Now in its 23rd year, Plein Air Grand Marais is an annual tradition since 2008, bringing outdoor painters to the North Shore of Lake Superior for a week of painting, learning, competition, and camaraderie. Since 2018, the event has been organized by Outdoor Painters of Minnesota and hosted by the Cook County Historical Society’s Johnson Heritage Post Art Gallery. The gallery exhibit will feature work from over 60 artists in the Competition Class, with last year’s winner, Neil Sherman, serving as the juror for the event. Each painter may submit up to four pieces.
Join us at Johnson Heritage Post in Grand Marais for an opening reception, Friday, September 12, from 5 - 7 p.m. This exhibit will run through October 5, 2025.
Gallery Hours: Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

“Lots of Plein Air painters in Grand Marais, Minnesota, this week. Captured this painter on the rocks west of the breakwater and lighthouse this morning. Love the fog at Artist’s Point…”
