Sharing the Artistic Process in Sister Bay

Artistic demonstrations at art festivals may be commonplace, yet few festivals require every artist to demonstrate their craft for the public as artists do at the invitational Door County Festival of Fine Arts (DCFFA). The 14th annual DCFFA is Aug. 13, 10 am-5 pm, at Sister Bay’s Waterfront Park.

Each artist who participates in the festival shows off their talent not only with finished pieces of fine art, but by demonstrating their artistic process to the public at scheduled times during the day. This concept of demonstrations by each artist brings an air of participation and engagement from the public.

Whether they travel the world or Wisconsin for inspiration, the festival features only fine artists who call Door County home or use the peninsula as a base of operations.

As a means to engage creative minds of any artistic level, the festival hosts an activities tent where art lovers of all ages can unleash their creativity through a variety of mediums.

Birch Creek, David & Lynn Music, and Jess Holland will play music throughout the day. There is a free entry drawing for pieces of fine artwork donated by participating festival artists. Anyone who attends is eligible to enter and receive a complimentary raffle ticket. For more information, call 920.854.2812 or visit cometosisterbay.com.
