Artist of the Month: Kristin Johnson
Establishing and cultivating relationships with local makers and creatives is one way we invest in our community. The Artist of the Month Contest serves as inspiration, challenging them to keep creating and growing.
Each year, exhibitors in our Arts and Crafts Fair participate in the Artist of the Month contest. Twelve winners are chosen for their uniqueness, creativity, presentation, individual art form, and excellence of their craft.
In addition to receiving special recognition for their achievement, their works are displayed and available for purchase in the Museum for their honored month.
Come support local artist of the month: Meet the July Artist of the Month – Kristin Johnson of Hoxie. Eighteen years ago, while teaching art in Michigan, Kristin discovered the incredible potential of gourds—and she’s been in a “gourd mood” ever since! From their unique shapes to their endless creative possibilities, gourds have become her favorite canvas for expressing both artistry and faith.
