Artists of Northwest Minnesota 6th Edition is here!
Featuring listings of artists, performers, &
arts businesses and organizations
The Northwest Minnesota Arts Council is pleased to announce the publication of the 6th edition of Artists of Northwest Minnesota booklet.
The NWMAC publishes a directory every 3 years that lists fine craft and visual artists, photographers, writers, and performing artists who answered our call for entries, as well as arts organizations. This is an invaluable resource when the public is looking for art and artists in our region. This booklet allows you to connect with and find local artists and their products or services, as well as businesses that support the arts. Our region is home to talented writers, visual artists, performance artists, fiber artists, sculptors, 3D artists, photographers, mosaic artists, printmakers, jewelers, metal artists, wood carvers, and more. This edition of the booklet has an added section of performing artists, including musicians who play in our area. Artists of Northwest Minnesota was designed by Kat Allen of Warroad and edited by Kristin Eggerling, NWMAC Promotions Specialist and Executive Director Mara Hanel with funding from the McKnight Foundation.
Pick up a copy of this directory at no cost at your local library, coffee shop, or other businesses in our region. To view the booklet on our website click here.
