‘Echoes’ of Nordic art and tradition across the U.S. 

Across the Upper Midwest, echoes of Nordic tradition are being reshaped by modern hands. Nordic Echoes — Tradition in Contemporary Art gathers blacksmiths, weavers, and woodworkers whose roots stretch back to Scandinavia but whose voices belong unmistakably to this region. Curator Sally Yerkovich’s traveling exhibition bridges Duluth and Manhattan, Brookings and Minneapolis — revealing how heritage survives not by standing still, but by evolving. Each piece tells a story of lineage, creativity, and the quiet persistence of craft. Learn more about the exhibit from Alex V. Cipolle with MPR; it will be visiting North Dakota in 2027.
