In the UROC Gallery: "Joy in Translation"
Fine art photographer Anna Min spent the last year seeking out joy and wonderment in the modern world and answering the question, "Where does joy go when it's not around here?"

In the UROC Gallery- "Bridges: We Are Stronger Together"
Twin Cities artist Tricia Schweitzer spends a lot of time driving across bridges. One day, she stopped just long enough to think about how many people have been 'bridges' to her. How could she tell them how thankful she is for their efforts? She decided to make a list and ask each of them if she could paint their portrait. "Bridges: We Are Stronger Together" combines those portraits with Schweitzer's striking paintings of area bridges to remind us of how human connection makes us stronger.
