LRAC Arts Mentorship Program Student Showcase

Celebrate the creativity and accomplishments of young artists from across the Lake Region Arts Council’s nine-county region at the LRAC Arts Mentorship Program Student Showcase.

Throughout the summer, participating students have worked one-on-one with professional artist mentors to develop their skills, explore their creative voices, and grow as artists. This annual showcase gives students an opportunity to share the work and experiences that grew from those mentorships with their families, friends, and the wider community.

Come experience the next generation of regional artists and enjoy student work spanning visual arts, creative writing, music, theater, and more.

The Hook: Live Storytelling – "Falling"

Thursday, September 17, 2026
Doors Open: 6:00 PM
Stories Begin: 6:30 PM

Experience an evening of unscripted storytelling at The Hook, a live storytelling event inspired by The Moth (heard on NPR) and The Tell in Fargo.

This month's theme, "Falling," invites eight storytellers to share true, personal stories drawn from their own lives. Audience members are welcome to enjoy the performances or put their own name in the hat for a chance to tell a story live.

The evening also features musical guests Joe and Katie Ahlfs, along with headlining storytellers Cara Cody Braun and Lana Suomala from The Fargo Tell.

Storytellers should be prepared to share a true (or mostly true) story in five minutes or less, without notes, props, or costumes. Stories should be respectful and focused on personal experience.
