Theresa Charpentier was selling her glass creations and jewelry pendants at the 17th Annual Eagan Art Festival on Saturday and Sunday at the Eagan Festival Grounds. Crowds came to visit the 100 artists' stands filled with woodworks, jewelry, photography, paintings, clothing, rugs and much more. Food options and free kid art activities were also available. 
Paul Imholte, a hammered dulcimer musician from St. Cloud, was playing his 74 stringed instrument for the art crowd.
Do you like those cooper, metal artworks?
Check out these colorful quilted pieces!
We found 2 metal yard ornaments which we "needed"...
a very cool art show,i cant imagine how many things i can buy,better to go without valet
ReplyDeleteLooks like something I'd enjoy. C'est fun! Usually, I look for stationary/ artsy greeting cards... something small and USEFUL because it's so easy to be tempted to buy a yard ornament. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat reporting! Thanks for the update on Eagan.
Bonne journee!
In addition to farmers markets, art fairs are one of the pluses of summer. Now, if only we could get the weather to cooperate...get warm and stay warm!
