about alGOma WILD art escapes
  This "Arts in the Wild" venture is a collaborative undertaking by three women who love art and the wilderness, and want to offer other artists a unique opportunity to share and develop their skills in the spectacular wilderness setting of the Algoma District.  Come and practise your art among the rugged landscapes, pristine lakes, spectacular waterfalls, stately pines and brilliant colours that inspired the Group of Seven.  We are located on Chub and Jobamageeshig Lakes in the Mississagi Valley  on Highway 129 north of Thessalon, Ontario (60 miles west of Sault Ste. Marie)
