Portrait of Norman Carlberg.

Alumni Norman Carlberg will soon be inducted into the Brainerd High School Distinguished Achievement Hall of Fame. This comes posthumously after his passing in 2018 at the age of 90.

Carlberg graduated from Brainerd in 1947, and there he began his artistic journey. He studied art at MCAD, then named the Minneapolis School of Art, in 1950 before enlisting in the U.S. Air Force. Following his discharge in 1954, he continued studying art at MCAD and Yale University’s School of Art. From then on, he had a prolific career, creating renowned sculptures and public works, alongside teaching as a professor at the Rinehart school of Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.

It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, or marital status in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other school-administered programs.
