Ride with Us
Art in Motion was built to go hand in hand with the Lake Wobegon trail. The 65 mile long paved biking trail is one of the best ways to experience all that central Minnesota has to offer. If you’re on the trail, stop on by. If you’re stopping by, hop on the trail.
Catch a Show
Musicians, poets, comedians, and storytellers turn our stage into a beautiful venue for live entertainment. Come see a show, or better yet make a show happen.
About the owner.
Greg Konsor was born in the small farming town of Holdingford, Minnesota in 1964. Life on a small family farm with a good public-school education set the foundation for many of his pursuits. Greg was active in sports and the Futures Farmers of America program at Holdingford High School. Greg studied Agricultural Economics at North Dakota State University in Fargo, ND. Greg enjoyed playing rugby and being a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity.
After graduating, Greg spent two year in the Peace Corps in Belize, Central America, He spent his time teaching high school classes and assisting the village in rural economic development. From the hard-working lifestyle that living on a family farm , to the lessons learned in the Peace Corps, by his early twenties Greg already developed a special drive. That drive carried him through his working years, spending years as grain merchandiser in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Minnesota. He eventually worked his way into management and spent 18 year working in Omaha, Nebraska.
He retired from his position as Vice President – General Manager of Gavilon in 2016. In his many years of business travel while visiting locations and customers around the world, Greg had the opportunity to be exposed to many cultures. He especially like taking in the art scene wherever available. He knew that he wasn’t meant to be an artist, but he holds immense respect for art and those who create it.
He also developed a passion for bicycling. From the local weekly Taco Ride in Council Bluffs, Iowa, to the cross-Iowa ride of RAGBRAI, to a 1,600-mile seven country Euro-ride in 2018. Greg has always enjoyed biking. Now in his retirement, Greg has decided he wants to give back to his community where it all began and support artists in the best way possible. In his hometown of Holdingford, on the Lake Wobegon trail, Greg has opened Art in Motion /BoHo Cafe, an art gallery, artist workshop and cafe. He hopes that this will support art appreciation and community to central Minnesota. Artists, appreciators, cyclists, locals, and out of towners are all welcome at Art in Motion, and Greg is excited to see you.
Greg would like to thank his family for allowing him to chase this crazy dream.
