Artist Spotlight Series
The Hardy Gallery's mission is to enrich to vibrancy of the Door County arts community by promoting and fostering visual arts. We've begun to use our social media as a way to further that mission through our series, Artist Spotlight. This project is a collaborative effort, with the Hardy facilitating a quick interview to get to know local artists and explore their process behind the scenes. These videos can be found on our Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, and now accessed here for your viewing pleasure. Scroll through this page and learn more about some Door County local artists!
