Applications for the 33rd Annual Grand Marais Arts Festival are now open.

Artists of all mediums are invited to submit quality, original artwork for this juried art fair. The Grand Marais Arts Festival is a microcosm of the dynamic Midwest art scene. Nestled between the horizon line of Lake Superior and the wilderness of boreal forests and serene lakes, the Festival draws over 8,000 visitors. The Festival will return again this year to the downtown corridor along Lake Superior.
