An afternoon filled with art, music, and ice cream was headlined with the much awaited reveal of the Southern Door Artist-In-Residence Sculpture that was built throughout the school year on Thursday. 

Families celebrated the art made by elementary school students, and the High School Band and Choir members wrapped the night up with their spring concert, but the sculpture that sits in front of the Southern Door High School Community Auditorium, stole the show. Southern Door alum and Sturgeon Bay artist Rob Soukup and Southern Door Elementary School art teacher Barb Schriner-Schmitt were the leaders of the project, guiding students, Southern Door faculty, and community members to contribute to the art. 

Schriner-Schmitt and Soukup spoke before the unveiling to thank the countless students, companies and workers that helped make the whole process possible, including the many years working at the Haunted Mansion during the cold October month.
