There are a limited number of tickets still available for the Grand Marais Art Colony’s Tour d’Art: The Home Collection, an exclusive art and home tour fundraiser on Saturday, September 28.
Amy Demmer, director of the Grand Marais Art Colony, notes that this is a rare opportunity to view some of the North Shore’s most impressive art collections and architecture and includes a look at a home designed by the late Bruce Abrahamson, an award-winning architect, as well as the home of the late Paul Granlund, the sculptor whose work The Swimmers adorns the Johnson Heritage Post lawn.
A third home, owned by Joan Drury, features artistically designed elements by regional artists woven into every facet of the house. The fourth home has a collection so vast and so eclectic that the homeowners rotate what is displayed. This retired art history and architecture professor has a phenomenal collection of rare prints, some dating back to the 15th century.
The tour culminates at the Art Colony with a reception, a lecture with the director of the Tweed Art Museum of the University of Minnesota-Duluth and special exhibit curated by acclaimed artist Hazel Belvo.
Limited tickets are available at $125 per person. Reserve your spot in advance by contacting the Art Colony at 218-387- 2737 or info@grandmaraisartcolony.org.
