"Deck The Halls With Art" Exhibit Climaxes DCAL's 25th Anniversary Year
By Door County Art League
Nov 9, 2011 - 8:46:07 AM
As its 25th anniversary year draws to a close, the Door County Art League will celebrate its history and traditions with a winter/holiday-themed exhibit — “Deck the Halls with Art” — Nov. 12 to Dec. 28 at the Miller Art Museum in Sturgeon Bay, WI.
Reflecting the spirit of the season, “Deck the Halls” will feature 2-D and 3-D art in a wide range of media from 68 art league members. Over 150 new works (never before exhibited) will be on display, including oils, pastels, watercolors, acrylics and multi-media creations. Many items will be offered for sale.
According to Marcia Nickols, DCAL vice president, the exhibit will open with a reception and awards ceremony on Sat., Nov. 12, 2-4 p.m. at the Miller Art Museum in the Sturgeon Bay public library. The reception is free and open to the public. Jurors’ awards will be presented for first, second and third place and honorable mentions—plus a people’s choice award. Jurors for this year’s exhibit are Bren Sibilski, David Frykman and Lynn Gilcrest. The reception will culminate with the announcement of the newest artist to join the ranks of the legion of Door County Master Artists.
DCAL—A BRIEF HISTORY Founded in 1986 by Sue Anderson, Russ Coventry and Rosemary Utzinger, the Door County Art League had 46 charter artist-members. In 1987 DCAL opened the Showcase Gallery in Ephraim in what is now the Hardy Gallery on the Anderson Dock. In 1996, DCAL began the Master Artist program to recognize artists whose work best represented the visual arts in Door County and who had significantly contributed to this art community through teaching, community involvement and promotion of the arts. First recipients of the award included Phil Austin, Abe Cohn, Gerhard Miller, Frederic Victor Poole, F. DeForest Schnook and Madeline Tourtelot.
The Door County Art League welcomes everyone interested in the arts, in making new friends, in associating with artists and supporting them, becoming inspired, gaining knowledge and trying their hands at new pursuits. Membership is available to all persons interested in promoting and enjoying the creative arts in Door County. For further information, visit www.doorcountyartleague.org and click on membership.
