For more than half a century Cedarburg, Wisconsin has served as a haven for artists and craftspeople. Its meandering creek, charming stone houses, bucolic landscapes and laid-back lifestyle have attracted painters and poets, potters and jewelers, photographers, woodworkers, musicians, sculptors and more. Twenty five years ago a handful of these people formed the Cedarburg Artists Guild to help bring attention to the burgeoning arts community. The Guild’s current membership of 150 represents the entire spectrum of the visual, literary and performing arts. As the Guild’s numbers have grown, so has its mission. The Cedarburg Artists Guild is dedicated to promoting and preserving the arts in Southeastern Wisconsin through education, scholarships, events and programs.

Beginning July 19, 2010, Peninsula School of Art will host over 40 artists from Door County, Wisconsin and across the country. The artists have just 6 days to put Door County’s magical shore front, fields and architecture down on canvas.

Free events for families and visitors will be held throughout the week.

Exhibit and sale of the artists’ works will begin with our Collector’s Preview and Gala Auction on Friday, July 23. With painting prices ranging $400 and up, an original piece of Door County won’t break the bank.

Saturday, July 24, watch over 100 artists paint during the Dockside Quick-Paint. Painting begins at 9am, and fresh, wet paintings will be for sale on live auction at noon. It's a chance for new artists to compete for a spot in next year's festival. Downtown Fish Creek is the place to be!
