Join us for a breath taking view of the Great North. We are excited to showcase the paintings of nine artists who visit, and record the fun of Northern Michigan. The people of Indiana head north when warm weather comes back to us, enjoying the long days and fun nights of adventure northern Michigan has to offer. It is a great place to visit and is an Indiana tradition. Come meet the artist and share your stories, and if you know any good places to paint, we want to hear about it. Beautiful coastline and dunes are just minutes from rolling hills. Come visit the show and let us take you to the Great North.
Participating Artists:
Steve Smith, Lynn Dunbar, Troy Kilgore, Jerry Smith, Andrea Bojrab, Ray Hassard, Mary Ann Davis, James Burgess, Roy Boswell
Open November 1-24: Wednesdays and Saturdays 11 a.m. – 2 p.m.
