When: Exhibit will run from May 16th thru August 12th 2008. Artists Reception will be held Thursday, July 10th from 5-8 PM
Why: In support of Wings Over Alma, a non-profit nature & regional art center which promotes awareness & education of the Upper Mississippi River Fish & Wildlife Refuge.

 Wings Over Alma, a nature and regional art center is celebrating the beauty of nature as seen through the eyes of 11 artists. The center is presenting a new exhibit for the summer of 2008, entitled "Lilies & Lotus" featuring the artwork of: Jean Accola, Jan Brunkow, Ken De Waard, Russ Docken, Christine Foster, Carol Knabe, Nadine Leo, Gary Moss, Jim Rataczak, Sherry Blanchard Stuart and Larry Veeder. Guests will have the chance to meet the artists on Thursday, July 10th from 5-8 pm at the Artists Reception. Enjoy refreshments and live music by the Wabasha Woodwinds.

This exhibit features the native water lilies and lotus of The Upper Mississippi Fish & Wildlife Refuge, as well as the wide variety of the other lilies which so beautifully and colorfully adorn many local gardens and parks. The artists offer a wonderful variety of style, color and media. For Example: Jean Accola's photograph American Lotus I, shot at close range and greatly enlarged, borders on abstraction, while Larry Veeder's Yellowstone Lily Pads brings the impressionistic style of Monet to Alma.

Local daylily hybridizer, Nancy Olson, will be present at the Artists Reception with a floral display and a digital portfolio of her daylilies, including several special hybrids and some of her most recent "babies".
