61st Annual Wall-To-Wall Juried Exhibit
The Hardy’s Juried Exhibit was among the first notable public art displays in the county and today continues among the Door’s most popular exhibits for visual artists. The exhibit, the most significant of the Hardy’s accomplishments in its history, is also the most recognized. From it’s very beginning as a gallery, the Hardy has served as an incubator for the promotion of Door County artists by providing space to visual artists who may not have gallery representation for the display of their work.
On Exhibit: May 27–July 9, 2023.
Opening Reception: May 26, 2023
Exhibit Sponsors: Sandy & Carl Zapffe, Blue Moon Framery
Juror: Craig Blietz

This annual exhibition features work by more than forty established local and regional artists, highlighting two works from each artist, one of which is donated by the artist for the Collector’s Choice Benefit, the organization’s largest special event fundraiser. Collectors find this to be a wonderful opportunity to add to their personal collection of art. The 16th Annual Community Mosaic Project was also unveiled during this exhibition. This hugely popular community-driven art project included 325 individual works of art, and all canvases were supplied by Artists Guild LLC in Sturgeon Bay.
