“Daybreak in Rice Park” Bill Hosko 2nd Floor—Galleria

Saint Paul artist Bill Hosko captured the first rays of sun on a wintry morning in Saint Paul’s historic Rice Park. Did you know that Rice Park pre-dates New York’s Central Park by one year?

“Lady of the Fountain” Artist Unknown 2nd Floor—South Stair

This French bronze, circa 1905, once graced the courtyard of Saint Paul’s City Hall Park. The artist and foundry are unknown, but her classically inspired beauty and gracefulness endure.

Louise Nevelson 1st Floor—Cortile North Wall

Anna was Landmark Center’s 2015 Summer Arts Discovery resident artist and created, “Letters to Landmark.” Anna invited everyone to share their memories and stories about this beloved landmark in “letters” that were transferred onto handmade porcelain envelopes, which are suspended on a metal grid of Saint Paul. Her art recalls the building’s days as the Post Office for the area.

“Catch A Wave”

“Puddle and Grass” Asia Ward North Gallery

You’ll never look at a “mere” puddle the same way. It’s an eco-system unto itself, bursting with depth and life. Look deep into the topography of this puddle.

“Brothers” Angela captures the special bond between brothers, whether siblings, or ‘brothers’ in a greater community. Family is family.

Angela Davis Central Stair - 1st Landing

Chris Williams Galleria “Untitled: #1 #2 #3”

Polygons and parallelograms are rigid, familiar, and conventional boundaries. Chris does not let those conventions of conformity constrain his freedom of expression.

St. Paul Slim South Balcony

“United Front #6” Unity brings hope, progress, understanding, and peace. Slim’s work truly unites our community. Look closely: the entire background is comprised of the signatures, tags and messages of others.

Judd Nelson North Gallery

Lost in an electronic world of her own, this young lady is oblivious to us and the world around her. Texting, Snapchat, Instagram: it’s a whole new universe. Life influences art.

“Lost in Space”

Is it a mosaic? An essay on geometry? Eight individual works of art? You are the beholder -what do you see?

Keren Kroul East Balcony

“Cloud Violet”

Art in miniature! The diorama (an art form especially beloved by schoolchildren) invites us into the artist’s world where objects glow and whimsy abounds.

“Normified” • “Cabin Fever”

Norman Andersen North End—Hallways

Sharol Nau South Stair Landing

“White Goldbach” Prime numbers. Geometry. Patterns. Goldbach’s Conjecture becomes art on canvas. Not good at math? Not to worry. Art doesn’t ask us to “know”… only to think and experience.

“Mesohippus Mirabilis” Man and myth come together in this prehistoric depiction of a horse long since gone...or did it ever exist? After reading the exhibit story...you decide!

Michael Bahl North Balcony

“Meet” the artists selected by jury to exhibit in Summer Arts Discovery this season. You’ll have an opportunity to

offer your written remarks and comments as well as vote for your favorite piece of art!

Ann Klefstad North Lobby

If the world is home to man and beast, then there can be no doubt that for many creatures the forest is, indeed, the best room in the house.

*On exhibit after June 15.

“Living Room”

Perpetual Ping-Pong! This hands-on art is representative of “automata”: a machine designed to follow a predetermined sequence of operations. Turn the crank and ride the wave!
