Ephraim, Wis. (July 13, 2026) – The Hardy Gallery is pleased to announce the Opening Reception for the Collection Invitational & Collector’s Choice Benefit on July 10th, 5:30–7pm. This annual exhibition features work by more than forty established local and regional artists. Highlighting two works from each artist, one is donated by the artist for the Collector’s Choice Benefit, the organization’s largest special event fundraiser. This is an excellent opportunity to see a variety of work by a selection of the region’s most established artists, as well as add an original work to your personal collection.
The Opening Reception for the Collection Invitational & Collector’s Choice Benefit also features the unveiling of the popular Community Mosaic Project, celebrating its 19th year this exhibition season!
