Winona State University announces Dr. Tom Grier, associate professor of mass communication, had two photos jury-selected for exhibition at Wells Fargo Place in St. Paul.

Wells Fargo Place is home of the Office of the Chancellor of Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU).

The images will be on display for one year beginning this March.

Grier's selected images are "Sugarloaf Winter Sunrise" and "Sugarloaf Birch Frame."

“My photographs of Sugarloaf towering 500 feet above the Mississippi River valley in Winona, Minn., document a beautiful and important landmark that is not a natural rock formation,” said Grier. “The present-day look of Sugarloaf is the result of extensive limestone quarrying in the late 1800s of a once majestic domed-top bluff known to the Indians of the region as Wapasha's Cap.”

The photographs will also be posted on the MnSCU Web site with an artist’s biography and statement of purpose.

The show is scheduled to contain 29 pieces by 15 artists from across the MnSCU system.

For more information call Grier at (507) 457-5239.
