Here’s a thing: Red Wing is a beautiful city in southern Minnesota; we all know that. But it’s even better because on top of it’s adorable downtown, stunning river views, and (obviously) the Red Wing Shoe Co., they also have the Anderson Center! It’s a residency program for writers and artists, and it’s pretty rad.
