Juror Workshop on Saturday, September 13, 2025


Workshop with Neil Sherman 

Time: 9am-2pm, includes lunch 
Cost: $100
Location: TBA


This workshop will offer hands-on, individualized instruction with Neil Sherman - winner of the 2024 PAGM Best Body of Work grand prize and nationally acclaimed plein air painter of the northern wilds. Neil has ventured far into the BWCAW, by canoe and on skis, to capture the unique qualities of sky, water, and boreal forest in all seasons. His studied approach to composition, value, and chroma offers an opportunity for students to gain greater understanding and increase problem-solving skills when confronting all of Nature's complexity with a paintbrush.
