Lakeville Art Festival
We found ourselves with some open time this weekend and decided to check out the Lakeville Art Festival this morning. We’ve been to many art fairs but this was our first time to this particular one and we thought it was great. They had a great selection of art from artists in Minnesota and connected states. It was setup very nicely on grass instead of walking on blacktop.
It was great that they sectioned a stage with music and food into an entirely adjacent area with a good amount of picnic tables. It wasn’t hard to find a spot to sit a delightful lunch of Pizzeria 201 from Montgomery, MN (we drove there once to have their pizza) followed by some HomeTown Creamery ice cream. We also brought home some Groveland Confections chocolate.
Overall it had a nice and relaxed vibe.
Some artists that caught our eyes:
- Tin Cat Studio
- Amanda Pearson
- Pleasant Street Pottery
- Dan Wiemer
- Mya Austin
- Platypus Builds: We very nearly came home with a super cool lamp made entirely from wood.
- Reiko Uchytil
- Barret Lee
- Wenwen Liao
- Shane Anderson: Very “guy art” but I dug the concept and he had a bison painting that was interesting.
- Tyler Maddaus: His bison painting caught my eye.
- Burly Babe Woodworking
- Noah Sanders: We very nearly came home with one of his fox paintings. It may still happen.
- Ed Lefto: We purchased one of his birdhouses. (the URL is there, but no website)
