SO MUCH GOING ON THIS SUMMER
The Door County Art League is in the midst of one of our busiest years
ever. The new co-op gallery is in full swing at the back of the Top of
the Hill Shops at Highway 42 and County F in Fish Creek. Thirty-
eight artists, from painters to potters, fabric to folk artists, and jewelers
to just about anything else, have work displayed in this beautiful
location.
Jane Delcarson, manager of the Gallery of the Door County Art
League, has scheduled a number of demonstrations (list) throughout
the season. Artists using pastels, watercolors, oils, and acrylics to
produce traditional, realistic, whimsical, abstract, and folk art will be
featured in the forthcoming weeks. The show will change twice during
the season; and a reception to meet the artists is scheduled for Friday,
October 10th, in the evening.
In addition to the gallery space, League art can be seen in many other
venues. They are:
· “Sprummer” show at Trattoria Dal Santo restaurant,

County. Jim Leatham is the League member who coordinates the
