Are there other artists in addition to local artists?
Sincerely

Tom, the local galleries usually change their "featured artist(s) each month. I have seen art exhibited there that came from Wisconsin artists all over the state, as well as neighboring states.
The Madeline Island & Bayfield area has always been a sort of "artists colony", especially during tourist season. You'll see watercolor art, pottery, glassblowing, sculpture and more on display at galleries and boutiques around the south shore towns pretty much all year round.
