Visiting the Red Wing Area:

Red Wing is an easy drive of less than an hour from the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, or the Rochester area. Here are some options for driving to Red Wing:

1. Take Highway 61 through Hastings and begin your tour at the Anderson Center on the outskirts of Red Wing. You will see the big brick wall on the left side of the road just after crossing the Cannon River. There are four artist studios in the Anderson Center.

2. As an alternative to driving through Hastings, take Highway 10 to Prescott Wisconsin. Follow scenic Hwy 35 from Prescott along the Mississippi to Hwy K just past Diamond Bluff. Take Hwy K to the right (South) to Hager City. Two studios with four artists are located just off of K. Hager City is just across the river from Red Wing.

3. Take highway 52 to Cannon Falls. Follow beautiful country road Hwy 19 to Red Wing. Hwy 19 ends at 61 - just across from the Anderson Center. Nearby is Dan Wiemer on Spring Creek Road (you can get there from Mill rd off of 19, or from Hwy 61).

4. From Southeast of Red Wing take 61, or from Rochester take Highway 63 to Lake City. There are two artists in a Lake City studio and one more studio outside of Red Wing with three artists. Follow 61into downtown Red Wing. There are three more studios within the city of Red Wing. Also in downtown Red Wing is the Red Wing Arts Association in the train depot.
