On September 26, Franconia Sculpture Park, near Taylors Falls, opens its long-awaited Franconia Commons. The new space includes a gallery, café, gift shop, and flexible space for events and educational programs. The two-building complex is made up of new construction as well as an old farmhouse donated by long-time supporters the Cowles family. “In the nicest way, I call it the Winchester Mystery House,” says Ginger Shulick Porcella, Franconia’s executive director and chief curator. “In terms of aesthetics, it’s sort of like a park-visitor-center-meets-rural-farmhouse, but with a contemporary twist.” The new complex also has an outdoor space created by current Franconia fellow Tom Bierlein, a graduate of Minneapolis College of Art and Design.
