Welcome to Maple Grove Arts Center’s Grove Gallery. Our aim is to host high end local handmade art gifts for everyone. We will host a wide variety of mediums that will revolve and change out regularly.

OPEN HOURS:

The Gallery will be open to the public for you to come shop whenever we have volunteers to open the space. Please see the home page for this week’s Gallery Hours.

Below is a small selection of what we currently have available. The selection changes constantly, so this is just a sample of what may be available at any given time.


INTERESTED IN DISPLAYING YOUR ART IN THE GALLERY?

If you are an artist thinking about placing some of your work with us, please contact Barry Dyar, our Grove Gallery Director, to see if your work is a fit.

There are some basic requirements for exhibiting and we need all of these to be met, before taking your art into our space.

  • Art must be handmade by you - we do not accept third-party or pre-purchased pieces.

  • Artists will need a current advocacy, currently $50 per annum, and this could be purchased here.

  • Artists are required to volunteer at the Maple Grove Arts Center at least once a month for a 3-hour period. You can sign up here for your slot/s. Just pick the form for each month and sign yourself into a time frame.

  • Item prices need to be a minimum of $20.

  • We require a W-9 for taxes.

If this all works for you and we accept your work, please download this form, complete it, and bring it into the Center with your first approved artworks and meet Barry to install. You will also be given an identifying number to add to your price labels.

DANIELLE SUPER

I am a Freelance Mixed Media Artist from the Twin Cities, MN.  

In 2011, I graduated from Crown College with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication, then earned my Travel Certificate at The Travel Academy in Eagan, MN and was hired as a Flight Attendant for American Airlines, based in New York City. A few years later I moved back to the Twin Cities to be near family, friends and the unique cultural diversity here. I currently work as the Communications Manager for the Heart of the City Music Factory in Anoka. 

I grew up surrounded by a family of musicians and artists that had a strong connection with nature, immersion in a variety of cultures, and significant emphasis on the aesthetic value of life. As I have grown as an artist, acrylics, textiles, and free-association in art have brought the greatest amount of joy and healing in my life.


LISE SPENCE-PARSONS

I'm the designer and creator behind Lottie's Trinkets, a small independent jewelry business fueled by my passion for design and love for craftsmanship. Originally from the UK, I’ve been designing jewelry since 2005, drawn to the joy of creating unique pieces that become treasured keepsakes for years to come.

At Lottie's Trinkets, I focus on crafting beautiful, high-quality accessories that are both stylish and affordable. Whether it's semi-precious stones, high-end European crystals, or freshwater pearls, every piece is thoughtfully designed to bring elegance and individuality to the wearer. You can find my jewelry online and at art fairs.

Beyond jewelry, I’m also a published author and an amateur watercolor artist. I have the privilege of serving as the President and Treasurer of the Maple Grove Arts Center, where I actively support the local arts community.

I invite you to explore my collection—each piece is designed with care, creativity, and a touch of artistry.

My designs “pop” into my head at the most interesting times!  I love to create!   We have lived in Maple Grove, MN for 30 years.  I taught macramé in the 70’s, sowhen I started designing my jewelry, I decided to incorporate macramé in my designs.  I love to use different mediums in my designs, leather, nylon cord, satin cord, silk cord, and ribbon.

I have purchased many of my beads when traveling.
