You can see the best in art created by Door County high school students starting this weekend.  The Miller Art Museum in downtown Sturgeon Bay celebrates 50 years in 2024 of honoring Door Peninsula student artists with the '50th Annual Salon of Door County High School Art'.  The exhibit will open this Saturday, April 13, as the museum will celebrate and host an opening reception and awards celebration on Monday, April 15, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. The event is open to the public and presented at 7:30 p.m. Certificates of Participation will be presented to all student artists by their respective art teachers following the presentation of all other awards by the Miller Art Museum.  Executive Director Elizabeth Meissner-Gigstead says the Salon of Door County High School Art is the museum's longest-running and most popular exhibit.

The annual exhibition features the work of more than 100 young artists from schools on the Door Peninsula. Working with their art teachers, the students demonstrate creativity and technical ability across diverse media, ranging from painting to sculpture, drawing, and photography. This year’s show will feature 174 imaginative works from students attending Gibraltar, Sevastopol, Southern Door, Sturgeon Bay, and Washington Island High Schools, along with representation by Door County home school students.
