Concept & Experience
Meet the people, view the studios, and visit the exhibitions that make Door County unique. Explore a glimpse of Door County's creative community guided by photographer and 2023 artist-in-residence Maeve Jackson through the historical lens of Peninsula School of Art's founder, Madeline Tripp Tourtelot. Visit art events and spaces, develop a relationship with Door County's creative community, and help weave a narrative about how this place has been formed and transformed over time. While this experience only scratches the surface of the vast art scene of Door County, it provides an introduction for you to explore further on your own. Whether you are an artist or art appreciator - this class is for you!
INSTRUCTOR
Maeve Jackson is a Milwaukee based artist and educator with a nomadic sensibility. As she travels her making-space shifts based on where she resides. Maeve is resistant to being limited to any single medium though she prefers working with the platforms of video, photography, and site-specific installations. Her work has been shown in numerous group exhibitions in Milwaukee, as well as Brooklyn, NY; Greensboro College, NC; Chicago, IL; Barcelona, Spain; and southern Austria. She has been featured in exhibitions at John Michael Kohler Art Center (Sheboygan, WI); and at (the once) Dean Jensen Gallery, VAR Gallery, and Saint Kate - The Arts Hotel; with solo exhibitions at The Alice Wilds and Lawrence University’s Wriston Art Galleries. Maeve has attended artist-in-residence programs at Hotel Pupik in southern Austria (2016 and 2019), Cow House Studios Open Residency Program in Wexford, Ireland (2019), and Peninsula School of Art (2023). Her film, “the beautiful”, screened across the United States after its 2017 premiere. Maeve is currently working on her next film, a non-traditional documentary about her family’s farmland.
