How Art in the Barn makes Spring all the better

You know the seasons must have changed once again, as one of the most unique art shows of the spring kicks off this Friday and Saturday. Dubbed “Art in the Barn,” a team of local artists has transformed a simple rural barn into a breathtaking display of artwork, jewelry, clothing, furniture, and more.

Artist Lorie Merfeld-Batson is the main organizer of the event (and owner of the barn) and will have her oil, watercolor, and pastel works on display.

Artist Terri Wiebke will also be offering oil paintings and pastels.

Uniquely, Angela Camarillo and Laura Varone, known locally as the “Flip Sisters,” have curated wood designs, upcycled custom furniture, and home decor.

Joining the event is Linda Ouellette, who will showcase her stunning and unique necklaces, bracelets, and earrings, crafted from a variety of stones, some wrapped in sterling silver and copper wire, featuring a wide range of colors and shapes, including onyx, geodes, and turquoise.

The event runs for three days from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, June 6, through Sunday, June 8. The event takes place in beautiful northeastern Custer County at 3820 County Road 271. Just head east of town on Highway 96 and look for the signs at the top of the pass near Bear Basin.
