Fondly thinking

Hennepin County Library announces its next Cargill Gallery exhibit, Fondly thinking…, an exhibit that highlights the work of several Minneapolis based artists ranging in medium and thematics. Curator and showing artist Lynaea Russom invites viewers to engage with works through many lenses. Whether it be humor, emotional text, or thought-provoking paintings, we turn to the audience and ask you; "have you been thinking of us?" Fondly thinking… features paintings, original prints, motion design, and more.

Visit this exhibition at the Cargill Gallery, located on the second floor of Minneapolis Central Library, from February 5-March 29, 2026. Also, join us for a reception on February 13, 2026.
