About Peninsula School of Art

WORKSHOPS & CLASSES: CREATIVITY UNLOCKED - FOR ALL AGES AND SKILL LEVELS

PenArt has long been a creative refuge for first-time makers, developing students, and established artists to work and learn in community, exercise their creativity, acquire new skills, and explore fresh art forms. Our visiting faculty consists of artists and educators who are the best in their field, bringing with them incredible expertise and experience, which they’re eager to share. In addition to learning from them, the collaborative nature of our studios ensures you learn from your fellow students, too.

EXHIBITIONS: ART IN ROUND, ALL AROUND

The Guenzel Gallery, our exhibition space, displays a rotating schedule of exhibitions of nationally-recognized artists’ work throughout the year. These exhibitions celebrate both in-process and finished work, with the goal of offering visitors of all ages insight into the artistic process and a fine art experience that feels just at home in the quiet of Door County as it would in a large city.

ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE PROGRAM

Our Artist-in-Residence program is designed for visual artists of all types and experience levels, and offers an immersive studio experience where artists can devote time and space to the reflection, research, and experimentation of producing new bodies of work. The program is open to six individual artists—during their stay with us, these artists receive a semi-private workspace in our new Madeline Tourtelot Studio Building, access to specialized equipment, housing; and a variety of professional development opportunities.
