Skies bursting with color at sunrise and sunset come alive again at night with shimmering stars and Northern Lights scattered clusters of wildflowers in bloom; tree-covered natural habitats; fields of corn and wheat; the breathtaking shorelines of Lake Michigan and Green Bay these all act as a muse to the painters, potters, glassblowers, sculptors, weavers, jewelers, actors, musicians, writers, poets, and other artists who call this rich landscape home. To experience the creative environment firsthand take self-guided tours through the galleries, studios, theatres, museums, businesses, summer schools, and other venues that feature working artists, handcrafters, performers, and art educators. The workshops and trainings Door Peninsula artists and schools make available offer enriching opportunities for a variety of skill levels. Many visual and performing artists are nationally recognized for their expertise and achievements; others are newer to their craft, taking the artistic community in uncharted directions. The businesses and studios where local artists sell their wares, and venues that offer extraordinary entertainment of the highest quality, have created a rich art history in Door County.
