About the Event

Repurpose. Reuse. Recycle. German Russian immigrants were already applying today’s sustainability principles to crafting in the 1800s. These homesteaders decorated with handcrafted textiles, embroidery, woodcarving, and ironwork.

Many early folk art pieces are lost, but the traditions, trades, and skills embodied by German Russian immigrants continue to thrive. Located in the North Dakota Artists Gallery, this free exhibition features past and current folk art and metalwork from Logan, McIntosh, and Emmons counties, and the State Historical Society of North Dakota collections.

The North Dakota Artists Gallery highlights artworks by regional artists and craftspeople on an annual rotation.

This exhibit will close Sept. 30, 2025.
