Vesterheim's Folk-Art Benefit Auction is underway

The auction has over 30 pieces of one-of-a-kind folk-art by artists working in the Norwegian tradition.

Proceeds from the auction will benefit Vesterheim's Folk Art School, which has provided classes since 1967 in fiber arts, woodworking, painting, cooking, jewelry, blacksmithing, knifemaking, and more. At the Folk Art School, students and instructors create a community of learning and experience the joy of making something by hand.
