• We Love Art: The American Voice Exhibit
• Peninsula School of Art & Gallery
• 3900 Cty F Fish Creek WI (MAP)
• 
   Each winter, Peninsula School of Art chooses a theme for an exhibition with works created by local students. In 2010, they will look at five periods in American art which have had a lasting impact on our culture and on art around the world. History, science, politics and culture have always informed the visual arts, but have you ever wondered what makes American art...American? Come in from the cold, and walk the timeline from Native American arts though American Abstract Expressionism. Along the way you’ll learn about major works of art, art movements, and groups of artists who have helped us define what it means to be American.
