Virtual Mentorship with Denise Walser-Kolar

For nearly 75 years, the Grand Marais Art Colony has supported the work of artists and writers. We are heading outside the shared studio space to the virtual realm. We invite you to continue in your practice with the support of a mentor, who can provide you with input, accountability, and additional direction or resources.

Mentoring sessions are one-hour in length, tailored to address your aesthetic, professional, and craft questions. Upon registration, students will receive a survey to select a mentor subject and tell us more about their needs.

Denise is available to connect with artists on the following topics:

• Portfolio Review
• Input and guidance on current in-progress work
• Discussion of materials and supplies
