Mobile Art Gallery
The Mobile Art Gallery was created by ArtReach members to bring art and music directly to communities throughout the St. Croix River Valley. Anna Koosmann led a collaborative design workshop with members, developed design concepts for community feedback, and helped guide the final vision. Built in 2016, the traveling gallery continues to operate each summer, showcasing local art at venues across the Saint Croix Valley region.

"Engaging volunteers and staffers in brainstorming and idea generation is one thing, but synthesizing the ideas to create a simple, functional and beautiful design for the Mobile Art Gallery was another thing all together!
Anna did both with grace and creativity. We enjoyed working with her, following her recommendations and realizing the Mobile Art Gallery's potential. The re-imagined pull-behind trailer continues to take art programming to parks and community events as it has since 2016."
