This event has been canceled due to inclement weather.
Please join us from 12:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Art Preserve, 3636 Lower Falls Rd. We will be exploring the artist-built environments, meeting guest artists, listening to music, and getting creative in a hands-on workshop.
Please note, all Wayside Days shuttles have been cancelled.
Explore the fascinating artist-built environment created by James Tellen. During the 1940s and 50s, Tellen merged his love of nature and spirituality in a series of seventy-five concrete sculptures on his family’s property nestled in the woods just south of Sheboygan.
Stroll the grounds to view works such as Tellen’s Abraham Lincoln and his Saint Peter tableau. Walk through Tellen’s family cabin and brat haus. Arts Center Exhibitions, Collections staff, and docents will be on hand to provide information about stewardship of the site and sculptures.

Wayside Days is supported by the Kohler Trust for Arts and Education, Ruth Foundation for the Arts, the Frederic Cornell Kohler Charitable Trust, Kohler Foundation, Inc., and the Wisconsin Arts Board with funds from the State of Wisconsin and the National Endowment for the Arts.
