Our Story

In January of 2021, Kerry Kolke-Bonk and Brinna Langford realized they had the same dream of creating a space for people to create art, take classes, have time to experiment with different mediums and come together. Since then, Kerry has been fully running Appleton Art and Culture with Brinna updating the website. Kerry is currently renting the 1983 addition (Annex) of the Appleton Heritage Center and has been holding classes since April of 2021.

Kerry has also been working hard on an Appleton Museum in the space she’s renting and has secured many amazing items of Appleton’s rich history. If you’d like to visit the Museum, please contact Kerry directly or e-mail her at appletonartandculture@gmail.com

If you’re interested in teaching a class or supporting Appleton Art and Culture in anyway, please reach out to Kerry directly or e-mail her at appletonartandculture@gmail.com.
