Boreal Ornament V: First Solo Exhibit at Vesterheim
Tara Austin has her first solo show at Vesterheim! In this blog post she writes about Boreal Ornament V, her exhibit that's on display now through September 22, 2024.
Late June I brought some of my paintings, trunks, beaded jewelry, acrylic tables, and Dala horses to Vesterheim Museum in Decorah, Iowa. I am very thankful for my current exhibit there, Boreal Ornament V. It will be on display through September, I hope you can make the journey there!
It is a beautiful drive just across the Minnesota border in the driftless region. For the craft beer enthusiast there are local breweries, and Decorah’s main street is very cute. Vesterheim Museum boasts a new addition and gallery space, as well as an outdoor museum and beautifully curated grounds. If you travel there by July 27 you will also have a chance to see the National Norwegian-American Folk Art Exhibition, with work by contemporary folk art artists from all over the country.
I look forward to teaching at Vesterheim in mid-August, there are still some spots left in my Gudbrandsdal Rosemaling class and Boreal Rosemaling class, found here.
