Welcome artists and art lovers of the Red River Valley.
The newly formed group, River Walk Artists Co-operative, featuring award winning and well known artists from the northern Red River Valley, is pleased to invite the public to their art gallery and cooperative shop. Future art classes for the community, and classes and support for artists to develop in their skills as professional and showing artists are being planned.
River Walk Artists is an artists' cooperative formed as a gallery/retail shop in the River Walk Centre in East Grand Forks. The mission is to provide artists with collective support to build their artistic careers; to provide artists with a permanent space to exhibit and sell their artwork; to engage the community at large with the arts; and to increase awareness and appreciation of the visual arts throughout the Red River Valley community.
The month of December in 2011 was a trial period for the group to see if there was enough interest from local artists and the community to warrant such and endeavor. With help and guidance from Northwest Minnesota Arts Council the group came together, formulated a plan and opened their doors for a month long trial run. In January 2012 their group reviewed their experience and decided to formally create a group. They elected officers and are currently in the process of setting up their business, developing their by-laws, exhibition schedule, and class calendar.
To be an Exhibiting Artist Member Please apply with membership chairman Therese Masters Jacobson at: therese1950@earthlink.net.
Come and see Amazing Art from artists like Phyllis Kalliokoski, Therese M. Jacobson, Mary Ann Laxen, Carolyn Meisel, Kimberly Forness Wilson, Paula Kallinen, Mike Deziel, Renee Jensen, Wes Peck, Cecilia Lysne, Jean Westman, Jean O’Neil, Dean Vikan, Teresa Cresap, Gary Stegman (Crookston High School art teacher) and Robert Bykonen.
First show of 2012 is the Sweet Art Show 6-9 p.m. Thursday, February 2, 2012. Hearts will be placed on certain pieces of art for discounts and there will be a door prize.
Open Hours: Tuesday through Saturday noon to 8 p.m., Sundays noon to 5 p.m. at River Walk Centre, 211 Demers Ave, East Grand Forks, MN 56721.
