108th Green Bay Art Colony Exhibition

Opening Saturday, February 11

In September 1915, the Green Bay Art Club held its first public art exhibit in the children’s room of the Kellogg Public Library (125 S. Jefferson St.). This exhibit laid the foundation for a permanent museum in the library in 1917, which became the Neville Public Museum. Ever since then, Colony artists have held an annual art exhibit at the Neville Public Museum.

 

The Green Bay Art Colony is a growing and thriving group of female artists. For more than a century, hundreds of women have been part of the Green Bay Art Colony where they continue to inspire each other, educate the public, encourage new artists, and give scholarships to art students. Styles, the name, and club rules may have changed over time, but the dream to keep art and culture part of the community remains the same. Experience the 108th Green Bay Art Colony Juried Exhibition that showcases the talents of this dynamic group of women artist and makers.
