Resting on the edge of the wilderness and Lake Superior is the <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Marais</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Colony</strong>, Minnesota’s longest-lived artist colony. For<br />
over 65 years, the <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Marais</strong> <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Colony</strong> has cultivated a relationship between outdoor inspiration and artistic pursuit. Founded as<br />
the Outdoor School of Painting, a project of the Minneapolis School of <strong>Art</strong> (MCAD), the <strong>Art</strong> <strong>Colony</strong> has grown to offer a sanctuary<br />
for the creative spirit allowing both emerging and professional artists to seek guidance, instruction and space to grow.<br />

Cook County is made up of a series of small towns, each with a unique personality, linked together by the ancient Sawtooth<br />
Mountains, the pristine Boundary Waters Wilderness and the rugged shores of Lake Superior. For generations, visitors have flocked<br />
to this area to savor its grandeur and explore the surrounding boreal forest. At the center of Cook County is <strong>Grand</strong> <strong>Marais</strong>, a quaint<br />
harbor arts village where you will find eclectic galleries and shops, restaurants and a wide array of accommodations to suit your needs.<br />
Fall in love with small-town hospitality, be inspired by the landscape and develop a life-long relationship with the north shore.<br />
