Traditions: Three Generations of Sweere Family Art
September 7-27
Opening reception: sunday, september 14, 1-5pm

The Owatonna Arts Center is proud to present an exhibition featuring the artwork of The Sweere Family.

In the early 1960’s, Joseph and Mary Sweere were married and moved to Owatonna, Minnesota, where they raised a family of six children.

They maintained a busy and creative home where all six children - Michael, Melissa, Steven, Craig, Jonathan and Ryan - were encouraged to explore and pursue the arts. Drawing and painting, as well as literature, music and theatre were a big part of growing up in the Sweere household.

For over sixty years and spanning three generations, the Sweere family continues to create.

The Owatonna Arts Center will be displaying an inspiring and diverse selection of their original works, including several pieces from the family’s private collection.

Gallery hours are 1-5 pm, Tuesday through Sunday.
