Crowe Farm Retreats : 25 Years Celebrating Art & Nature
On Display 11 May - 10 June 2018 in the Main Gallery
For twenty five years, a group of artists has gathered every autumn in Minnesota for a long weekend of painting and camaraderie. It all started at Solinger's Resort on Lake Lida. Then the location changed to Bob Crowe's family lake cabin. Most recently, the Crowe farm has hosted the gathering and has come to be most intimately identified with it.

The Crowe Farm Retreats have included a variety of participants over the years—such as Warren Kessler, Jessica Wachter, and the late Bob Kurkowski—but a core of longtime attendees has made the Retreats their annual tradition:
​Jim Conaway, Bob Crowe, Zhimin Guan, Dan Jones, Paul Kellett, and Carl Oltvedt. The Rourke is proud to present selections of recent work from these six artists as well as a display which fondly recalls the many retreats they've shared.
Exhibitions and operations are supported in part by the generous support of the following regional, state, and local entities:
This activity is funded by The Arts Partnership,
with support from the Cities of Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo.
This activity is funded in part by a grant from the Lake Region Arts Council through a Minnesota state legislative appropriation.
This project is supported in part by a grant from the North Dakota Council on the Arts, which receives funding from the state legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
