(Silver Bay, MN) August 17, 2026 — Silver Bay Public Library and Tettegouche State Park collaborate to bring the latest “Evening Showcase of Art in Silver Bay” featuring artists in two exhibition receptions on one night. Each location curates rotating art exhibitions, with receptions coinciding on the same day when possible. The exhibiting sites are a five minute drive apart, allowing for visitors a mini progressive art crawl, of sorts.
Silver Bay Public Library will be displaying the photography of Ryan Pennesi for the months of September and October.
Ryan Pennesi is a wildlife and conservation photographer based in Finland, MN, where he lives with his partner Danielle and their daughter, Juniper. This art gallery features wildlife and landscape photography showcasing the dramatic natural beauty, fragility, and resilience of Northeastern Minnesota. Learn more at https://www.ryanpennesi.com/
This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
The open-house style reception for Ryan Pennesi will take place Friday, September 4 from 5:30-6:45pm at Silver Bay Public Library.
Following this, the Tettegouche State Park artist reception for landscape painter MaryAnn Cleary will be at 7:00pm to 8:30pm also on Friday, September 4. MaryAnn Cleary’s paintings will be on display at Tettegouche State Park for the month of September. Learn more at https://www.maryanncleary.com/
