Fargo’s Rosemaling Tradition Lives On | Fargo News

In Fargo, a passionate group called the Kringen Rosemalers is reviving a centuries-old Norwegian tradition—rosemaling, the art of painting intricate floral designs on wood. Gathering every Wednesday at the Sons of Norway lodge, they transform everything from violins to wooden shoes with vibrant, hand-painted patterns. With 35-40 members rotating through the year, the core group remains devoted, led by longtime member Alan Pearson, who’s been painting for over two decades after starting as a hobby. They meet for lunch and then dive into their craft, welcoming curious newcomers to join this living cultural legacy.
