The National Loon Center
In the heart of Crosslake, Minnesota, the National Loon Center will be a national destination for nature-lovers and conservationists.
Call for Artists
The National Loon Center invites artists to submit proposals for a site-specific art installation in the entry vestibule of its upcoming state-of-the-art facility, scheduled to open in early 2027. This installation should reflect the Center’s mission to protect loon habitats and freshwater ecosystems, providing an immersive experience that educates and inspires visitors about the importance of loons and lake conservation. The chosen artist’s work will become a permanent feature, welcoming guests into a space dedicated to conservation, education, and community involvement. Learn more at the link below:
