Revering Rock: Painting Geology
-planting seeds of creativity-

Grand Marais Art Colony
Grand Marais, MN

Creative Immersion Retreat

This five-day workshop explores the texture, color and inherent traits of rock and stone. Inspired by local land, students will gain a deeper understanding of geological surfaces and the symbolism surrounding rocks and stones.

The workshop offers the opportunity to develop interpretive skills while using watercolor to create a series of studies. The class will work both indoors and out, spend time with a local ecologist to learn about the geology of the region, and visit the Grand Portage National Monument

About Grand Marais Art Colony

July 18-22, 2022

Grand Marais, Minnesota

Beloved by Minnesotans, Grand Marais is on the north shore of the deep and dramatic Lake Superior. It is a spot of beauty and culture far from the busyness of a big city. It is it's own kind of gem.

"Artsy and quirky, the North Shore harbor village of Grand Marais welcomes creatives, families and adventure-seekers alike. The accolades almost speak for themselves. Grand Marais has been named America’s Coolest Small Town (Budget Travel Magazine), Top 10 Beach Getaways (Outside Magazine), and Next Great Adventure Town (National Geographic Adventure Magazine). In Grand Marais you’ll meet some of the most friendly, creative and talented people – both visitors and locals alike."

More on Grand Marais, MN
Rock is often referenced for grounding or as foundation. Stones are smaller and more easily moved. Both are gems of the earth. Inspired by local land, we will create gems (paintings) of our own.
