Door County Contemporary art fair is returning to PenArt in Fish Creek on June 4-7, 2026. Guests are invited to experience the opportunity to access international galleries and artists known worldwide in an event that highlights the area as a vibrant nexus of creativity, connection, and commerce. VIP passes provide event-goers early entry with premier access to exclusive works and noteworthy gastronomic festivities. 

The inaugural Door County Contemporary art fair, held in 2025, marked a groundbreaking moment for the Midwest art scene. This collaboration with PenArt drew artists, galleries, and guests from across the region and the country. With over 3,400 guests in attendance and 20 exhibiting galleries from across the nation, the fair delivered a dynamic, standout celebration of contemporary art. 

Galleries participating in Door County Contemporary in 2026

From painters and sculptors to photographers, print-makers, and mixed-media innovators, the fair showcased a rich tapestry of artistic expression. Attendees also enjoyed a robust schedule of public programs, panel discussions, and artist talks, sparking conversations and forging relationships between artists, collectors, curators, and art enthusiasts. The event generated over $120,000 in art sales—a powerful testament to the growing support for a creative economy in the Midwest. 

This overwhelmingly positive reception reinforced the vision of Door County Contemporary: to cultivate a grounded, welcoming, and high-caliber alternative to the standard art fair model. Thanks to the generous contributions of DCC’s partners, the fair is returning with inimitable works on display and peerless possibilities for art exploration.
