I got to visit the Madeline Island School of the Arts last Saturday with our Wisconsin lake neighbor Betty who grew up on the Island. In fact, the school is based on her great Aunt's farm which made the visit even more fun to see and hear her recollections.
We took our car on the Ferry from Bayfield, Wisconsin over to Madeline Island on a perfect summer's day. The school is not far out of La Pointe in a beautiful pasture. It consists of a collection of newly restored buildings all painted in barn red with white trim. There's the main office, a gathering place for meals and relaxation, a building for classrooms, guest lodging and the farmhouse where the guest artists stay during their workshops. The classes offered range from Plein Air Painting, Writing, Photography, Fiber Arts, Yoga and Wellness which last 5 days. You can check out more information on their website
