The concept behind our White House ornaments this year is a simple one: Minnesota nature. Literally. Despite the grand beauty of our lakes and forests, we wanted to focus on the granular detail of things like fallen leaves and feathers—the beautiful natural elements that make up Minnesota’s landscapes. Influenced by traditional Native American craft, each found item is adorned in festive paints and fabrics. Each ornament was designed and assembled by designers at KNOCK and Juxtaposition Arts, a youth-oriented nonprofit visual arts center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, known for community collaborations, workshops and art exhibitions. From all of us, we wish you a happy holiday that inspires you to love the state you live in.
