Edgewood Orchard Galleries celebrate the opening of its 49th season with a show benefiting Peninsula State Park. An opening day celebration takes place May 6, 10 am – 5 pm. The public is invited to visit the gallery and sculpture garden, enjoy complimentary refreshments and hors d’oeuvres, and view newly completed original artwork by more than 150 exhibiting artists.

This group show highlights the diverse natural beauty of Peninsula State Park, located a few miles north of the gallery. The gallery will donate a portion of all sales during this show to Peninsula State Park for the rebuilding and expansion of the park’s White Cedar Nature Center. This inspiring group show will be displayed through June 13.

A book signing also will be held at the gallery May 6, 10 am – 3 pm. Sue Steckart Jarosh, mother of gallery co-owner J.R. Jarosh, published her first book, Lighthouse Mouse. This is the first in a planned series of children’s books. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to Peninsula State Park’s Eagle Bluff Lighthouse.

Exhibit I includes a beautiful collection of John A. Sayers distinctive paintings displayed in the Courtyard Gallery. Jewelry artists Michael Michaud and his son, Michael Vincent Michaud, will also be featured. A reception to meet the featured artists will be held May 27, 4-7 pm.

The gallery is located at 4140 Peninsula Players Road, two blocks east of Hwy. 42 between Egg Harbor and Fish Creek. After opening on May 6, the gallery will be open daily from 10 am to 5 pm through Oct. 29. For more information, call 920.868.3579 or visit edgewoodorchard.com.
