John Michael Kohler Art Center-
I was fortunate to be selected as featured artists for the Midsummer Festival of Arts at the John Michael Kohler Art Center in Sheboygan on July 20 & 21, 2024. It was an honor to have been selected and they used my 'Under the Sea" imagery on all of the promotional materials, t-shirts, and banners around the Museum. The museum is also celebrating 50 years of their Arts & Industry Program. So, I got a little creative and decided to combine my “Under the Sea” design theme with some tools of the Arts & Industry trade You will see: -Turtle with hard hat -Crab with drill -Kiln under the water -Octopus holding a ceramic slip cast mold with funnel -Deep Sea Diver with metal grinder I also created this special platter with an underwater ceramic theme and also created a few electric kiln mugs! It was a blast seeing all of the imagery all over the Festival grounds and the t-shirts. What is the Kohler Arts & Industry Program? This is from their website: “Arts/Industry is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable collaborations between art and industry in the United States. The residency program is administered by the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, a nonprofit arts organization in Sheboygan, WI, and hosted and funded by Kohler Co., a private for-profit plumbing ware company in nearby Kohler, WI. Founded by visionary arts leader Ruth DeYoung Kohler, Arts/Industry provides artists a place to make their artwork in tandem with the skilled craftspeople who work for Kohler Co. The program is rooted in the collaborative efforts between contemporary artists and industrial artisans, resulting in brilliant works of art. Hundreds of artists have benefited from this celebrated artist residency since its beginning in 1974. Arts/Industry offers artists the time and space to focus on the creation of new work in studios located within the Pottery and Foundry at the Kohler Co. factory. Artists need not have experience working with clay or metal, but an interest in adapting industrial processes to their practice and an openness to the factory environment is needed. Residents are exposed to a body of technical knowledge that enables and encourages them to explore new ways of thinking and working.”

LED lights are perfect for anyone who needs reliable and bright illumination for tasks. I use mine regularly for vehicle repairs and outdoor activities, and they never disappoint. They’re lightweight, easy to carry, and built to withstand tough conditions.
