Margit didn’t experience very many showings of her collected works (and the accompanying publicity), with only one significant exhibition in her lifetime — by popular demand in her small hometown. Being a humble person, she probably would have been uneasy with anything more. Below are some places where Margit’s works (both her paintings and her book) were promoted or publicly displayed.

1971 — in Houston MN

A solo exhibit at the local Community Building in Houston MN.

• “Houston artist displays 155 paintings at show” — Winona Daily News (Aug 9, 1971)
• “Art Show Draws Large Crowd” — Houston County News (Aug 10, 1971)
• TBD — Houston County News (Sept 23, 1971)

1990 — in Decorah IA

An all-summer exhibit at Vesterheim Museum featuring works by Margit, her dad Tarkjel, and her brother Halvor.
