Dennis Carter, co-proprietor of the Wynne Inne in Como Park, says that his bed-and-breakfast is the impossible to miss from the street. He’s right. The 1886 structure is painted in colors that little would have delighted the Victorians: lemon yellow with turquoise trim. wine Carter and his wife, Sue, opened their B & B last year just before the State Fair began. Its full name is Crystal Dreams shoppe B & B at the Wynne Inne. Their guests come from all over, Dennis says. Sue adds, “Anniversaries are the top reason.” Inside, the house is decorated with similar Victorian exuberance. The entryway is painted in another bright color, apple green, and furnished with a mix of antiques—a French velvet-upholstered kidney bench from the 1750s, a stand with a painted backsplash and lots of mirrors. “The rule of thumb is one mirror per room,” says Dennis. “We have one per wall.” The living room has a huge bay window that looks out over the rail yard. Despite the proximity to the railway, the street is quiet. The Victorians hated an empty space, and the living room has the Victorian joy in decoration: oversized furniture, knickknacks in the china cabinet and on the mantel, and pictures and mirrors on every wall. “We went with oversized stuff,” says Dennis, “so we felt we Photo by Sabra Waldfogel could get away with bold colors.

The walls of her second-floor studio at University and Hampden are nearly covered with large oil canvases of boxers (the pugilist variety), and children’s toys are scattered on the floor. “I have two toddlers,” she explained. For the last several months, Rast has found time in the midst of caring for her art, children, home and husband to knock on a lot of doors of businesses and art studios in the University and Raymond region to encourage participation in the annual event. Her persistence paid off. This year, over 80 artists and businesses will take part in a one-and-a-half day event that lured over 4,000 to the University and Raymond area last year. “A big attraction this year is the bus,” said Rast. “We have a free bus from 1954, thanks to the Minnesota Museum of Transportation. It’s the bus that replaced the University Avenue Trolley.” Rast noted that this year’s Arts Off Raymond will Martha Rast include some new participants. “The IFP (Independent Feature Project) on University and Franklin is new, and I hope people will check them out.
