Events

The Grand Marais Art Colony exists to provide services to artists, promote art education, and nurture art in our community by providing an environment of creative excellence.

Since 1947, the Art Colony has offered a creative retreat for the novice to professional artist to learn from renowned instructors, receive mentored guidance, and engage in critical artistic dialogue within a supportive atmosphere. Artists develop work and find support in a variety of ways, including through artist-in-residencies, classes, conferences, and access to the Art Colony’s professional vstudios (pottery, glass, jewelry, print & two-dimensional).

The Art Colony also hosts several annual events for artists and art appreciators alike to participate in, including the Grand Marais Arts vFestival, Plein Air Grand Marais, and Tour d’Art, a home tour fundraiser.

Let the Art Colony be your pathway to exploration and inspiration within a pristine landscape, uninterrupted by the bustle of daily life.
