9th Annual Merrill Artisans Showcase

Celebrate the arts by attending the ninth annual Merrill Artisan Showcase, on February 11 in Assisi Hall at Bell Tower Residence at 1500 O’ Day Street. The show runs from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. and includes 20 or more Wisconsin artisans who will display their talents in painting, photography, carving, pottery, fiber arts, quilting, jewelry making and more. A new artisan this year is Shirley Gajewski who will display her “Nature Collages.” Her birch bark art was born when a friend asked her to do a wall hanging depicting the Northwoods. Admission to the event is $5 and includes the show, wine, cheese, appetizers, and on-going-piano music on the hall’s Steinway Grand by four Merrill pianists. Another attraction is the on-site raffle to which the artisans donate a piece of artwork and provides a chance to win a one of a kind creation. This show is an opportunity to rub elbows with talented artisans in beautiful Assisi Hall. So grab a glass of wine, and join us on February 11 from 1-5:00 p.m. and enjoy the celebration. Proceeds from the show go to Bell Tower Residence for debt reduction.
