Tomorrow is the opening day for our Sculpture Garden installation of life-size figurative artworks made by Cedarburg-local Dan Grunst!

Grunst created the works on view using a combination of found objects and wood which has been hand-carved and painted. These sculptures reference iconic images of folk traditions and Americana, including that of Uncle Sam, who is currently greeting visitors from our front lawn!

All of the works on display in the Sculpture Garden are available for purchase. For more about Dan Grunst, visit: https://www.dangrunstdesigns.com

Congratulations to the winners of the 2026 Annual Juried Exhibition!

For this year’s exhibition, "America: a Wisconsin Perspective," 35 artists interpreted the state’s role in 250 years of America’s history, just in time for the country’s semiquincentennial anniversary.
