TOP PLACES TO FIND ART

Art is everywhere in City Center Mankato. You’ll find infrastructure transformed, as traffic boxes, flood and retaining walls and even benches are converted to canvases for local art. Art can be found for enjoyment and purchase throughout our downtown, including at traditional galleries, in coffee shops and on our sidewalks.

Keep an eye on the CityArt Silos coming in the Fall

of 2019. They will feature a large-scale installation by

internationally-renowned artist Guido van Helten.CAN’TWAIT! CITY CENTER ART

The Carnegie Art Center, located in the historic Carnegie Library building, boasts three galleries and a gift shop featuring one-of-a-kind artistic goods.

The Emy Frentz Gallery at Twin Rivers Council for the Arts features new exhibits each month as well as occasional special events.

Edgier work can be found at The 410 Project on South Front Street—look for the bee mural on the outside of the building!

The CityArt Walking Sculpture Tour offers a rotating outdoor display of works by artists from across North America in the City Center of Mankato and North Mankato. Visit cityartmankato.com to learn more.

Vetter Stone Plaza, at the corner of Walnut and 2nd, is a gathering space inspired by natural beauty. Minnesota Stone for the walls was donated by Vetter Stone Company in memory of Ann Vetter, a strong supporter of the arts in Mankato. The walls also feature art by Greg Mueller that forms a compressed image of the Minnesota River, while unique benches by Korrin Lohmann evoke the three Mankato bridges spanning that river.

Local artists, working with the CityArt program and City of Mankato, have installed two new, high-impact murals in the last few years. The Mini Mural, painted on the flood wall by Reconciliation Park, highlights our connection to the Minnesota River, while Kites, on Riverfront Drive near the Southern Minnesota Children’s Museum, adds whimsical color to a retaining wall.

In 2018, the City Center’s INFUSE: Artists on Main Street program brought creativity to Old Town’s alleyway from Rock Street to Plum Street. You’ll see murals (large and small), a bench, a Chalk Box and a steel and glass piece.

Steamboats cruised the Minnesota

River from 1850-1897.

HISTORY NICE TO KNOW

Your first stop should be the Blue Earth County History Center, featuring the people, places and events that shaped Mankato’s history. The Lincoln Park Historic District showcases architecture from 1856 to 1930, as well as the Boy in Blue Civil War Memorial.

The historic R.D. Hubbard House was the first home in Mankato with plumbing, electricity and a telephone. Guided tours and special events are available May-September.

Local author Maud Hart Lovelace wrote 13 Betsy-Tacy books that give readers a unique feel for what Mankato (“Deep Valley”) was like in the early 20th Century. The Betsy and Tacy homes are open for tours and special events—bringing history to life.

Reconciliation Park marks a tragic moment in Mankato’s history. Commemorating the 1862 mass hanging of 38 Dakota Warriors, it is a place to reflect and remember. Several memorials are included in the park.

City Center Mankato showcases its history with 18 Heritage Plaques throughout downtown.

The City Center Mankato is bookended by Sibley Park and Riverfront Park, with plenty of additional green spaces available for activities and recreation. Sibley Park is the place for year-round family fun. During the summer, the zoo features sheep, goats, calves, piglets, chickens and even llamas! Get moving with miles of beautiful walking trails and exercise equipment. The fun keeps up during the winter, with a sledding hill and Kiwanis Holiday Lights offering cold-weather excitement. The Children’s Museum of Southern Minnesota is a can’t-miss for families, full of indoor and outdoor adventure.
