North Artists Studio Crawl

For over 20 years, artists of the North Metro suburbs in Anoka County, Minnesota have opened their studios in the early spring, welcoming visitors to come in, look around and experience the spaces where they create. The North Artists Studio Crawl, a self guided driving tour of a wide variety of artists, work spaces, brings you into the worlds of potters, painters, jewelers, and fine craft artists. Along with a core group of Hosting Artists, the crawl presents a group of artists, each selected and welcomed into the group by one or more of our Hosts.
You might meet long-time (and original) member of the Group, silversmith and fine jeweler, Gary Rex Erickson at Studio J in East Bethel. Ask him about “Fordite.” Or have a chat at Studio C in Nowthen, with internationally recognized glass artist Robinson Scott and his two protégé artists, Oliver McMullen and Riley McMullen, who just happen to be his grandsons. Visit the Rum River Art Center to see Anoka’s community art center.
You might see demonstrations at some stops, and you can be sure that you’ll get a chance to chat with the artists, ask lots of questions, and maybe find a treasure or two to buy and take home. Admission to each and every studio is free, so hop in the car, come out and explore!
