February Demos

Join us on Monday and Wednesday afternoons as we present a survey of techniques and methods in a variety of media by some of Door County’s finest artists. Get an up-close look, ask questions and jot down ideas that could result in new explorations. If you’ve ever thought about trying your hand at a new technique, now is your chance!

Demos are $5 per session, or free if you have paid for Open Studio for that day.
