North Shore Winery and Last Chance Studio and Gallery are combining art and wine in a delightful way, with works of art from the gallery hanging at the winery tasting room and Tom Christiansen’s sculptures adorning the grounds. The community is invited to North Shore Winery on September 10 for a day of art, music and food.
North Shore Winery (NSW) and Last Chance Studio and Gallery (Last Chance) have announced a new business collaboration to combine wine and art in Lutsen.
A special event will be held during the Grand Marais Art Colony’s Plein Air art day at Lutsen Mountains on Saturday, Sept. 10 from 4 to 7 p.m.
The new venture provides another location for Last Chance artists to display and sell works of art in the winery tasting room and on the surrounding property. Last Chance has installed a rotating display of paintings that reflects the beauty of the North Shore in the tasting room. Large format art sculptures created by sculptor Tom Christiansen have been installed on the winery property.
“We have been busy creating a special space for North Shore visitors and locals to relax and enjoy our wine and ciders,” said Chuck Corliss, NSW owner and winemaker. “We look forward to this special event so our guests can enjoy the ambiance of our tasting room and outside seating areas with the enhancement of these beautiful and sometimes whimsical art installations.”
The September 10 event includes art, music, and food. During the event, a local artist will demonstrate plein air painting. “We are delighted to pair our paintings and sculptures with the beautiful wines and cider created by the North Shore Winery,” said Marcia Hyatt, co-owner of Last Chance Studio and Gallery. “Visitors to the winery are invited to visit our gallery location in downtown Lutsen to see more art pieces.”
