It's a breath of fresh air to see original artwork on display on such a beautiful venue. I would highly recommend this for anybody who loves art, hiking or supporting artist having a venue to display their pieces.
Located in the scenic St. Croix River Valley of Minnesota, Franconia operates a 50-acre outdoor museum, active artist residency program, and a depth and breadth of community arts programming for a diverse and engaged public. Franconia was founded in 1996 by a small group of professional artists who envisioned a supportive artist residency community and outdoor museum. Today, this vision has been achieved through an active artist residency program that serves over 40 artists each year and arts learning programming that serves over 180,000 annual visitors. We create bold programming that is ambitious, innovative, and that is responsive to the wants and needs of artists and our community.
