Tom Maakestad – Finding the Balance

Groveland Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Finding the Balance, an exhibition of new work by Minnesota artist, Tom Maakestad. In March of this year, Maakestad received an Artist Initiative Grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board. In his grant proposal, Maakestad wrestled with the changing models of farming and their impact on the environment. Raised in rural Northfield in a family of artists among a community of farmers, Maakestad has worked to reconcile scenes from his idyllic farm upbringing with the mass production farming more present today.
