Last night we attended the Sauk County Art Association’s A.R.T Gallery grand opening at the Al. Ringling Theatre in downtown Baraboo, Wisconsin. The long awaited opening of the gallery should help to infuse new life into the historic Al. Ringling theater which it seems has always struggled to find its place in our modern lifestyles. Incorporation of the gallery featuring amazing local artists, along with stage shows, concerts, plays, movies & more should go a long way toward making the “AL” the center of art and culture in our area.
We’ll watch the local paper for the information, the interviews and the final numbers from the silent action. It will of course continue to take money and volunteer dedication to keep things moving forward. What strikes me as I’ve often mentioned is that it seems we have a very vibrant art community that lies a bit in the underground of our community. Art is everywhere in Sauk County, yet similar to our wonderful natural assets here in the Baraboo hills, we need to keep working to find ways to help more of the locals to appreciate what the tourists already know. There’s a lot of good stuff around here. The new A.R.T. Gallery can only bring us closer to that goal.
I’m told the gallery will be open on Fridays and Saturday for now and will open more “full time” as the summer approaches. When you visit our community I invite you to head into downtown Baraboo and visit the local galleries and shops. The “big name” attractions around here often create a vortex that sucks all the attention their way, but all the wonderful things that make a community unique are usually a step or two off the main highway. I can tell you this, just a walk through the new A.R.T Gallery in the amazing Al. Ringling Theatre will make that little drive into downtown Baraboo worth it.
