Welcome to Art Along the Lake: Fall Studio Tour
September 27 - October 6, 2024
10am-5pm Daily
Art Along the Lake is a ten-day art tour along Minnesota’s north shore of Lake Superior during peak fall colors. From Tofte to Grand Portage to the Gunflint Trail, this event offers the unique opportunity to meet local artists in their home studios and gain insights into their creative processes. Whether you're revisiting a favorite gallery or meeting an artist for the first time, there's always something new to discover and beautiful scenery to enjoy along the way! Many locations showcase guest artists' work, and all venues are open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This newsletter will introduce you to our amazing list of participating artists and galleries. This year we have 29 stops on the tour, including 9 galleries and 20 artist studios. While many of the stops are in or near Grand Marais, we have stops as far west as Tofte (Wifman Weaving), as far north as the Gunflint Trail (Nancy Hemstad Seaton), and as far east as Grand Portage (Ningii Ozhitoomin). Whichever direction you go, you are guaranteed to find incredible local art and beautiful fall scenery! And if you can’t make the tour this year, we will make sure to include links to the artists’ and galleries’ websites so you can support and enjoy them from afar.
If you are making the trip this fall, we highly recommend booking your lodging early. You can find comprehensive lodging information at https://www.visitcookcounty.com/lodging/.
Lastly, if you haven’t heard, we are now mailing our Studio and Gallery Guide directly to your door! Enter your mailing address on our website to receive a free copy.
