Edna Wolfe created art from childhood to well into her nineties. She was a founding member of Artists del Norte and served for many years on the boards of Artists del Norte, North Artists Studio Crawl, Artists of Minnesota, and the Anoka County Arts Alliance. In tribute to their dear friend and fellow artist, Artists del Norte has set up the Edna Wolfe Scholarship Fund with a mission to give aspiring artists ages 17 and younger financial aid to take art classes in her memory.
