The Artists of Minnesota 2024 Spring Conference was held on May 3, 4 & 5 in Duluth.
Judge and demo artist was Kelly Schamberger, who is an internationally-awarded and renowned fine artist, oil painter, and art instructor creating primarily in the genres of plein air landscape, portraiture, and still life.

Our popular art activity was held on Saturday afternoon, and the resulting artwork was be donated to the Encore!
