Sons of Norway- District 5 Nordic Legacy Foundation’s Langseth
Masse Moro Fundraising Auction
Rivojen Jørn Magnus Langseth gave presentations at the 2024 Sons of Norway District 5 Convention in Indianapolis. At that time, he gave a bowl to the District that was to be sold to raise money for Masse Moro through the SN D5 Nordic Legacy Foundation. We have set up this online auction is to
raise funds from the sale of the hand-carved bowl with handle by acclaimed Ume Sami artist, Rivojen Jørn Magnus Langseth, for Masse Moro. The artist works to preserve the Ume Sami culture including the language, art, food, and traditions which are offered to visitors in cultural immersion presentations during the summer and ongoing efforts to acknowledge the language and teach it in Norway.
Langseth’s art has been shown throughout Scandinavia and Europe and some other parts of the world. His pieces range from small bowls to large outdoor installations to pieces for churches. To give bidders opportunities to bid on or purchase other Norwegian handicrafts, we have reached out to
some local Stoughton artists and added additional items to the auction. The sales from these items will go back to the artist and are not a part of the Masse Moro fundraiser. Only the sale of the Langseth bowl will go towards Masse Moro.
The auction opens on Sunday, July 12, 7:00 AM CST and closes on Saturday, July 25, at 6:00 PM CST.
Payment by cash or checks at the time of pick up or in advance of shipping.
Pick up is at the Sons of Norway District 5 Convention which is August 2-6, 2026 in Stoughton, Wisconsin or they can arrange for someone to pick it up for them. If the winning bidder needs the items shipped, they are responsible for reimbursing the District for the cost of packaging and shipping. Website link: https://www.32auctions.com/SND5NLFLangseth.
