Biophilia: Sacred inner and outer landscapes exhibit




What is so special about the North Shore of Lake Superior?

Over 60 artists examine how its rocky shores and glistening lakes nurture their souls in an upcoming spring theme exhibit at the Grand Marais Art Colony, April 10-24, daily 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibit captures why the North Shore is a powerful landscape as artists explore the intersection between the North Shore environment and the inner spiritual terrain in the media of their choice.

The opening reception at 12:30 p.m. April 10 includes a musical and spoken word performance by award-winning poet and essayist Gary Holthaus and internationally acclaimed musician Lauren Pelon titled, The Story of Music, Stories from Home. This program offers unique perceptions of the natural world while celebrating a sense of place, community and home.

The exhibit is curated by the Grand Marais Art Colony and Spirit of the Wilderness Episcopal Church, an unusual annual collaboration dedicated to using art to express the intangible.
