Gallery of Children's Art at Door Community Auditorium!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Oct 22, 2015

Door Community Auditorium

3926 Hwy. 42 • PO Box 397
Fish Creek, WI 54212-0397

(920) 868-2728

Peninsula School of Art (PenArt) is proud to display artwork created by youths attending their 2015 Summer Studios for Young Artists workshops, as well as the School’s Family Art Days outreach program, in the upcoming Art of the Family exhibition, on view starting October 23 at The Link Children’s Art Gallery at Door Community Auditorium.

Artwork from PenArt’s summer youth workshops includes pieces created in the fine art media of painting & drawing, ceramics (hand building and on the potter’s wheel), animation, sculpture, and printmaking.

Contributions to Art of the Family from September’s Family Art Day follow the theme of “#ArtofTheFamily,” with family members working together to draw a “selfie” of their family enjoying a special memory from within a paper iPhone-shaped frame. In a world where the “selfie” self-portrait is seen consistently on Facebook and Instagram newsfeeds, PenArt stepped away from a focus on the individual to concentrate on what truly makes Door County unique – the families that support a strong arts-centered community.

After discussing their ideas, families drew a “#familie” that expressed what makes their bond unique. Those visiting the exhibition are encouraged to create and add their own #familie to the Link Gallery walls. By doing so, they join the featured artists of Art of the Family in a celebration of the beauty that is created when families collaborate their creativity and express their feelings through art, and then share it with the Door County community.

Since PenArt’s founding summer in 1965, the commitment to providing meaningful and fun curriculum for young artists remains strong. The summer youth arts program has grown from only two children’s workshops to today’s nearly 40 classes for children ages 3.5 to 17 years old, including those with family-centered activities.

The Link Gallery of Children’s Art is Door County’s first exhibit space dedicated to the showing of artwork that portrays the world through the eyes of children.  Exhibits can be viewed from noon-5 p.m. Monday-Friday and from noon to show time on show nights.  The Link Gallery of Children’s Art is located at 3926 Hwy 42 in Fish Creek, inside the Door Community Auditorium.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  April 10, 2013  Contact Beth Levendusky blevendusky@dcwine.com    920-743-7431    Exhibit of local artist, Lynn Gilchrist, to open Saturday at the Gallery at Door Peninsula Winery. Carlsville, WI - The Gallery at Door Peninsula Winery is pleased to present the work of Lynn Gilchrist in a solo exhibit on the two floors of its central rotunda from Friday April 24- August 14.  The Opening Reception will be Sunday, April 26, 4:30- 7:00 with Door Peninsula Wines and Bistro 42 appetizers featured. Lynn Gilchrist's work is represented by Woodwalk Gallery, Egg Harbor which has coordinated this exhibit for the Gallery at Door Peninsula Winery.  The exhibit is open 9am-5pm daily in April and 9am-9pm throughout the summer.  The Winery is located in Carlsville, between Sturgeon Bay and Egg Harbor on Highway 42. Gilchrist lives and works in Sturgeon Bay.  She received her BA in Studio Art/ Art History from Oberlin College in Ohio with study at Temple University in Rome and at California Institute of the Arts.  She has won numerous awards, including Best of Show and Purchase Awards at shows in Sacramento, CA, Lake Forest, IL, and Appleton, Green Bay, Madison, Milwaukee, Sheboygan and Sturgeon Bay, WI. Her solo and invitational shows include: Neville Public Museum, Wisconsin Arts Gallery, Miller Art Museum and West Bend Gallery of Fine Arts (all WI), Lee Hall Gallery/N.M.U. (MI), and Deer Path Art Gallery (IL). Lynn Gilchrist is in love with Door County- its beauty, its people, its hidden wonders, its essence.... and it shows, in some way, in almost every painting she does . "I go to nature for contemplation, recreation, enrichment, and wonder. Being able to run outdoors and to paint outdoors in Door County is a great joy, with Lake Michigan, the fields and woods all around. The pursuits intertwine: running can open one's eyes and be a form of meditation and doing art can feel like a physical race in itself. While plain air painting the artist may be staring but is no longer day-dreaming. One needs to paint fast and in the process makes quick choices that are usually more true to one's soul." The exhibit features work from every decade of Gilchrist's expansive career and interests which means that in the midst of landscapes and nature studies, you'll find dogs watching tv, various self-portraits, girl-friends and just bright, whimsical paintings (including pastels) meant to be fun and engaging.  She quotes Henry Miller's vow to himself to do her work "calmly, joyously, and recklessly."

Artist Donna Brown's Work at Door Peninsula Winery Gallery

NOTE:  photo: Courtesy: Donna Brown

“DONNA BROWN: IN HARMONY” TO BE ON DISPLAY AT THE GALLERY

STURGEON BAY – Donna Brown: In Harmony opens the 2014 season at the Gallery at Door Peninsula Winery with a reception Thursday, May 22 from 4:30 - 6:30 p.m. Music will be provided by Kalen Keir on saxophone. The collection will feature many works centered on her love for capturing nature and expressing it by using vibrant colors.

A Door County resident for over 20 years, Brown operates her own studio and gallery – the White Barn Gallery, in Baileys Harbor.

Brown has won awards in many juried shows and can be found in various public collections, including the Miller Art Museum, Door County Memorial Hospital, Marshfield Clinic, Wausau Public Library, Appleton VA Hospital and Northwest Mutual Insurance. For many years, she actively exhibited her work in national and regional art shows and therefore has many fans in distant locations.

The accomplished watercolorist divides her time between Mexico and the U.S. and loves observing the beauty and boundlessness of nature in both locales. She loves seeing her summer birds on their winter vacations in the south and has begun incorporating them into her imagery.

“The balance of nature is delicate,” Brown said. “It is my deepest hope that as you look at my work, you will consider your connection with the birds, butterflies or bees that you may find scattered in these compositions and seek ways to assure their continued presence and well-being while enjoying the imagery.

“These are my muses … flying in and out of my vision but leaving traces of their paths for me to wander and wonder and enjoy.”

Brown is always looking for new approaches ever more true to her inner vision. This passion has led her to explore printmaking as well as extensive experimentation with mixed materials, including encaustics. Aficionados and collectors appreciate Brown’s artistic integrity, lured by the certainty she has the courage to explore different media, new applications and fresh approaches.

FOR MORE ON DONNA BROWN: Check out new images and happenings at whitebarngallery.com and on Facebook as Donna Brown White Barn Gallery.

ABOUT THE GALLERY AT DOOR PENINSULA WINERY: The Gallery is a beautiful, dedicated space connecting Door Peninsula Winery, Door County Distillery and Bistro 42. Seasonal shows ensure that each visit will be unique offering works from local Door County artists.

New Art Work at the Gallery at Door Peninsula Winery!

DoorCountyNavigator.com just received this press release from the Door Peninsula Winery   

Rolf Olson exhibition to get “Up Close and Personal”

The newest exhibition to come to The Gallery at Door Peninsula Winery will feature the works of award-winning poet and photographer Rolf Olson. The new show will be titled “Door County: Up Close and Personal”.

 

Olson has been a craftsman in wood and metal for 25 years working in Door County as a boat builder and joiner, designing and building doors, cabinets, furniture and functional objects. Olson said he has always “enjoyed clean, simple and elegant design” and his photographs “reflect that aesthetic.”

“I am drawn to the resonant factor of a landscape, (which) elicits a question or an emotional response from

the viewer,” Olson said. “Hopefully there will be more content than just the object itself.”

Olson’s exhibition will feature selected photographs composed and framed without digital manipulation and minimal cropping. Most of the images are captured with an older Canon Powershot S3 IS and featured in the exhibit will be photographs of Door County “up close” and truly “personal”.

 

The work from the Egg Harbor resident has been featured in the Peninsula Pulse, the UU Gallery in Ephraim and Glas in Sturgeon Bay. Next spring, a show of his photographs and poetry corresponding with paintings of Margaret Lockwood will be featured at Woodwalk Gallery.

The exhibition opened on Nov. 1 and will be on display during the entire off-season.

The Gallery at Door Peninsula Winery is part of the complex within Door Peninsula Winery in Carlsville, which includes Door County Distillery and Bistro 42. Our seasonal shows ensures each visit will be unique offering works from local Door County artist, primarily working with two-dimensional pieces.

The Gallery is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with extended evening hours when the Bistro 42 is serving dinner.
