Join us for a celebration honoring the memory of artist and Ely, MN resident John Ratzloff, who passed away peacefully on January 21, 2025. His collection of fine art photography, Portraits of Indigenous Authors and Artists, is on display and has been extended through Sept. 1, 2025. Spanning over 30 years, this exhibit showcases intimate portraits of influential Indigenous writers and creators. This project started when Ratzloff was invited to photograph the life and natural beauty of White Earth Nation; the photography honors the voices and legacies of Indigenous leaders, offering a unique visual narrative that celebrates their contributions to art, culture, and advocacy.
