GSR Fine Art Festival by Twin Rivers

The GSR Fine Art Festival by Twin Rivers is an annual, free event held in Mankato, the weekend immediately following Thanksgiving. We are Greater Mankato’s only juried art festival dedicated to serving professional artists, authors, and those working towards that goal, by connecting them with the Greater Mankato community.

That's right, we're about community! So bring your kids, meet your friends, and come on in. Walk around, ask the artists about their inspiration, process, studio set-up, and more!. It’s okay not to purchase anything, but we hope you’ll find something you can’t live without. Our artists have everything from a small gift for a friend, to something special that speaks to your heart, and everything in between!

When you shop with an author or artist at the show, you'll be shopping local with a small business owner. You'll be glad to know that GSR does not take a portion of any sales - all sales go directly to the artists.

Beer, wine, and food are available for purchase, and our stage features live musical performances all weekend.
