The Northwest Minnesota Arts Council is announcing a Call for Art on “Around the Farm.” Around the Farm will feature Hallock Artist Beau Bakken and is open to entries from our region.
Farming is more than a job or a career. It is fundamental to our community’s way of life, part of our region’s cultural identity and history, and deeply rooted in where and how we live, work, and play. This art exhibit will celebrate farm life and farming and highlight the importance of agriculture in the lives of residents of our northwest Minnesota region through art.
The exhibit will be held in January and February 2025 at Northland Community and Technical College in Thief River Falls. Beau Bakken of Hallock will be the featured artist.
The art will revolve around farms, farming machinery, harvest, farmland, agricultural heritage, farm animals, and farm life. It must be original and in any medium, including painting, mixed media, drawing, mosaic, fiber arts, writing, sculpture, photography, printmaking, and more.
The submission deadline is December 2, 2024, and is limited to two submissions. Send dimensions, medium, title, sale price, and where you are from, along with a photo of the artwork, to treyeverettcreates@gmail.com. We welcome submissions from our seven-county Minnesota service areas, including Kittson, Marshall, Norman, Pennington, Polk, Red Lake, and Roseau counties. Physical artwork will be dropped off at the gallery in Thief River Falls in mid-December—a date to be determined.
