There are a number of CMW artists who also belong to Artists of Minnesota
www.artistsofminnesota.org. After a few cancellations due to Covid, AOM members were able to attend their 2022 Spring Show, “Art By The River”, at the Park Event Center in St. Cloud, May 20-22.
For the Spring Show, members are able to submit two pieces of artwork to be judged in various categories and levels of experience. Throughout the week-end there are also three artist demos to attend, an art activity or a local tour, meals and gatherings, and a gallery that is viewed by artists, the public, and of course the Judge. This year the Judge and Demo Artist was Scott Lloyd Anderson www.scottlloydanderson.com. The other demo artists were Pamela Linter www.patlintner.com and Duane Barnhart www.duane-barnhart.com. Attached is a gallery of CMW artists that were presented with awards. Consider joining this group!
