My goal is to support my studio practice as an exhibiting artist in the Arrowhead region. For this project I would like to purchase custom acrylic Dala Horses from Northern Acrylics in Duluth, Minnesota. This product would promote my work in a low-cost product, ultimately creating dialogue around folk art and contemporary painting to a larger audience. I will purchase the Dala Horses at $14.00 and a quantity of 50, and it will 1-2 weeks for the order to be complete. I will then paint and distribute to regional galleries/institutions. After install of my exhibit at the Johnson Heritage post-in July 2019, I will have time to start a new body of work. I estimate to have the Dala horses painted and ready for distribution in 1-3 months.
The 50 Dala Horses were ordered and completed by Northern Acrylic. They were included in my Boreal II exhibit at the Johnson Heritage post-in Grand Marais.
