Did you do a window walk yet?! Go for a stroll through Red Wing Downtown Main Street and check out the Homecoming windows! They don’t photograph great due to glare so go see them in person!

What a great opportunity for our art students and alumni!

🎨 We’ve been dreaming of this since day one… we always wanted Otto’s to be more than just great food and drinks we wanted it to be a space for community! A place you can go and hangout for more than just a meal. We wanted this space to be a place of fun, music and creativity! From the very beginning we planned a space for local art, our own gallery wall to support local artists. A rotating celebration of creativity from our community. So we’re finally making it happen—and we want to feature YOU.

If you (or someone you know) are a local artist and would love to have your work displayed and available for sale with zero commission taken, send us samples at talk2us@ottospublichouse.com. Let’s fill this space with beauty, color, and community. 💛

We are officially done with the 2024-2025 school year! Thanks to our students for a fun year of learning and creating!

Special thanks goes out to Cherish who has been an AMAZING addition to the art department for two years. Unfortunately we took on some of the district cuts and Cherish won’t be back next fall😭. Her knowledge of all things clay and her s***k and smile brought so much to our department and she will be GREATLY missed here! If you want to keep making ceramics with Cherish- check out teen open studio or other courses at Red Wing Arts Clay and Creative Center this summer!

Have a great summer Wingers and I hope to see you in the art room this fall! -Bray

Congrats to our 2025 Art All Star Nora Tift!
