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 110th Green Bay Art Colony Juried Exhibition that showcases the talents of this dynamic group of women artist and makers.  

The 30th annual community celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday theme is A Vision for Peace: Keep the Dream Alive. Since 1995, students from Brown County have been challenged to paint, draw, or draft a piece of creative writing in celebration of each year’s theme. The contest is open to all K-12 students living or attending school in Brown County, and this year features 18 students representing 12 area schools.

All entries are judged on their relationship to the theme, category, originality, writing technique, voice, creativity, and publishable quality.

This celebration is organized by Northeast Wisconsin Technical College, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, Green Bay Area Public Schools, St. Norbert College, Lovin’ The Skin I’m In, representatives from Advocate Aurora Health, Bellin Health, Greater Green Bay Community Foundation, and Humana, and community volunteers.

Experience the many creative works of art by students in grades K through 12 from 34 schools in Northeast Wisconsin. This multi-media exhibit, sponsored by the Wisconsin Art Education Association, highlighted Youth Art Month, a national celebration sponsored by The Council for Art Education.

The annual celebration emphasized the value of art education for all children and encourages support for quality art programs in Wisconsin schools. Selected works from this exhibit will move onto the state exhibit in Madison.
