The Upper Minnesota River Art Crawl, otherwise known as the Meander, will be kicking off by the Minnesota River in downtown Granite Falls on Friday Night October 2nd.
The award winning Meander is a free self-guided tour of artist studios featuring 40 local artists from the Upper Minnesota River Valley. The Meander is a great “trip on a tank full” for those seeking authentic culture, history and scenic vistas. The event is about welcoming people and being connected to the local history, culture and landscape. We encourage visitors to visit artists in their own environment who celebrate a lifestyle that represents the small, handmade, personal and local culture of the area.
This event has more than 33 individual studios in and near the Western Minnesota Communities of Ortonville, Appleton, Madison, Milan, Dawson, Montevideo and Granite Falls. – http://www.artsmeander.com/
