Door County Art League

 

As I looked at the ‘Deck the Hall’ show at the Miller Gallery in Sturgeon Bay, I was so overwhelmed by the quality of art and artists who are members of the Door County Art League. I really feel that as an organization, this show presents to the world just how great this organization is and has been for 25 years.

 
I joined for the first time just 6 years ago and now I have to fill some pretty big shoes to continue to have the league grow and prosper. In those years I have met so many amazing artists who have encouraged me and my art, have become fast friends and actually made my life just wonderful in Door County. I hope to continue this positive attitude in all the things that I do this year. I would like to have the ‘door open’ to any great ideas that you have that may make the DCAL better. Through all the programs that we offer, Painting Buddies, Outside Shows, Festival of the Arts, the Gallery, The Members Showcase with Juried awards, the Masters presentation, the people who present new ideas at our members meetings, newsletters and the web, we are constantly looking for ways to encourage our members to get involved. By doing this, we are all helping each other whether it is with our art or with friendships. The League is the greatest place to become involved and come away feeling more fulfilled.

We are looking for more activities for our members by having the Painting Buddies become a place for all members to work together in the winter months. We are planning a museum bus trip for this summer. We are going to get the plein-air group going. We will have opportunities to show your work at the Gallery or outside shows. We are looking for more hands on activities and we welcome your ideas to help us improve.
I am excited about the things that are going to happen this year. It will be fun working with all of you. Welcome to a great year ahead!
