Sons of Norway – Mandt Lodge welcomes the public to “An Evening with Bill Amundson Yard Art, Lawn Signs, and the Roadside Folk Art Tradition!” on Wednesday, August 10, at 7:00 PM. The Lodge is located at 317 South Page Street in Stoughton, Wisconsin. Bill Amundson has been fascinated by Yard Art and Roadside Creations since he was a small child. This presentation will highlight some of his discoveries from over 40 years of travel as well as examples unique to Wisconsin and the Norwegian/American community. He will also explain his transition to a practicing yard artist himself, highlighting the over 2700 faux rosemaled signs he’s created since the onset of the covid pandemic. There may also be music. Bill Amundson is a Stoughton native who spent 35 years of his life in Colorado as a practicing artist, with over 50 solo shows throughout the United States and Canada. He’s received numerous awards, including the DamKey award from the Denver Art Museum for his contribution to the arts in the state of Colorado. He also worked in radio, where he was designated “Best DJ in Denver” in 1991 and 1993 by Westword, the Denver alternative weekly newspaper. Refreshments will be served!
