Mid Winter Festivals are free events that include well known artists presenting complimentary hour long demonstrations in their chosen medium, such as, watercolor, pastel, oil, and acrylic. In addition some festivals have an “Art Sale Table” of prints and original art work, artist’s books, and videos by internationally known artists plus hourly door prizes. The proceeds of the auction will be awarded as scholarships to the northern Wisconsin art workshops.
