Sturgeon Bay Holiday Art Crawl Welcomes New Artists

This year’s Sturgeon Bay Holiday Art Crawl is set for Nov. 19 and 20, 10 am – 4 pm. 2016 is the 10th anniversary for the event which always takes place the weekend before Thanksgiving. Twenty-three artists at 15 home studios and galleries will present their original artwork which includes painting, weaving, glass, wood, metal sculpture, photography, ceramics and jewelry. Past patrons of the Sturgeon Bay Holiday Art Crawl have always found this event a unique opportunity to shop for original artwork, made in the community. The added bonus of greeting the artists and seeing their workplaces has captivated guests for 10 years.

A preview reception will be held Nov. 18, 5 – 7 pm, at Popelka Trenchard Glass, 64 S. 2nd Ave. The public can meet the artists, enjoy refreshments and see examples of each artist’s work.

A one-of-a-kind door prize is a popular attraction of the crawl. This year’s prize is a unique bread and cheese board by Michael Doerr, inspired and designed in collaboration with Sandra Martinez. It will be given to a winner from among the entries filled out at the crawl locations. It’s currently on display at Artists Guild on Third Avenue.
