10 Years in Business Celebration
The Angela Lensch Gallery is pleased to announce a celebration of its 10 year anniversary on Thursday, September 14 from 4 to 7 PM.
Founded in 2014 by artist Angela Lensch, the gallery originally featured Lensch’s hand woven gold and silver jewelry as well as three dimensional artworks by Door County and Regional artists including mosaics, stained glass, metal sculpture, cork purses, mixed fabric dream catchers, and jewelry.
Over the past decade, the gallery has evolved to showcase Lensch’s mixed media mosaics and kinetic copper and brass sculptures made in partnership with resident artist and local musician, Tony Bessen.
To mark this milestone, the gallery will host an anniversary party featuring live music by Dorothy Scott and the Peacekeepers, featuring Dorothy Scott acoustic guitar & vocals, Tony Bessen on electric guitar & vocals, Adam Cain on drums and Paul Sowinski on bass. Seating for the band is limited, please feel free to bring a lawn chair.
There will be warm, homemade tamales with Angela’s garden fresh salsa, guacamole, hummus, and local garden-fresh vegetables. Local beverages will be served.
“We’re thrilled to celebrate 10 wonderful years in business,” said Lensch. “I’m so grateful to all my talented artists and our patrons who have supported the gallery over the past decade. I look forward to many more years showcasing local artists and bringing vibrant art to our community.”
The anniversary event is free and open to the public. The Angela Lensch Gallery is located at 7653 State Highway 42, Egg Harbor, Wisconsin. Parking is available onsite, along the street and Stella Maris Parish (just north of the gallery) is allowing the use of their parking lot if needed.

Peace, Moon & Dream
Thursday, August 11th, 2022
1:00pm -8:00 pm
Upper Peninsula of Michigan fine artist and musician, Bobbie Blackburn will be on-site at Angela Lensch Gallery on Thursday, August 11th, from 1pm-4pm for the debut of her on-of-a-kind, Peace, Moon and Dream Catchers. Bobbie fabricates each frame by hand from either branches or recycled tomato cages. She then builds them up with fabric and braids them with leather, hemp, jute, linen and/or cotton twine. Every strand and tassel is hand cut from her vast variety of vintage fabric. Each one is then topped off with stones, beads, flowers, feathers, charms, antique buttons, vintage costume jewelry and a few even hold Lake Superior Agates, hand picked by Bobbie herself. Stop in and see how Bobbie puts a fun boho twist to an age-old tradition.
In addition to her unique ‘Catcher’ collection, enjoy Bobbie’s limited edition collection of hand painted Lake Superior rocks entitled “Owl Expressions” as well as her elegant collection of wrapped zen rocks. ”My art is created to empower and inspire others while promoting peace, love and good vibes,” shares Blackburn.
And the fun doesn’t stop there! Bobbie Blackburn and her partner Eli Smith will join resident kinetic sculptor and musician, Tony Bessen, for an evening of live music in the beautiful and flowering sculpture garden of Angela Lensch Gallery from 4-7pm in celebration of the 7th annual Women’s Fine Art Galleries of Egg Harbor PROGRESSIVE ART CRAWL.
Eli flows on the rythym guitar, Bobbie’s vocals soar through the air like velvet and Tony’s guitar solos magically weave it all together. Enjoy covers like Dreams by Fleetwood Mac, Take This Heart of Gold by Mandolin Orange and Breakdown by Tom Petty in addition to original songs by Tony Bessen.
Enjoy a day of peace filled fine art, music and celebration.
Refreshments and snacks will be available throughout the event.
