Historic Cook County is excited to announce a date for its Public Art Project Unveiling and corresponding Artist Talk with Maeve Gathje. Join us on Saturday, September 28th at 4 pm at the Johnson Heritage Post Art Gallery (115 W Wisconsin St, Grand Marais, MN) to be among the first to see this incredible work of art. The Public Art, titled Biota Borealis, consists of three sand-blasted Minnesota granite stones displaying scenes of Northern Minnesota beauty.
The Celebration will begin with an Artist’s Talk, where Gathje will share photos and stories about her process of designing and working with the stones. Following a brief Q&A session, we will transition outside for the Grand Unveiling.
This project was made possible through the generous support from the Lloyd K. Johnson Foundation.
