              to Chicago. But what truly resonates with visitors is that Algoma’s art community
              embraces people of all levels of art appreciation and it is not uncommon to find
              yourself welcomed into their homes and hearth. Our area also offers artists the
              resources and respite space to work on their craft. Visit www.algoma.org/art for
              information on studios, galleries and more.

                 Every First Friday of the month, downtown businesses open their doors for Gallery
              Night, a shopping and art celebration. Sip local wine with friends as you travel
              between galleries showcasing their newest exhibitions. Local artists, musicians and
              restaurants host pop up shops on the sidewalks. After 8PM it is very common to
              stumble upon the artists at the local establishments and be welcomed to sit down and
              enjoy a local brew and conversation.

                  In June of 2007, downtown Algoma was the site of the Walldog Wave, an
              International group of mural painters that converged on Algoma to create & recreate
              historic representations of Algoma’s history. Turn to pages 23 – 34 in this booklet or
              pick up your Historic Algoma Walking Tour brochure and explore these fascinating
              works of art along with the rich historic architecture unique to downtown Algoma.

                 While you are on your walking tour, be sure to stop by the Algoma Public Library
              to see the Henry Diefenbach outdoor cement sculptures. Diefenbach (1897-1967)
              was a self-taught artist who began his journey in the world of art while recuperating
              in a local sanitarium. He tucked seven houses and towers in his backyard along the
              banks of Silver Creek where they remained until the Kohler Foundation restored and
              gifted the sculptures to the City of Algoma.
