ARTIST OPPORTUNITIES
At Otter Cove, we believe art is essential to childhood and to community life. Creative expression helps children explore, imagine, and make sense of the world around them, while also strengthening the bonds that weave a community together. Our museum itself is part of this community tapestry: A labor of love that has grown with the support of local artists. From the murals that celebrate the beauty of rural Otter Tail County to the macramé busy-board in our Comfort Room, art shapes the way families experience our space. We are proud to partner with artists whose talents inspire wonder, spark joy, and deepen our community’s shared story.
