SUMMARY:Georgia O’Keeffe: The Brightness of Light
DESCRIPTION:The Brightness of Light illuminates the extraordinary life and lasting influence of an artist who reshaped the American art landscape. From her formative years in the Midwest to her groundbreaking rise in New York’s modernist movement\, and finally to the vast\, sun-drenched solitude of the New Mexico desert\, the film traces O’Keeffe’s remarkable creative journey.  \n\n\n\nBlending letters\, archival imagery\, and the artist’s own words\, Academy Award-winning director Paul Wagner paints a vivid portrait of a woman whose bold interpretations of nature and fearless independence blurred the boundaries between abstraction and realism. Georgia O’Keeffe: The Brightness of Light is a meditative and visually stunning exploration of art\, love\, and the search for creative freedom. Film Details: Release Year: 2024 Rating: Not Rated Duration: 1h 56m \n\n\n\nTickets are FREE but seating is limited! \n\n\n\nRSVP Here

Jung Carriage Museum.   𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 Wade House Stagecoach Inn was constructed conveniently between the cities of Fond du Lac and Sheboygan\, along a well-used stagecoach trail. This made the 27-room Greek Revival hotel a popular resting point for weary travelers. Three generations of the Wade family resided on the Wade House property\, with the stagecoach inn operating until around 1872. The Kohler family and the Kohler Foundation purchased Wade House in 1950 and began a top-to-bottom restoration. The site became property of the Wisconsin Historical Society and opened to the public in 1953. Here\, visitors can journey back to the horse-powered world that existed before planes\, cars\, and trains. The site features the stagecoach hotel built and owned by Sylvanus and Betsey Wade\, early settlers of Greenbush\, as well as a blacksmith shop\, sawmill\, and the Wesley W. Jung Carriage Museum\, which houses Wisconsin’s largest collection of carriages and wagons. Visitors can enjoy horse-drawn wagon rides from the visitor center to the historic core and back again.
