Trey Everett, Showcase Specialist
Trey Everett is the Arts Council’s Showcase Specialist. He creates and installs all of our exhibits, including the annual NW Art Exhibit, the Fournet Gallery, and exhibits at our NWMAC Gallery and in the display cases at Northland Community and Technical College in Thief River Falls. He is also part of the team putting on the Artist Spotlights.
Trey is a pen and ink artist, muralist, and retreat leader, in addition to being a curator of multiple galleries in NW Minnesota. His focus is on the intersection of creativity, spaciousness, and flow. Trey's illustrations and indoor and outdoor murals often reflect on and include symbols that embody the concepts of welcoming and inclusion; and involve calligrams (images with words). He has taught classes on how to create murals, and has designed and created murals as an Artist-in-Residence in multiple schools in Minnesota and North Dakota. His mural work is well-known throughout our region. Trey and his partner Corene have three adult children and live in Crookston.

About working with the Arts Council, Trey shared, “Art is important to me and now I have the opportunity to assist and get to know artists in our region. The idea of collaborating with other artists and helping them with some of their art dreams is fantastic. Creativity is powerful! It moves us out of our anxious, neurotic minds into the deeper, calming place of our heart. I’m grateful to have this opportunity to promote and delve into creativity with others.”
