Pen and ink, watercolor, pencil, gouache – whatever the media, the Illustrator is an artist with a story to tell. What is the difference between a painting and an illustration? This exhibition will explore the work of several artist-illustrators, their processes, differences, and similarities between “art” and “illustration”.

This exhibit will be featured in our Fisher Room Gallery from February 20th through March 28th.

This annual favorite will feature hundreds of works by talented students in grades K-12 from regional schools. A wide variety of media will be on display, including photography, digital art, ceramics, painting, drawing, sculpture, and mixed media. The work will be juried by area artist and educator, Glenn Wolff. Awards for first place through honorable mention will be awarded in several categories.

A reception, sponsored by A & W of Frankfort, will be held on Friday, February 13th from 5:00 - 7:00 PM.

Paleo Joe presents these fine Paleozoic creatures in a way that tells a story of the prehistoric life in the ancient seas. He provides a unique snapshot of life in the ancient seas from 250 to 500 million years ago. Finally he explores the life and death of these creatures once so plentiful during the Cambrian period that it was called the Age of Trilobites.

Join us Friday, February 20, at Gilbert Lodge at Twin Lakes for an evening of lively music and joyful dancing! Sway, spin, and step your way through contras, squares, and line dances to live music.

Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or brand new to the floor, all are welcome. Friendly guidance will be provided by Pat Reeser of the Bayside Travellers, with a special beginner’s lesson starting at 6:30 PM to walk through the basics.

No experience or partner necessary—just bring your enthusiasm and dancing feet!

Suggested donation: $10–$20 to help support our musicians and venue. Everyone is welcome, regardless of ability to pay.

It's Deadwood, 1876, and Boss Butler wants control of the town. When he makes his move to seize it from Widow Dawson the town pushes back and there’s a murder! Was it Sawbones the Snake Oil Salesman, the wild woman of a tracker Catastrophe Jones, the outlaw gunslinger Black Bart, or was it Hawkeye Hayes Dawson herself?

Enjoy an evening of mystery and mayhem at Hotel Indigo while supporting Old Town Playhouse.

Audience members are encouraged to dress in their best Wild West attire, with prizes awarded for the best dressed!

Tickets include reserved seating for the show, appetizers, buffet dinner, dessert, 1 beverage, and valet parking.

Need a day to play and let go of those February blues? Join local artists Jessica Kovan and Lauren Everett Finn in this fun, collaborative, fast-paced day of art play and camaraderie, inspired by the INteriors exhibition (January 9–March 12, 2026), which explores inner spaces, both real and imagined.

Beyond the comedic routine of these two friends, you'll enjoy hands-on mixed media experiences, cookie eating (chocolate promised!), and a day of artful fun—all designed to beat those February blues. Using the exhibition’s theme as inspiration, we'll explore the “interiors” of our own minds and create playful, expressive artworks that reflect our inner landscapes.

If you joined us before, we have new projects up our paint-covered sleeves this year, so don’t hesitate to sign up! All supplies included.

A Guided Winter Trek, Hot Cocoa, and a Flavor of History in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore

Discover Port Oneida’s past on snow-covered paths with your history guide. Your adventure begins and ends at the historic Olsen House where after a gentle trek, you will gather in the kitchen for a hot cocoa bar with all the fixings, and warm cookies, using Hattie Olsen’s own recipe. Visit this cozy, charming home during the winter season and get a unique snowy view of the Olsen farmstead and surrounding landscapes.

If conditions do not allow for snowshoeing, we will take a winter hike. Bring your own snowshoes and a change of shoes for inside the Olsen House.

This event is for adults and children over 12. This is a free event and donations are welcome. Registration is requested so we can prepare enough cocoa and bake enough cookies!

Each Artist has transformed a discarded cigar box into a work of Art. Paintings, Sculpture, Mosaic and even a Ukelele are some of the treasures which have been made from a cigar box. Some are recognizable, and some have been taken apart and salvaged into something entirely different.
