Remembering Rondo is a landmark retrospective of Rose and Melvin Smith's expansive careers in the arts. Currently living in Eagan, MN, Melvin R. and Rose J. Smith were residents of St. Paul’s Rondo neighborhood for many years. The works in this exhibition are drawn from the artists' Rondo series—a sprawling body of work that stands as an elegiac anthem for that lost neighborhood and the enduring community that lives on in its wake. Hear audience reactions to the exhibition in these videos, recorded by The StoryMobile at both the exhibition opening and community day in summer 2019.
