8th Annual Gills Rock ArtFest at Gallery Ten

This year marks the 8th Annual celebration of Charlene Berg’s Gills Rock ArtFest at Gallery Ten on Labor Day Weekend. She’s decided to do something special to “spice it up.” Not only will there be at least 15 working artists outdoors, doing live demonstrations of their specialty, but this year she wants everyone to participate.

“Do you remember Dewey’s old yellow Chevy truck?…the one that used to belong to the Egg Harbor Fire Department,” she asks. “Well, Dewey and I are painting it all white and invite everyone to help turn it into a masterpiece!” The event will kick off on Saturday at 10 am when everyone is invited to put their touches on Dewey’s pickup truck.

Every summer, on Labor Day weekend, tents surround Gallery Ten, filled with original art for sale. A cadre of regulars and a few new artists come to Gills Rock each year to enjoy the festivities and provide all-day demonstrations. The diverse group includes a variety of plein air painters, potters spinning on the wheel and firing their works in hot Raku ovens, basket weavers, and jewelers.

The 8th Annual Gills Rock ArtFest will also feature live entertainment by Connor Berhnard and Greg Conrad on guitars and vocals with Dave Bernhard on flute. There are a variety of refreshments and a number of specials in the GT Coffeehouse. ArtFest takes place at Gallery Ten on Saturday and Sunday, August 30 – 31, from 10 am – 5 pm.

Charlene’s Gallery Ten represents over 100 artists in a gallery collection that is contemporary, original and eclectic. GT Coffee, complements the gallery, serving espresso drinks, free wi-fi access and Door County cherry pie by-the-slice.

The gallery and coffee shop are open Thursday through Monday (closed Tuesday and Wednesday), from 8 am to 5 pm at 12625 Hwy. 42 in Gills Rock, Wisconsin. Telephone 920.854.9907 for further information or visit online at http://www.GalleryTen.com.
