The PAI of Egg Harbor, Write On Door County & The Kress Pavilion are pleased to announce an Artspeaks writing workshop at the Kress Pavilion.

This writing lab will be held

Friday, November 22, 2019 from 11am to noon.

Artspeaks is a practice of writing in response to a piece of art, this is an ancient form of art called ekphrasis.

Poet Francha Barnard will lead this workshop.   She will provide some background information and some examples of ekphrasis writing.  The participants will be free to chose a piece of art in the exhibit on the main level of the Kress Pavilion to write about.

When everyone is finished the participants will have the opportunity to share their writing if they wish.

This Artspeaks event is free and open to all interested individuals, from beginning writer to the more advanced writer.  

The Egg Harbor Public Arts Initiative announces the opening of the Lawton Gallery’s exhibition, “Museum of Natural Inspiration: Artists Explore the Richter Collection.” This exhibit is collaboration between the University of Wisconsin – Green Bay’s Lawton Gallery, the University’s Center for Biodiversity, and features artists who have created artwork inspired by the Richter Museum of Natural History’s collection of specimens. This exhibit is in a true partnership of art and science.

The exhibit opened with a free public reception on Tuesday, Nov. 5 from 4PM to 7PM, which included a special presentation by the Open-Door Bird Sanctuary. The artwork on display is on loan to the Donald & Carol Kress Pavilion from University Wisconsin-Green Bay’s Lawton Gallery.

This exhibition will remain on display until Spring 2020. It is the hope that by displaying the works in Door County, it will further broaden year-long celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the Center for Biodiversity.
