– Sistas Corner and Sweetlight Gallery in Crookston are hosting the Anishinaabe Artisan Valentine’s Day Market, an event that will feature the work of Native artists from north-central Minnesota, on Saturday, Feb.
It also regularly hosts pop-up shops, at which local makers can display and sell their products.
As the event grew in number of artists, Iverson reached out to Andy Hall, owner of next door Sweetlight Gallery, to help host the event.
The Anishnaabe Artistan Market currently has around 40 Native and non-Native members who are artists from the Red Lake, Leech Lake and White Earth Reservations and Bemidji area.
Nordrum specializes in folk-style painting and sells items like cards, coffee mugs and tote bags with her artwork on it.
“We’re a very creative group of people and we’re always trying new things,” said Nordrum.
“We’re not told about events and we can’t get on lists for them, so having our own collective and putting on our own shows gets our art out there to the community.
The Anishinaabe Artisan Valentine’s Day Market will be from 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
