What does summertime look like? Long bike rides, lazy afternoons reading on the grass, or sunning on a sandy beach?

For works that call to mind this beloved season, the Minnesota Museum of American Art combed their permanent collection to find art that exudes the essence of summer.

“Summertime” will feature painting, photography, prints, craft, video, and contemporary dance. Visitors to the exhibition are sure to see images that evoke memories of past summers or inspire a stroll through the sunflowers.

The exhibition runs May 14 to Aug. 2 at the MMAA Project Space at 141 E, Fourth Street, St. Paul, MInnesota, 55101

Summertime will feature 30 pieces, as well as the work of three additional local artists.
