Beginning May 17th, visitors to Björklunden will have a great opportunity to view paintings created by artists from all areas of Wisconsin. They will be hung in the reception area just outside of Vail Hall, and if any of the twenty-five works appeal to a viewer, he or she will be able to make a bid to purchase their desired choice. Bidding will continue into the summer, ending on Saturday, August 22nd, at the Boynton Festival.
All the displayed paintings are being donated by a group of accomplished artists who visit Bjorklunden for a week three times a year led by Green Lake artist, Pat Dobrinska. Many of the participating artists regularly sell their work, receive awards in juried shows, and come together as a studio community from all parts of Wisconsin. Their donated works will be Door County and Bjorklunden-inspired images and will include watercolor, oils, acrylics, pastel or mixed media works ranging in size. We anticipate over 25 pieces to be shown in the Lodge with bidding beginning in mid-May and final bids taken at the Boynton Festival on August 22nd. This biennial Art Auction generated over $5000 to support the restoration of the Boynton Chapel roof in 2024.
