FREE AND OPEN TO EVERYONE!
The Nature Arts Village is an artist-led, vibrant space for you to create and experience art by and with talented local artists. You'll find a wide variety of art, including art for kids with a special emphasis on connecting nature with art. Though the Nature Arts Village will be associated with the Nature Rocks Concert for Conservation, it will be accessible to everyone – not just people who buy concert tickets.​

ARTISTS CALL
We are looking for Minnesota-based artists who create and sell original visual artwork to apply for FREE booth space. Ten artists will be selected by the Nature Art Village Council to receive a FREE BOOTH SPACE at the event. Artists who are not selected can participate by purchasing a booth for $250 (space is limited). Mass produced and AI-generated artwork will not be considered, nor artisans creating consumable home goods, accessories, or personal care products.
Artist support and leadership for this event is provided by Long Lake Conservation Center Naturalist and artist Julia Kuhns, Fortunato from Fortunato Art Studio and Gallery, and Shanai Matteson from Fire in the Village.

This activity is made possible in part by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Arrowhead Regional Arts Council, thanks to appropriations from Minnesota State Legislature’s General Fund.
