Photography & Art at the Rock: Shelley Getten

For the month of October, we are proud to feature Shelley Getten, who has been a printmaker since 2005. All of her art (and poetry) is deeply rooted in our connection to the Earth and its creatures. This connection is what binds us as inhabitants of an increasingly fragile planet. The exhibit, North Shore Life represents work created since moving to the North Shore from the Twin Cities seventeen years ago!

Pennfest

Once a year, Penn Avenue in Richfield is closed to motorized traffic and open for walkers and bikers to explore a wide range of fun activities, including music, dance, sports, games, crafts, community groups and more. That especial day is Penn Fest! Penn Fest is a community-oriented, grassroots event meant to bring people together for a day of fun. Neighbors meet neighbors. Families make memories with their children. It's a day to bring along and old friend, or maybe make a new one.

Join us on the opening day of the Julia Child: A Recipe for Life exhibition for a special conversation with the original collectors and keepers of Julia Child's home kitchen.
