“We’re very excited to introduce this program to area residents,” said Minnesota Discovery Center interim director Paul Dwyer. “It’s something that we feel will connect our local artists and musicians to the public and help create the sense of community that we’re committed to building at Minnesota Discovery Center.”
 
Art in the Park will also feature visual artists and craft artisans exhibiting their work and/or sharing creative techniques with the public. “Art in the Park is about enjoying the talents of our area artists and learning about musical and artistic genres,” said Jan Carey, Hibbing Community College librarian and MDC board member.
 
Art in the Park takes place at MDC every Thursday through September 2, from 5 to 9 p.m. Admission is free, and includes access to the museum. A 6 p.m. trolley ride will be available for $2 per person; mini-golf will be open for $2 per round.
