The Minnesota Artists Association: 2013 Spring Juried Art Show runs from April 13th through May 18th. The MAA is the first actual art organization in Minnesota. It formed in 1937 when a group of artists joined forces to support and encourage each other in the face of adversity which was a result of the Great Depression. Today the organization is made up of artists of all levels working in a variety of mediums. The exhibit will include 90 works of art by 35 different artists. The show will open with a reception on Saturday April 13th from 7 to 9 pm.
