Mick Benson Retrospective at the Whit Gallery

The Whit Gallery is presenting a retrospective on artist Mick Benson.
At age 88, Mick Benson has been contributing to the St. Cloud arts community for decades, an they are featuring his work as part of an effort from his community and patrons.
Among his favorite subjects to paint are historic buildings and he also likes to paint landscapes, flowers and mundane but fascinating machines from the past, redolent of history and a vanished life, such as steam-engine tractors.
Drawing and painting, Benson believes, helps people to see and to appreciate what is around them in their lives.
You can enjoy a retrospective of his life’s work in a series of events from November 1 – 13 at the Whit Gallery, located on West. St. Germain Street in downtown St. Cloud.

International Film Series at St. Cloud State University
2021-11-01 19:00 - 21:00
The International Film Series presented by St. Cloud State University’s Department of Film Studies has returned!
On Monday, Nov. 1st the first film of the series, Waltz with Bashir by Ari Folman will be featured. In 1982, among many Israeli men, Folman is a 19-year-old soldier in the Lebanon War. Many years later, in his groundbreaking autobiographical animation film, he attempts to come to terms with his haunting trauma and piece together his shattered memory. A deeply affecting foray into the horrors and absurdities of wars, Waltz with Bashir is also one of the bravest, most intimate and devastating artistic testimonies of the infamous Shabra and Chatilla massacre. Ultimately; a tale of sacrificed youth, solidarity and regained identity.
The screening begins at 7 p.m. in the Atwood Little Theatre and is free and open to the public. Discussions follow each film in the series.
