New Consignment Gallery

Inaugural Open Call for Artists

A new, thematic southeastern Wisconsin art and fine craft gallery opening in fall of 2009 is seeking artists. The Dooryard Gallery celebrates the beautiful and provocative details of the Midwestern landscape, both cultivated and wild. The gallery will feature art, fine craft, and garden accessories in a variety of media, including 2-D, mixed media, ceramics, glass, jewelry, photography, stonework, metalwork, wood, collage, fiber, and sculpture. Submissions of kinetic art, functional fine craft, and pieces suitable for outdoor display including smaller scale furniture are also desired.

The 1000 s.f. gallery is located in an upscale suburb of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Elm Grove is a self-contained village which is home to many fine independent retailers, restaurants, and the venerable Sunset Playhouse. The gallery resides in a centrally located retail center.
