View the traveling exhibition of contemporary Nordic folk arts and cultural traditions from the American region, curated by the American-Scandinavian Foundation. This exhibition features stunning works by 24 artists from the Upper Midwest, including Tia Keobounpheng, Christine Novotny, John Frandy, Talon Cavender-Wilson, Mike Loeffler, and more.    

Highlighting innovations to and variations on traditions, this exhibit presents artists’ works as living, malleable forms grounded in traditional skills rather than as static objects rooted in the imagined past.   

Through mixed media works–including wood, textile, clay, and metal–the exhibition challenges the dominant “heritage model” of ethnic folklore by emphasizing that “all tradition is change.”

Roses in a Broken Vase (2024) will be on view as a part of this group show.
