Join Painter Dylan Valade, our Artist-in-Residence, for "The Palette of Memory: Memorize Anything at the Grand Hotel�."
In this interactive painting demonstration and lecture Valade will explore the ancient mnemonic device of the "Memory Palace," applied to Mackinac Island’s most iconic structure. Valade will demonstrate how he uses the architecture of the Grand Hotel to organize and recall history and personal stories, while creating a live painting that captures the visual essence of Mackinac.
