The Door County Community Foundation has awarded the Washington Island Art and Nature Center a Sustainability Grant from the Clifford and Clara Herlache Heritage Foundation. This grant provides financial assistance to support the Nature Room Renovation Project. Renovation of the Nature Room will allow for an enhanced environmental experience for all of the Art and Nature Center’s visitors.

“An exhibit is only as good as the presentation of the material,” said Frank Maxwell, board member of the Door County Community Foundation.

“Renovation will allow the Art and Nature Center to greatly expand display areas, provide more space to complete the display messages and provide a greater rage of experiences unique to Washington Island.”
