History

Established in 1996.

​In 1973, founder MaryAnn Jindra opened her first gallery in Stillwater, Minnesota. In 1996, MaryAnn and her husband, John, opened the Up North Gallery in Lindstrom, Minnesota. They later added the historic Gustaf name to honor the history of Gustaf Anderson, a successful Swedish immigrant and gold speculator who settled in Lindstrom after years of farming nearby. ​ MaryAnn Jindra retired in October of 2019, leaving the gallery in the trusted hands of new owner Jana Lensing. The transition of ownership has been smooth and our long-time clients have felt very comfortable working with Jana. Today, Jana and her team of trusted framing professionals and gallery representatives strive to both honor the history of the company while looking toward the future. In 2021, Gustaf's Up North Gallery underwent many physical updates as well as a name change to Glädje. Glädje (pronounced GLADE-yeh) is the Swedish noun for delight.

Meet the Business Owner: Jana L.

I started my career in the 1990's studying the arts at Bethel University in Saint Paul, Minnesota. In the 2010's, I started working under MaryAnn Jindra as the gallery director at Gustaf's Up North Gallery. In October 2019, I purchased the gallery from MaryAnn so she could retire. My first two years as the owner of this gallery have been marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, but I am thrilled to say my team helped me push through; we renovated the space, built a new website, and rebranded to Glädje! Glädje is a regional, professional, fine art gallery located in Lindstrom, Minnesota. We are known for our art, Scandinavian gifts, high-quality home décor, and in-house custom framing. My passion for arts education and community has driven me from the beginning. We offer monthly art classes and community events throughout the year so that everyone in our community has a welcoming space to explore their creativity! Say hello next time you're here - I'd be delighted to meet you!
