Seven prominent Michigan artists and teachers will lead students in three-day art workshops held simultaneously in beautiful Alcona County in northeast Michigan. This retreat offers not only the teachers’ instruction, but also a chance to make new creative friends among the participants and the opportunity to celebrate the end of summer with a nearby mini-vacation.
The setting is pure Up North: a lakeside lodge with views of the forest, deer and other wildlife wandering by, a quiet and calm atmosphere perfect for creative work.
Each workshop runs for five sessions, two 3-hour sessions on both Friday and Saturday, and a final 4-hour session on Sunday morning.
Other events during the weekend include the opening wine, beer and hors d’ oeuvres party on Thursday night, Friday and Saturday night entertainment, and a farewell lakeside cookout on Sunday afternoon before it’s time to head home and into autumn.
This event is sponsored by Inspiration Alcona, which is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, the Michigan Humanities Council and the Community Foundation of Northeast Michigan.
