Current Event

A Glimpse of the spring exhibit at the Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia

For 3 years, on a quarterly basis, the ACCC Visual Arts Liaison & Committee have been installing local artists’ work in the well traveled Same Day Surgery wing of Ridgeview Medical Center. The public service initiative has been providing rotating art galleries for the pleasure of the hospital staff, patients and guests. It offers artists the opportunity to exhibit and sell their art, 2D and 3D. It contributes to the ACCC’s mission – to strengthen our community through the arts – and cultivate the arts through the community.

Thanks to Mary Strother, ACCC Visual Arts Liaison and her team, graphic artist who designs the flyer, the printer, and to many artists who have participated in this venture. The ACCC Artist Exhibit is open through April 30th.
