VISUAL ARTS

Hanging wall art, pottery, jewelry and textiles fill both the front and the side gallery. The Art Garage is also a place for artists at any level to dive into their creative mind by offering workshops.
In March, the Green Bay Film Festival delights viewers with several categories including short film, documentary, Native American and feature film categories. Wisconsin-made films have also been a hit and meeting the film makers is a special experience.
