Winona State University’s Women of Wellness (WOW) event is an afternoon of storytelling, inspiration, and creativity on Thursday, May 15, 2025, from 1 – 5 PM at the spectacular Minnesota Marine Art Museum (MMAM) in Winona, Minnesota.

This powerful event invites you to discover the transformative impact of art and storytelling, guiding you on a path of personal growth and lasting well-being.

Come and hear the stories of two brilliant experts in the arts:

Liz Bucheit – Goldsmith & Jewelry Designer

Amanda Blue – Professional Opera Singer 
The Healing Power of Music and Art
Be inspired by Amanda’s journey of using music and art to heal from chronic illness and create supportive spaces for others. Learn how to harness creativity for personal growth, deeper understanding, and stronger community connections.



Next, discover how visual art can enhance your well-being by exploring the world-class art collection through a Docent-Guided Tour of the MMAM Gallery. 
Lastly, unwind with hor d’oeuvres and conversation on the beautiful MMAM Patio overlooking the Mississippi River.
