City offers rich range of arts, entertainment.
Red Wing delivers a diverse blend of arts, entertainment and activities for your pleasure.
Perhaps most recognized among the city's offerings is the T.B. Sheldon Theatre, founded in 1904. This "glittering jewel box," as it was called after its 1986 refurbishing, was the first city-owned theater in America. Today, the Sheldon offers year-round events ranging from theatre, music, dance, films, comedy, lectures and more. The theater features local and national performers, and also is home to The Sheldon Theatre Brass Band, The Phoenix Theatre and The Red Wing Singers.
The city's range of galleries offer the opportunity to view and purchase original art in a variety of media, including water colors, oils, pastels and charcoal; glass works; wood crafted items; clay and ceramic pieces; and much more. Galleries feature art from local, regional and national artists. In addition, citywide festivals, crafts and arts shows and expositions occur year round!
Red Wing also is known for the Anderson Center, a unique facility set on 330 acres of blufflands dedicated to providing artists, writers and scholars time and space to focus on their work.
Fun Fact
Red Wing is home to a railroad depot built during 1904 that is still in use today by Amtrak and the Red Wing Visitors and Convention Bureau. The style of the depot was based upon some of the architecture on display at the 1893 Chicago Colombian Exposition.
