Is it possible the Tour is just over two months away? It is!
We would like to give a special thanks to our sponsors – 47 Degrees Art Gallery & Gift Shop, Cedar Coffee Company, Dream Cloud Coffee Roasters, Russ Kendall’s Smokehouse, & Solglimt: A Lakeshore Bed Breakfast. As always, their support year after year, help makes the Tour a success. Please stop by when you are up the shore this summer or during the tour weekend and thank them with your patronage.
This year we welcome six new artists, including Maria Combs (fiber arts), Karen Kraemer (ceramics), McKenzie Kapsner (jewelry, ceramics, painting), Dan Neff (blown glass), Diana Oestreich (blacksmithing), and Greg Preslicka (painting). We know you will be as excited as we were to view their work.

It’s late May up the Shore and anywhere that’s low and wet is full of sunny Marsh Marigolds. We’ve got our artists lined up & our generous sponsors back, and over the next month you’ll see the website being updated for 2026, our brochure being printed, and our social media posts started. We’re getting excited for September and we hope you are, too!

(Late) March 2026
The North Shore is thawing and the folks at the 20/20 are thinking Fall already! Tour dates are set – Friday, September 25th – Sunday, September 27th.
We’ll post more news as the plans progress. And if you didn’t catch this bit from PBS North about last year’s tour, watch it here.
