We just returned to Minneapolis after a week-long, creative adventure in Ouray, Colorado! For this Light Grey Art Camp, we invited 12 artists to join us in a New Year's trip filled with outdoor adventures, personal 'firsts', snow covered mountains, scenic vistas, and quaint mountain towns!

We were nestled in a cozy cabin in Ridgway, Colorado where we had plenty of space to create artwork, sit by the fire, and view deer and elk out the living room windows - it was a winter wonderland! Throughout the week, we led several fun workshops, beginning-of-the-year brainstorms, mini projects, and board game nights.

Each day, the artists had the opportunity to participate in some really unique winter activities. We went skiing in Telluride, Ice Climbing at the Ouray Ice Park, Ice Skating in Mountain Village, swim in the hot springs, and explore the neighboring ghost towns.
