Invitational, Community Mosaic Exhibits at the Hardy

“Shared Language II” by Lynn Gilchrist.

The Hardy Gallery in Ephraim is displaying two annual exhibits until Aug. 28.

The Collection Invitational & Collector’s Choice Benefit features two works from each invited artist. One is donated to the gallery’s silent auction, with all proceeds benefiting the gallery’s operation and programming, and in return, the second piece – similar in theme to the donated piece – is marked for sale at the artist’s request. 

Make bids in person at the gallery, by calling 920.854.5535 or by emailing [email protected]. 

Celebrating its 15th year, the Community Mosaic Project seeks to engage and enrich the public through the visual arts and to raise funds for the Hardy Gallery’s programming and its mission to support local artists. 

The Artists Guild in Sturgeon Bay provides free, six-inch-by-six-inch canvases on which participants create a work of art; then the finished canvases are displayed together as a unique mosaic wall.

The canvases are available for purchase at $30 from the gallery or by phone, mail or email as a blind buy: Purchasers do not know which canvas from the mosaic they will receive.
