Spring, 2025

We are pleased to be able to get back on the water in 2025. Blue Heron Landing is back up and running and offering pontoon rides on the Horicon Marsh in Horicon, Wisconsin. Our fearless fourth graders from Horicon Elementary will bring their curiosity and our orange binoculars as they search for eagles, herons, ducks and more!

March, 2025

Inspired by Ilan’s love of art and story, visitors to the John Michael Kohler Arts Center Social STUDIO are invited to share a story based on “This is Where I’m Coming From.” By mid-March, we will provide story cards and invite families to weave one or two sentences into the tapestry of an ongoing tale inspired by a captivating piece of corresponding artwork.

Our goal will be to enshrine this enchanting endeavor into a cherished book, showcasing a selection of stories alongside mesmerizing photographs of the artwork, with a limited number of copies available in the Social STUDIO.
