Brilliant blue skies were the perfect backdrop for the Grand Marais Arts Festival on July 9-10. Festival goers enjoyed the sunshine and the opportunity to create art at the Community Paint-By-Number booth. When finished, the painting will be installed on the northern wall of Birchbark Books in Grand Marais.
