Upcoming Exhibits

Exhibit I
“Celebrate Water Benefit Show”
We are proud to open our 50th season with a group show celebrating the beauty of water. With the waters of Lake Michigan and Green Bay surrounding Door County and many smaller lakes and streams emptying into the scenic bays and harbors that line the peninsula, the beauty of water is all around us. This group show will raise awareness and funds for a new initiative called Celebrate Water Door County.
Our exhibit will be part of the year-long and county-wide celebration of water which will include musical performances, art exhibits, documentaries, discussions and ideas to keep our most valuable resource healthy for years to come. For more information visit CelebrateWaterDoorCounty.org or call (920) 421-2002.

Exhibit IV
“Shelter”
The stone barn that is the heart of Edgewood Orchard Galleries was built in 1918. For its first 50 years it played host to the property’s apple and cherry orchard, and since 1969 it has been the main display space for the gallery. It is a beautiful building, loved for its thick stone walls, the original wavy glass window panes, the coffee can lid patched wood floors upstairs, and the beautiful carved and stained glass windows and doors that Minnow has added over the years. We celebrate the barn’s centennial with a group show titled “Shelter.” As the artwork created by our gallery artists for this show demonstrates, shelter can take many forms. From a bird’s nest, to a tree, to a cozy corner, to a century-old stone barn, shelter is important to all creatures, great and small!
