Winter Plein Air Painting Exhibit


  • JHP Art Gallery 115 W. Wisconsin Street Grand Marais, MN 55604 United States (map)

Join the JHP Art Gallery for the annual Winter Plein Air painting exhibit.

Winter Plein Air is an annual painting retreat at YMCA Camp Menogyn, a wilderness camp with lodge and cabins located a half-mile walk/ski/snowshoe across Bearskin Lake at the entrance to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW).

WPA is not a competition. It is a painting expedition to a wilderness camp to spend 5 days painting the beauty of the BWCAW and enjoying the camaraderie of other painters. At the end, paintings from the retreat may be displayed in a special February exhibit at Johnson Heritage Post Art Gallery in Grand Marais. 2020 will be the 11th annual retreat.
