I just got back from a weekend in Orr, MN. I participated in the "Art in the Park" arts and crafts sale that was part of their centennial celebration. I met some great artists and crafters from the area and enjoyed the local camping.

Random news, resources and stuff:
An interesting Northwest Coast styled artist, Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, uses colouring pencil and watercolour to achieve a softer look than the "traditional" solid colour and hard line look of NWCoast stuff. Thanks to Pam at the Fort Frances Museum (newly renovated!), for the link.
I've got the Acrylic on papier-mache piece, "The Last Tasty Bit", on display at the museum, in the CRY OF THE LOON show, until September 30.
