Gastronomy - Art Quilts

October 4 - January 4, 2026

A traveling collection of 40 contemporary fine art quilts by artists from throughout the US, Canada, Switzerland, and Australia, this juried exhibit presents the finest in fiber arts craftsmanship. According to the Studio Art Quilts Associates, “Gastronomy is the study of the relationship between food and culture, featuring not only the bountiful gifts from nature, but a gift from the human hand. The art of preparing unique, delicate food is a tradition passed from generation to generation, around the world. Combining innovative ingredients, colors, textures, and flavors creates dishes pleasing to both the palette and the eye.” So too have the artists put together unique combinations that will delight and inspire the viewers. From a nearly-photo-quality rendering of a cabbage leaf to an abstract conception of a Cuban bistro, the artists stretch the boundaries of the imagination and challenge the traditional notion of what a quilt is. 

​This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through grants from the Lake Region Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the Arts and Cultural Heritage fund; The Arts Partnership with support from the Cities of Fargo, Moorhead, and West Fargo; the Alex Stern Family Foundation; the Fargo-Moorhead Area Foundation, MN Quilters and F-M Quilters.

Danish Braid Baking Class

with Kate Mudge
April 23, 5-7:30pm
First Lutheran Church kitchen, Battle Lake

A perfect treat for Mother's Day--or anytime you want to wow your family & friends with a bakery-worthy breakfast dessert. In this hands-on class, you'll learn how to make a classic Danish braid from start to finish. We'll use a shortcut lamination method that creates beautiful, buttery layers without the fuss of traditional pastry techniques. You'll mix and knead your own dough, learn how to incorporate butter for flakiness, create delicious fillings, and shape a stunning braid that looks impressive (but is absolutely doable for the home baker!)

You'll choose your own filling from two delicious options: Lemon curd & raspberry OR Lemon cream cheese & blueberry. Each person will leave with a freshly baked Danish braid, warm from the oven, extra dough to take home so you can make another one the next day, and the confidence to recreate this "fancy-looking" yet totally achievable pastry anytime you like. With its sweet cheese filling and buttery, flaky layers, this pastry braid is nearly irresistible---and after this class, you'll be able to make it yourself with ease. Perfect for holidays, brunch gatherings, or just treating people you love.
