Non-profit center for education in the visual arts.
Over 100 years ago, artists began to retreat to Door County seeking inspiration from our landscape. They met and studied together informally and from this fledgling art colony, grew the desire to create a permanent place for artistic study and development on the Door Peninsula.
Founded 45 years ago this year, Peninsula School of Art, has grown to become a year-round destination for artists and art appreciators of all ages and levels, with facilities for painting, drawing, metal arts, ceramics, sculpture and photography.
Our programs include: workshops for novice artists just beginning their artistic pursuits and advanced artists seeking continuing artistic development; gallery exhibitions that educate and inspire; and events that are a tribute to our surroundings and the history of plein air painting.
Peninsula School of Art provides enriching, educational experiences to participants of all ages and abilities that broaden individual perspectives, and fosters a community dedicated to the transformative power of the visual arts.
1 to 5-day visual arts workshops, lectures, exhibitions, Summer Studios for Young Artists program, family-friendly activities and special events.
