The Hardy Gallery is pleased to announce a new endeavor for the 2010 season – the creation and production of a 2010 Door County Arts Map.
The Arts Map is something that’s been part of the Door County visual arts scene for many years – and it’s something that originated with the Hardy Gallery. PAHA (Peninsula Arts & Humanities Alliance) took over the printing of the Map in the 1990s, and, after the group reorganized their focus, discontinued printing the map in 2007.
After receiving feedback and having countless conversations with Door County visual arts community, which also included a survey sent out to the Hardy's artist constituency, it became apparent that the need for an Arts Map was overwhelming. The Map provides an easy-to-use format that lays out galleries geographically on the peninsula – and provides a great tool for any patron of the visual arts.
The 2010 Map will be distributed throughout the county by late May 2010 – and will also be available on our website (via a downloadable PDF as well as an interactive map on our site) around the same time. Look for the “2010 Arts Map” button on our home page in late May 2010!
We hope that visitors to Door County will use the Arts Map to find the galleries and studios that are tucked away from the peninsula’s main-travelled roads – and please, tell the artists you find that you used the Hardy Gallery’s Door County Arts Map!
The 2010 Door County Arts Map is supported in part by a grant from the Peninsula Arts Association and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
