10 Art Galleries in Wisconsin That You Shouldn't Miss
When you think “adventure travel” you probably think of far-flung places like Belize and Alaska—not Wisconsin. But if you’re an outdoor adventurer, you’ll find plenty of places to explore in Wisconsin. A vacation in Wisconsin can put you close to the Kettle Moraine State Forest, which has excellent biking trails. Or choose Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands—kayakers will love exploring Lake Superior’s many caves and shipwrecks.
Packers fans don’t wear those cheese-wedge hats for nothing! Foodies will love tasting as many of Wisconsin’s artisanal cheeses as possible. Either drive from cheesemaker to cheesemaker, or choose a Wisconsin vacation in a town with a good farmers’ market—then the cheesemakers bring their wares to you. And what goes better with artisanal cheese than craft beer? In Milwaukee, visit the Lakefront and Sprecher Breweries for tours and tastings.
Wisconsin Dells is a classic family vacation destination. A vacation in Wisconsin Dells will put you close to all the excitement—you’ll have to tear the kids away from the theme parks, wave pools and water parks in Wisconsin Dells!
Lake Geneva boasts clean beaches, golf, and a small-town feel that definitely appeals to city dwellers—it’s a popular getaway for residents of Chicago.

Having collected Frykman Christmas figures, it is always fun to see his shop. There are many delightful figures and now there are special carving pieces with wood from the Eagle Tower - beautiful! And in addition, there are many beautiful photos and other art. Well worth the visit to this special gallery.

Really enjoyed our visit(s) to Edgewood Orchard Galleries in Door County, South of Fish Creek. They really expanded their sculpture gardens and my favorite is still always the inside buildings where they added a balcony to a new gallery. So bright and such wonderful art of all types. Great jewelry! Got some treasures each visit as we had to come back the next day. This is really the “art museum” of Door County, where just looking is okay. And everyone is so friendly and helpful. Will come back next year for sure as it’s the highlight of our Door County traditions.

Last weekend my husband and I spent a lovely hour or more at this amazing store in Mineral Point, Wisconsin! Everywhere we turned there was art in a different medium ........... pottery, furniture, glass, paintings, prints, jewelry and many that I have forgotten to mentioned. We saw a variety of price ranges and artists. The owner was delightful to talk to and very knowledgeable about artists and items in the store. Understand he and his wife share ownership. Anytime in the future we are near Mineral Point, we will definitely visit Wantoot!

This old barn is the perfect place to display pottery by exceptional artists... All at reasonable prices. Since there's work by multiple artists, there's a wide range of styles and creativity. You're sure to find a piece that grabs your attention. One word of caution... The parking area is small. If you're driving anything larger than a full size pickup, you might want to reconsider pulling in off the road.

They had an artist reception on a Thursday evening and it was well attended. Art was overpriced, but glassworks were unique and priced fairly. My wife bought some earrings and they were beautiful and classy. They also sell outdoor art which can be found at only a few places in Door County.
