| One of Many Art Studios in Fort Atkinson... |
|
Fort Atkinson and the surrounding area in Jefferson County is host to a number of talented artists and artisans. Their visual art and music studios dot the map throughout our town. Workshops and writers desks tuck themselves in between the open fields and wooded river banks. Creative happenings seem to be emerging at every turn and include those who have lived here and lived art a lifetime and many new to the area and new to art. Here is just the current (2010) sampling of the visual artists, musians, wood workers, sculptors, authors, architects, and art venues Fort Atkinson has to offer.
