In just a couple of days we will be ringing the New Year. The past three years have been amazing promoting the visual arts in Northeast Wisconsin. The Artdose Art Guide is officially covering the visual arts from the entire state. The goal of this project was to be the most comprehensive art guide available and although there is a lot of work ahead of me, I know this can be achieved. What started as a black-n-white art guide with a circulation of 600 has grown to a full-color art guide with a circulation of 1,200. This would not be possible with the continued support of the following: Tour of the Town Fond du Lac, Mel Kolstad, Sheboygan Visual Artists, Riverwalk Art Center, Gallery Frame Shop, Two Fish Gallery, Plymouth Arts Center, Seranya Studios Art Boutique, Lakeshore Art Supplies, LLC., and BAMCO WORLD.
I am excited to welcome The Pink Llama Gallery and the Waukesha Art Crawl into the Artdose family.
I am looking forward to working with Sally Carson, graphic designer, from Sheboygan. I have been working with her on other projects for the past few years so I know she’ll rock this one. I have to give Erika Block from Creative Studios a shout out. She has been with me since the beginning of Artdose. Thank you, EB.
Here are some new features that you can expect from the new Artdose Art Guide.
- a featured artist from Wisconsin along with a Portfolio page
- a Calendar of Events with a listing of what is to come later in the year
- content from Artdose Art Guide shared through my WI art e-newsletter, Frank & Co. This e-newsletter is scheduled to land in your inbox on Sundays at 7pm (CST). To subscribe click here. This is a free subscription that will introduce you to more art happenings in Wisconsin.

Here’s to 2016.
