The middle weekend of July is Bayfield’s Annual Festival of the Arts & Gallery Tour. In 2019 this will be the 57th annual celebration (July 20 – 21). The arts and crafts portion of the event is held in the park along Bayfield’s waterfront and includes a variety of traditional artistic media (paintings, sculpture, photography, etc.) as well as unique craft items like pottery, jewelry, wood carvings, and more.  In addition there is Gallery Tour where a number of local galleries and artisan studios host open houses, gallery exhibits, special sales and working demonstrations of their crafts.

What to do with your old golf clubs? Turn them into artistic bottle openers!

I loved these glassware pieces but so delicate I would be afraid to touch them.

On the way out of town we stopped in at the WoodCarvers Gallery.
