MASON CITY – Ray Colby, a retired commercial photographer living in Minneapolis, MN, is featured in the solo exhibition, Ray Colby: Nature Photographer, in the Charles H. MacNider Art Museum’s Kinney-Lindstrom Gallery. This photographic display has a three-pronged focus: often-overlooked insects and arachnids that populate Midwest backyards and gardens, large birds of urban Minneapolis, and a stop on the migration route of Sandhill Cranes near the Crex Meadows Wildlife Area in Wisconsin.
The photographs in this exhibition will be available for purchase via auction, with proceeds going to support the Charles H. MacNider Art Museum. Please check in with the Museum’s website for full purchasing details as they are made available – http://www.macniderart.org.
Ray Colby: Nature Photographer is sponsored by the Mason City Clinic Charitable Giving Committee and the David & Phyllis Murphy Charitable Foundation. It will be on display through Wednesday, June 17, 2026. The Museum is free and open to the public.
