Throughout competition week, the public can explore painters around Cook County as they paint scenery outdoors, such as at Artist’s Point, in various North Shore state parks, on the Superior Hiking Trail, and in downtown Grand Marais. The paintings will then be displayed during exhibit week at the Johnson Heritage Post Art Gallery (JHP) in Grand Marais. (JHP is one of five historic sites that the Cook County Historical Society maintains.)
