About the Grand Marais Art Colony Since 1947 the Art Colony has cultivated a community for the arts on the North Shore. First begun as an eight-week painting intensive through the Minneapolis School of Art (now MCAD), the Art Colony continues to provide a gateway for people to creatively explore and interpret the rugged coast and inland expanse of waterways, forests, and wilderness.

The Art Colony exists to provide services to artists, promote art education, and nurture art in our community by providing an environment for creative excellence. Novice to professional artists will find space to create, mentored guidance, and a supportive atmosphere. Reflect within a pristine landscape and invest in your artistic core â&#x20AC;&#x201C; let the Art Colony be your creative home.

Tour d’Art: Artful Abodes October 3 | Noon | $125 A Grand Marais Art Colony fundraiser

An exclusive home tour, reception, and exhibition highlighting the art of architecture, home design, and functional art. The tour will provide participants with an exclusive opportunity to visit five unique homes in one afternoon. Homeowners will be present to give context to the story of how their home evolved, the architect and/or designer that inspired their imagination, and the art that enhances their living spaces. On display will be architecture and designs by Dale Mulfinger, David Salmela, Richard Olson, and John Howe. The tour culminates in a private exhibition of functional art and reception at the Art Colony. Participants will have the first opportunity to view and buy functional art created by artists from the North Shore. The exhibit will be open to the public October 5 – 26, 2015. These homes are not open to the public so this is a rare opportunity to see the art and properties of some of the North Shore’s most interesting homes. Tickets are limited for this exclusive experience and can be purchased in advance for $125.
