The Setting
Experience the beauty of Autumn in Algoma, as immortalized by the Group of Seven.  Sparkling lakes and rivers, granite cliffs, towering pines and the brilliant fall colours of the the maples, birches, and oaks await you.  Your Algoma Autumn Art Escape includes four days of plein air workshops and activities in the spectacular Mississagi Valley and Penokean hills in the eastern Algoma district of Northern Ontario, Canada.  Hike to an unparalleled scenic lookout or set up your easel at a hidden woodland waterfall.  Enjoy delicious communal meals served al fresco in the fresh autumn air, or by the stone fireplace in a beautiful log studio.  After a full day of workshops and exploration, sleep soundly in  your comfortable lakeside cottage, and watch the early mist rise over the lake as you enjoy your morning coffee.
