Several hundred visitors welcomed November’s Sturgeon Bay Art Crawl after a one-year, pandemic-driven hiatus. An annual highlight is awarding the Doerr Prize to a lucky winner who has signed up at one or more of the artists’ studios.

Michael Doerr, a Sturgeon Bay woodworker and Art Crawl member, traditionally donates an original creation. This year the prize was a hand-turned wood platter that went to winner Mary Beth James of Neenah.
