Our purpose is simple, to gather friends, family, fans and partners to celebrate and support the Minnesota Marine Art Museum and its mission - creating meaningful art experiences inspired by&nbsp;water.&nbsp;&nbsp;This year, our Gala returns to the shoreline of the Upper Mississippi River on the stunning six-acre riverside site of the Minnesota Marine Art Museum.Ticket sales coming soon

Great Art Inspired by Water: The Minnesota Marine Art Museum is a nonprofit art museum that
engages visitors in meaningful visual art experiences through <a href="https://www.mmam.org/adult-programs" target="_blank">education</a> and <a href=""https://www.mmam.org/exhibitions target="_blank">exhibitions</a> that explore
the ongoing and historic human relationship with water. Located in Winona, Minnesota, the purpose-
built museum is located on the banks of the Mississippi River and boasts six galleries, an educational
and events space, and a destination retail shop on its seven acre riverside campus. It is through this
surprising diversity that MMAM is not only describing what marine art is, but pushing the boundaries
of what marine art can be.


Mission: To create meaningful art experiences that explore our relationship with water. 


Vision: To spark wonder and create a more compassionate and connected world for all.
