Featured Artists!
Cathy Raef Dunnigan
I am a native Chicagoan who now calls Sauk Centre home. As a landscape artist working in acrylic, oil, and color pencil, I like to bring people to a specific place and time. My husband and I are avid travelers and photographers. These photos serve as references for much of my work. When possible, I take time for plein aire painting or drawing. My award-winning work has been displayed in galleries in Minnesota and Illinois and I have been featured in Color Pencil Magazine. My art is owned by collectors in Minnesota, Illinois, Florida, Missouri, Wisconsin, California, and New Mexico. I serve as the member liaison to the board for the 510 Art Lab in Sauk Centre and am a member of the Alexandria Art Guild.

Emily Wolf
I create to heal, to process, to think, and even to not think. I give my mind time to quiet while my hands create. My subconscious is given the opportunity to speak with images, shapes, and textures. My clay becomes my expression of the deep connection of Earth and its beauty. Pottery lends itself to a deeper experience of pattern, texture, weight, and color. A perfect piece speaks to multiple senses and reaches the visitor with the expressive impressions of nature. A mug is more than a vessel, it is a chance for a calming texture, a view reminiscent of waves lapping the shore, a warm cuddle, or a handle that feels like it belongs only to you.

Olivia Hoppe
I use a mix of ink and acrylic on a variety of natural materials. Anything from birch bark, gourds, wood, to cattle bones. I also make birch bark crafts, wooden crayons, deer horn buttons, and leather/fur purses. I like to use as many natural materials as I can.

Roger Reinardy
Local artist Roger Reinardy has long envisioned ways to “Artify” Sauk Centre, having his eye set on the Band Shell for nearly ten years before the mural became a reality. He designs the murals and provides the know-how while being willing to work along side anyone wanting to join efforts. He also creates pottery and will be offering some of his woodworking endeavors.
Laurie Holman
I draw from my skills, old and new, as a macrame artist. I was introduced to the craft in the mid 1970's and rediscovered my love for it 5 years ago. I enjoy intricately weaving and knotting fibers to create stunning and intricate designs, blending creativity with skill to craft unique and beautiful pieces of decor and wearable art.

Jen Hansmann
I believe in making old new again - most everything I make is from old materials. Cabinet doors into signs, old clothing into headbands, scrap wood into shelf decor. So much fun!
Jennifer Manning
I love wrapping gemstones with intent to bring my customers joy. First task is to curate a huge variety of stones of different shapes and sizes. Then listen to how the stone wants me to wrap it. Then wrap the stone in my simplistic style to enhance and compliment the stone. The stone is my focal point. Each piece is unique and wrapped from my heart.

Megan Bryan - Happie Hippie Design
I frequently get the compliment that my booth is warm and inviting, and everyone admires my products, use of colors and choice of fabrics. I treat people respectfully and actively engage with the people regardless of whether they buy something or not. As an arts lover myself, I understand the importance of curating a memorable selection and adding to a positive festival experience. Sustainability and being environmentally conscious is important to me, whether it’s by using alternatives to plastic bags, reusing shipping supplies, recycling and leaving my space cleaner than when I found it.

Danielle Laine-Patton
As an artist it is hard to pin down one type of style I love. My art changes with my moods and my inspiration with my dreams and stories. Some days I'm anxious and some days happy. You can see it in the colors of the photograph, and the strokes of my brush on the canvas. Growing up I was inspired by the creativity and amazing imagination of Salvador Dali, and the beautiful colors and strokes of Georgia O'Keeffe. I am amazed at the talent and colors of street art and love amazing portrait style of Annie Leibovitz photography. So here I am smack dab in the middle of all that, trying to get my mangled emotions and own creative process down as it comes to me. When I have a spare moment!
