As some of you know, the foundation of the Fairfield Art Center's permanent collection is our collection of graphic works and bronze maquettes by British artist Henry Moore. We've long wanted to dedicate one of our three galleries to our Henry Moore collection and are thrilled this goal was finally accomplished this past May.
Currently, all five of the bronze maquettes are on display as well as a selection of lithographs and etchings. We'll rotate the graphic works every few months so plan to visit often and see what's new.
In this new space, we've ditched the white cube and opted for bold background colors. Three coats of paint later we're thrilled with the results. As one of our patrons recently stated, "what a lovely home for Henry!" Come in and check it out. We're open every day but Sunday, with extended hours until 8pm on Thursdays.

Sturgeon Bay certainly is lucky to have this collection of work by an artist considered to be one of the greatest sculptors of his time.
