Red River Masters:
The Birth of the F-M Art Scene

Heritage Hall
through March 4, 2018


Co-curated by HCSCC Programming Director Markus Krueger and The Rourke Art Gallery's Jonathan Rutter, Red River Masters offers a retrospective of our region's art masters, including the gorgeous work of Jim O'Rourke, Orabel Thortvedt, Richard Szeitz, Charles Beck, Cyrus Running, Annie Stein, and Erik Ahlberg (and several more).

As painters, sculptors, graphic designers, educators, and gallery owners, these individuals built a thriving art scene from a small Midwestern metro at the confluence of the Northern Pacific railroad and the Red River.

Join us to explore the birth of Fargo-Moorhead art.
