Art: Viewpoint

At the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, you and your family can experience Viewpoint, an art exhibit that explores how artists see the world around them. Brian Jensen’s precise acrylic landscapes invite you to notice familiar Minnesota scenery with fresh eyes, while Mary Meuwissen’s layered paintings encourage you to feel the energy and emotion of nature. Together, the works offer a thoughtful, family-friendly way to slow down, look closely, and talk about color, memory, and place. You will explore landscape-inspired art, compare two distinct artistic styles, and discover how nature can be shown in both literal and abstract ways. It is a welcoming stop for adults and kids visiting the arboretum together.
