MNPAiR Artist Video Isfeld/Sterner

Minnesota Parks Artists in Residency program features and successes were highlighted in a video about the program and their experiences by Tamara Isfeld and John Sterner.  Isfeld and Sterner were the Artists in Residence for both Granite Falls Memorial Park and Douglas County Lake Brophy Park.

The pair started their programming in the late fall of 2024 and ran through fall of 2025.  They hosted several art sessions for people to create their own artwork as well as to participate and view the creation of pieces of art for each of the parks.  The programs brought art to people who were at the locations to recreation in the outdoors; brought the outdoors and highlighted features of the park to those at the park for the artists' workshops; and created lasting artwork that compliments the environment to the park for people to enjoy going forward.

Isfeld and Sterner created a successful pairing of art and parks and left a great legacy to the park and the program.  It sounds like they and their students and helpers had fun along the journey.
