"When you purchase from our artisans, you cross the bridge between my two homes—a bridge that has taken over a decade to build. It is my privilege to give back to the people of Boyacá, Colombia who have given me the greatest experience of my life."

Learn more about the story and vision of Sumercé Artisans. We are open today from 12pm to 7pm at 52 East Division Street in downtown Fond du Lac.

Current Progress: 58% funded.

I hope everyone back home had a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by loved ones. Just over a week ago, I arrived in Colombia, and the transition has been remarkably smooth. Earlier this year, I spent three months in Sogamoso, Boyacá, searching for artisans to collaborate with for my organization Sumercé Artisans. And now, it has been a truly enriching experience to share my plans for the gallery with each artisan over a cup of coffee.

I consider myself fortunate to collaborate with such a talented group of individuals. I believe that this gallery, with its focus on Colombian artists in the department of Boyacá, will not only be distinctive to my hometown of Fond du Lac but to the entire state of Wisconsin and perhaps even the country.

My focus has been divided between preparing the store for the holidays and nurturing the relationships established earlier this year. While being away from the gallery isn't ideal at this crucial time, I'm grateful for the incredible support from family and friends who have helped maintain the space in my absence.

Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday, and I find myself reflecting on all the wonderful people that support our downtown businesses in Fond du Lac. Even though I'll miss seeing you in person tomorrow, your support through this campaign means the world to me, and I'm grateful for every contribution, no matter the size.

Next week, I will introduce some new faces to Sumercé Artisans. Thank you for your continued support.

This week, I received the keys to the Dánlann Gallery. As I bring in the products I currently have in stock, I wanted to take a moment to thank the following individuals for supporting my Kickstarter campaign for Sumercé Artisans. It means everything to me to have such a wonderful start to my campaign from people I consider to be the pillars of the Fond du Lac community. Thank you so much.

• Mercedes Tucker
• Christine Peck
• Josh Gerner
• Alex Berg
• Joshua Cowles
• Angie

At this time, I am requesting a Call for Artists. In less than two weeks, I will return to Colombia to further my work with my artisans and connect with new ones to bring you high-quality creations. The goal is to have the storefront prepared before my departure on November 15th, with a tentative opening date of December 15, just three days after I return.

Over the past decade, my travels have taken me to more than 25 countries, where I've had the privilege of connecting with countless artists and creators. I've come to realize that every artist, every creator I've met, carries a unique and inspiring story, and our paths have intertwined to create something special.

If you are a creator, locally or internationally, let’s collaborate together. I want to share our story.

To learn more about Sumercé Artisans and support our initiatives, please consider making a donation to our Kickstarter campaign. Your contributions will greatly assist with the initial costs of establishing a local business. Thank you for your support!
