30th Anniversary Exhibition

Three decades of existence is long enough for any art space to be proud of, and Groveland takes a well-deserved bow with this 30-artist showcase featuring many of the gallery’s longtime favorites. Much of the work on display is recent, but there are several notable pieces that go back even before Groveland existed, including a 1962 Mondrianesque work by “Dean of Minnesota painters” Cameron Booth. A bit of trivia we picked up in our research: Gallery founder Al Keith also leased cows to local farmers, who, we suppose, wanted the milk but didn’t want to—well, you probably know the joke. (Keith himself moved on to new pastures in 1976.) Meanwhile, in the Annex behind the gallery is a tribute to history of a different sort there—Stuart Klipper’s “Louisiana Purchase,” commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Jeffersonian land deal in a series of lovely panoramic photographs of each state carved from the territory.
