks to the NewStudio Gallery in St. Paul, the Minnesota Museum of American Art made a return to in-person showing with their latest Exhibit Many Waters. Based at the Gallery and at the M’s Robert Street location and surrounding skyway and running through Oct. 2, the museum’s latest exhibit is likely to have something for everyone.
Many Waters, inspired in part by the Mississippi River and the endeavors of Minnesota’s American Indian peoples, the exhibit provides a space for its 50 jury-selected artists to express themselves while exploring their relationship to water.
“The work in Many Waters fosters conversation, awareness, a sense of care, as well as new ways of thinking about water and water stories through many different lenses, including ecological, social, political, historical, spiritual, and creative,” The M writes of the exhibit. 
Showcased work is made from a spectrum of materials, many of which were found. These denote a concern for the environment and the impact humans have on bodies of water. 
The exhibit comes as The M is in a nationwide search for a new executive director. The museum hopes to fill the position by early November and will begin reviewing applications on Sept. 7.

NewStudio Gallery is located at 2303 Wycliff St, St Paul. Free parking is available on-street and in two adjacent surface lots. A bike rack is also available outside the building.
