Resting on the edge of the wilderness and Lake Superior is the Grand Marais Art Colony, Minnesota’s oldest artist colony. For over 65 years, the Grand Marais Art Colony has cultivated a relationship between outdoor inspiration and artistic pursuit. Founded as the Outdoor School of Painting, a project of the Minneapolis School of Art and Design (MCAD), the Art Colony has grown to offer a sanctuary for the creative spirit, allowing both beginners and professional artists to seek guidance, instruction and space to grow. The Art Colony’s facilities include Visual Arts, Clay, Glass and Printmaking Studios, in which we offer over 100 classes throughout the year in a variety of media, organize numerous events and exhibits, and provide studio access to artists. Everyone can be involved!

This $75 Gift Card can be used for a unique art experience – take a class, use studio space, or purchase art.
