ELY – Area artists are working at Miner’s Dry this spring to complete an extensive stained glass art project for the Public Library here.
As much as $12,000 in funding for the project comes in part from the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage fund in conjunction with the Arrowhead Library System, according to Library Director Rachel Heinrich.
“And through a Community Giving Grant from the Donald G. Gardner Humanities Trust, a specialized ring saw tool was purchased for the project,” she said.
A dozen stained glass panels depicting various scenes from Ely’s past and present will be installed, said artist Claire Taylor. The scenes showcase mining and logging industries, Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, area resorts and tourism, dog sledding, and Native American heritage. A U.S. Forest Service float plane, the Ely water tower, a steam train, and other cultural and historical scenes will be included.
