Sister Bay Hosts Festival of Fine Arts

The 9th annual Door County Festival of Fine Arts (DCFA) is August 11, from 10 am to 5 pm, at Sister Bay Waterfront Park.

Each participating artist displays finished pieces, and demonstrates their artistic process at least two scheduled times during the day. DCFA features fine artists who call Door County home or use the peninsula as a base of operations.

The demonstrations are unique to the Door County Festival of Fine Arts and bring an air of participation and engagement to the event. Sister Bay-based artist Tom Seagard says, “I invite people in, to their level of expression and understanding, so they too can understand the artistic process.”

Artists, like Egg Harbor-based watercolorist Kari Anderson, have participated in DCFA for years. “The show has developed a strong reputation for high quality work,” Anderson said. “It’s unique, because it’s an invitational show for Door County artists, which gives people from other cities an opportunity to see how artists make a living on the peninsula.”

To engage creative minds, DCFA features an Activities Tent, where art lovers of all ages and skill levels can unleash their creativity. Also, there will be a free entry drawing for artwork donated by participating DCFA artists. Anyone attending the festival is eligible to enter and receive a raffle ticket.
