Every February the MonDak Heritage Center reopens its galleries after a January cleaning to one of its most popular exhibits – the Annual Quilt Show! After more than a quarter of a Century, it's still going strong, with as many as 100 quilts filling the gallery with warmth and color in any given year. In addition to taking in the show, Quilt Show visitors can also join in special lectures and presentations about quilts, their history, caring and hanging them and much more. Be sure to attend in February and see how this craft has evolved over the years!

In March 2006 we greeted spring with the MonDak Heritage Center’s First Annual Wing Fling, where birdhouses handcrafted by amateur and professional artists were sold in a live auction to benefit the museum. Now the event has grown into a lively Spring auction where you can buy all sorts of fun and practical art to beautify your lawn and entice both the birds and your guests to stay and have a chat. Come bid on birdhouses, baths, feeders and other outdoor ornaments and celebrate Spring!

The MonDak Heritage Center hosts an annual Youth Art Show every year to encourage young artists to pursue their talents and to give them a place to display their works. Sponsors for the show also provide prize money. Participating students range from middle school to high school age, and their artwork includes drawings, color graphics, sculpture, and mixed media. A reception for the young artists is typically held. For details on how to enter, please see our Youth Art Show Prospectus.

Another very popular show at the MonDak is its annual Miniature Art Show. Drawing entries form across the nation and across the world, the show is an amazing display of fine detail on a tiny scale. When viewing the miniature art, the first inclination is to lean in, squint, and look closer. To aid those viewers the museum provides magnifiers to help visitors appreciate the true artistry found in these small gems. See how theses paintings stand up to the closest inspection and you will appreciate the intricacy and exquisite detail of this art form exhibited each winter at MDHC.
For information on entering an art piece please see the Miniature Art Show Prospectus.

As a community cultural center, the MonDak Heritage Center is always mindful of its debt to the local community and its supporters. At Christmas time, the museum hosts an annual Christmas celebration in early December to thank the community for all its support. The Christmas often has an ethnic theme, featuring Christmas foods, traditions and music from many different countries. A tree decorating contest, bake sale and Dutch auction are also among the many activities scheduled each year. |
