The Art Spotlight: January 2017 column by Breana Roy features both well-known and emerging artists along the entire North Shore, ranging from Duluth to Nipigon.
A Fresh Start

And while many of us tend to break our resolutions (I plead guilty), something you can always depend on is a plethora of new artwork, which can be found at numerous galleries and gift shops along the Shore.

Look closely and you’ll see that under all that ice is a ship. In mid-December, Christian Dalbec captured this photo of the Indiana Harbor arriving in Two Harbors Agate Bay just before sunset. “It was loaded down with ice built up from a wavy journey across Lake Superior for their cargo of taconite pellets,” said Dalbec.
