Fishtown is excited to welcome Chris Schmidt of St Fishtown is excited to welcome Chris Schmidt of Studio 13, back to the Art Shanty! Chris was this year's featured artist on the Leland Wine Festival poster, with an incredible design of one of everyone’s favorite tugs: Janice Sue. Originally from Leelanau County and now based in Houghton, MI, Chris blends the spirit of the Upper Peninsula with the beauty of Leelanau in his bold, outdoor-inspired artwork. His pieces reflect the landscapes, sports, and moments that make both places unforgettable. Chris will be at the Art Shanty through June 23—don’t miss your chance to meet him and check out his work in person! Can’t make it? You can always shop online: https://www.xmaticdesign.com/

They are young plants now, and will take a few years to be established, but they are bright spots of green just as they are. They might not speak back, but say hello to them the next time you are in Fishtown. And maybe help look after them, too.
