The Door County Art League was organized in 1986 and incorporated in 1993 for the purpose of developing active community involvement in the field of creative arts. Membership is open to artists and all other persons interested in and supportive of the visual arts in Door County. Since the first season, the League has offered a variety of programs to members and guests wishing to enrich their lives through the knowledge, use, and enjoyment of art.

The October 26 bring-a-dish gathering is an important function, and attendees are encouraged to candidly express their views on how the league can better serve the arts and the arts community. The Gibraltar Fire Department is located at 3496 County Road F in Fish Creek. For more information on the league, visit http://www.doorcountyartleague.org or call 920.559.7530.
