Visitors and artists had a great time at the Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour.

Grafton Branch Manager Bridget Sobocinski said the recent Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour, held Oct. 11-13, was a huge success! North Shore Bank sponsors the annual tour with the Cedarburg Artists Guild.

Renee Schreiner’s artwork was on display at the Grafton branch’s Stone House Gallery.

One of the 46 locations featured on the tour was the Grafton Branch’s Stone House Gallery, the preserved original home on the site when the branch was built 15 years ago. The Stone House Gallery featured a few pieces from Renee Schreiner. Galleries and other locations showcasing art were sprinkled across Ozaukee and Washington counties.

Bridget said the artists were extremely grateful to North Shore Bank for its repeated sponsorship of the event. “As some of the artists visited the Grafton branch in the last couple of weeks, they said ‘thank you’ again,” she said. 

Many of the artists reported the best event to date in terms of attendance and sales. 

Bridget said the event was full of great finds, including unique ideas for holiday gifts. “The local talent is always full of surprises, and I look forward to our continued partnership with the Cedarburg Artists Guild,” she said.
