For artists and art appreciators of all ages.

For over half a century Peninsula School of Art has been dedicated to the belief that everyone deserves access to the arts—and each of us has the potential for artistic expression. Our exceptional art workshops, art education programs, exhibits, and events open doors for curious minds of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to learn, discover and grow through the visual arts. We celebrate creativity together during the Door County Plein Air Festival. We bring nationally-recognized artist-educators to the Door Peninsula and artists from around the country share their works and process with the community in our Guenzel Gallery.

Convos on Creativity

Conversations on Creativity

Conversations on Creativity is your chance to come together with other learners to talk about art and artists. Each month we’ll cover a new topic - from what is creativity and how the creative process works, to aesthetics, the art market and inspiring artists. We’ll explore the topic through articles, podcasts, videos, and/or books.

From the Studios: Juried Student | Member and Featured 2021 Faculty

It was great! The instructor provided the spark my painting had been missing all winter. Something in his enthusiasm, approach or technique, made me rethink my "rules" and the result is my painting has stepped up a level. So excited to get back tomy studio! And the school itself is so comfortable and provides exactly what is needed! - Workshop Student
Workshop Student
This was an excellent class with a well established, nationally known versatile artist who shared a lot of interesting tips as well as broad insights to abstract painting. Thank you, PenArt for making this class available!
Workshop Student
This workshop was awesome. I loved every minute of it. The building and grounds were comfortable and offered lots of unique spaces. I also appreciated the sense of family from the staff on up. You really know how to run a workshop. Many, many thanks. I will be back!

Your metals shop was very well equipped. The class size was nice. The structure of the workshop was great. The instructor was terrific.Just the right amount of demo time. I was so pleased to go home with a couple of pieces that I am quite proud to share with my friends. I look forward to taking my next metals workshop.
