 With many people traveling during the summer months, it's a great opportunity to reach a broader audience when selling local goods. A group of Niswa artists are hosting an art show to display their talents and sell their work. Every July, the Lakes Area Art Show holds the event at Journey Church in Niswa. Group members have come and gone over the last 20 years, but this year, six artists are selling their pieces and speaking to the public about their passions. I'm inspired by the lakes, you know, and I think a lot of people here are, you know, the northern Minnesota, so a lot of my work is based on scenes from here. We had a place on Lake Shamanah for a while, and that's, you know, not far south of here. And so I picked up a lot of ideas for subjects, for paintings there. The beauty of northern Minnesota is captured in works of art, including water coloring, photography, and even hand-blown glass. The art show will continue to run through Friday from 10 until 5.
