This Gallery at the end of the pier that leads to Green Bay in Ephraim, Door County, is absolutely…read moreamazing. Sadly, the markers/paint was not out for people to leave their graffiti due to COVID but we had a great time finding the markings we left 2 years prior (and we found one!!!). The outside of the gallery is much more interesting than the inside; you could spend a good chunk of time just looking at the messages and artwork on all 4 sides of this shed-like building. They must clean it up so people can paint over the bottom 6 feet, where most people can reach). We only were able to find our initials as my husband creatively wrote them up very, very high (I think at one point I may have been trying to hold him up, hahahaha). Outside and around the gallery is a fantastic location for photos and to sit and enjoy the sunshine and/or water. I have been there when the Lake was wave and the waves washed over the dock - so be careful when you visit if you do not want to get wet or cold! I would say the Hardy Gallery is a must-see, even if you only stop for a moment and especially if you are on the western side of Door County.

Unique art gallery located on the water. Consistent with other reviews the outside is more…read moreinteresting than the indoor gallery. Every inch of the exterior is covered with graffiti, some dating back 10 -12 years. Definitely take time to stop read the names, enjoy the lake views. So why a 4 rating, mostly for the inside gallery . Such a great historical gem.

It has been a couple weeks since we enjoyed a concert over the Labor Day weekend in Door County,…read moreWI. The concert series we enjoyed was held at an amazing venue, The Clearing. The pieces we enjoyed this wonderful afternoon were: Suite in G Minor, Op. 71 - Moritz Moszkowski, Trio on Chassidic Melodies by Paul Schoenfield, and Piano Quartet in C Minor, Op. 13 by Richard Strauss. The middle piece by Paul Schoenfield, was particularly enjoyable as it is in a unique and lively style which compliments the more traditional chamber music we usually hear. The Moszkowski piece was also very moving and awe inspiring, while Richard Strauss was the perfect way to end this concert, leaving us mystified by the talent of the musicians. The people of Midsummer's Music, from administrative staff, to the organizing vision of Jim Birkenstock, to the myriad gifted yet humble musicians, is what makes this series so special. We can often find concerts held in magnificent venues, from concert halls to library auditoriums, but seldom can you chat with the musicians to learn what inspires them to produce such beautiful music! Come to Door County, Wisconsin. Enjoy the nature, the restaurants, the galleries and the people. Come to Door County to take in some equally breath taking music!

After visiting nearby Door Bluff Headlands County Park, we dropped in here on a whim as the signage…read morefor this studio was located right on the same Garrett Bay Road that leads out of the park.  And we are very glad we did, as it was a unique business and cultural Door County experience indeed.  The gravel and dirt road leading to their secluded studio is like being right back in the park, and after a little bit of roadway, their studio appears out of the woods.  Ha, perty different and interesting to say the least!   Off to the side of the studio was Diane McNeil who greeted and welcomed us.  Hidden back in his workshop was John Dietrich, the master potter at work.  We browsed around the gallery and there was a lot of colorful and artistic pottery to look at, but nothing really clicked for us buying-wise on this trip anyway.  But the best part was that after browsing, we got to chatting with this delightful and engaging and long time husband and wife team.  Their gallery is actually a converted historic 1934 vintage apple barn.   On the premises behind their gallery is their home too.  You can tell this business is their love and livelihood.  We learned yet again it's a small world.  Diane actually hails originally from Glen Ellyn, IL and still remembers now bustling Naperville as open pasture land!  John was raised in Appleton WI and trained from his college days to be a master potter, but both of his parents were actually renowned painters from Oak Park, IL!  There are other potteries in town we noticed later, and I'm sure each has their own story, but their particular story here was one that gave us a sense of connection.  Drop by to meet this welcoming couple, go off the beaten path, and see if any of their work might be what you're looking for!
