This is the final weekend of our Silent Art Auction! Place your bid on one (or more) of these stunning works of art before the excitement ends at 5 p.m. on Sunday.

MPR Day is here! Kerri Miller is live at 9:00. Overflow parking is available at the Moorhead Center Mall and there is plenty of street parking south of the Museum.

We are honored to be hosting MPR Day: Moorhead at The Rourke! Join our friends from Minnesota Public Radio, who will be at the museum throughout the day tomorrow, along with musical guests, interviews, and all the other great content we've enjoyed from MPR these first 50 years.

We have so many rounds of thanks to offer for the success of last night's 2017 Live Art Auction: the artists and patrons who contributed such fantastic artwork, the bidders who pursued their desired items with vigor and purpose, and—as always—our volunteers and supporting members. Now ... the Silent Art Auction continues! Visit us today and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m.

We are pleased to offer these 19 fantastic lots in our Live Art Auction this Friday evening! For a preview of the artwork—and to pre-register for bidding—visit The Rourke from 1 to 5 p.m. on Thursday afternoon.

We thank the artists and collectors who contributed work for the Live and Silent Auctions—the works also combine to create quite a remarkable exhibition. Stop by this afternoon to absorb the display and consider placing a few bids of your own. The Rourke is open until 5 p.m. today.

Day 2 of the 2017 Silent Auction and the bidding continues ...

Artist Mark Elton will be signing copies of his recently published book "Atypical Animals" at the museum on Saturday 30 September from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Mark previously shared some of his creature creations at The Rourke in 2015 with his first solo exhibit “Menagerie.”

Art lovers, rejoice!—bidding is underway at The Rourke's Silent Art Auction. Stop in today to make your bids, preview the items in the Live Art Auction, and enjoy Ben Rheault's exhibit "Enantiodromia: Studies".
