To pay tribute to the origins of the museum, The Neville Public Museum proudly hosts an annual exhibition featuring artworks created by current members of the club, now called the Green Bay Art Colony.
For more than a century, hundreds of women artists have been part of the Green Bay Art Colony.
These women continue to inspire each other, educate the public, encourage new artists, and give scholarships to art students.
Styles and club rules may have changed, but the dream to keep art and culture part of the community remains the same.
A total of 41 artworks from 23 artists were juried in by Lynn Gilchrist.
“It was my privilege to jury this year’s Annual Exhibit – especially at its anniversary of 110 years!” Gilchrist said. “I see a group of artists who are just as committed as the founding members must have been.”
Barbi Gossen was awarded first place for “Self Portrait”.
Carrie Dorski’s “The Paths I’ve Taken #1” earned second place.
Third place went to Cindy Laukka’s “Captured by Color”.
Honorable mentions were awarded to Karen Kjell for “Banana Comedy” and to Daniela Kouzov for “Water VII”.
The 110th Green Bay Art Colony exhibition will be on display at the Neville Public Museum until March 9.
