Red Wing Photography Club News

The Red Wing Photography club is pleased to announce the gallery show of its members work at the Anderson Center in Red Wing. The exhibition will feature the work of 33 members of the club in the main gallery of the center. The opening reception is scheduled for March 25th at 6:30 p.m. The reception will include food, non-alcoholic beverages, music and an introduction to the members work. This gallery exhibition is in conjunction with the Red Wing Club's third anniversary.



Named one of the top artistic destination points in the Upper Mississippi region by National Geographic Traveler Magazine , the Anderson Center has served the artistic community and the citizens of Minnesota through artistic leadership, program development, and support since 1995. It is the mission of the Anderson Center to uphold the unique wealth of the arts in the region; to develop, foster, and promote the creation of works by artists of all kinds; and to provide leadership and services that help to insure a strong, healthy arts community and a greater recognition of the value of arts in society.

The Red Wing Photography Club is very proud to be permanently housed at this facility. The club has its own studio/workshop/classroom on the second floor of the main building. The March gallery show is very exclusive as the center only has two full gallery showings each year. The club will have over 30 photographers from beginners to advanced amateurs on display.

The Red Wing Photography Club has been in existence three years and now has over 100 members. The club's mission is more about education than competition. It offers intermediate photo classes, an advanced exposure class, studio lighting workshop, composition class, and photo critique workshops to club members at no charge. The club is currently expanding its studio at the Anderson Center. When this expansion is completed the club plans to offer classes in photography for a fee to non-members.
