Poet and prose writer Margot Fortunato Galt will read from her new chapbook, “The Heart Beat of Wings” (a 2017 Red Bird Chapbook winner), drenched in memories of summer, moments of winter awe, and childhood “spills of joy.” As Minnesota poet Margaret Hasse writes, each poem grows larger, “like a small bird that opens its great wings in flight.”

Margot is also the author of “Turning the Feather Around: My Life in Art,” her 1998 biography of George Morrison, Minnesota’s premier Ojibwe artist. Margot spent years as a Minnesota writer-in-the-schools, traveling the state in all weather to inspire young people to write. She has also taught writing at the University of Minnesota, Hamline University, and Metro State. She lives in St. Paul with her librarian husband Fran Galt, and their cat Julia.

With art classes for both young and old, the Grand Marais Art Colony offers a great variety of courses and workshops. Click above for full course listing and details.

The Gunflint Trail Historical Society likes to celebrate the opening of Chik-Wauk Museum and Nature Center that took place on July 4, 2010 every year.

This year on Sunday, July 1 the Gunflint Trail Historical Society will celebrate two new structures that have been added to the Chik-Wauk property.

It took two years, 20+ volunteer members, countless numbers of hours, to create a beautiful timber framed structure that will become Chik-Wauk’s Watercraft Exhibit Building.
In this building there will be various watercraft, motors, and artifacts that will be on display for visitors to get a glimpse of how the earlier residents of the Gunflint Trail traveled the waterways.

The second structure is an Intereptive Cabin Exhibit Building. The cabin will showcase how an earlier cabin on the Gunflint Trail might have looked.

Join us for the celebration on  to include cake and beverages.

Grab a blanket or a lawn chair and get ready to have some outdoor fun with your friends and family! If it is raining the concert will be held inside
