Detroit-based painter and Academy alumnus Douglas Pendleton (MFA Painting 2022) has been selected as the 2025 Dome House Al and Mickey Quinlan Artist-in-Residence in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin.
The Dome House, designed and built by artist Al Quinlan in 1978, is currently a studio and community space for Door County, including the annual residency in partnership with Miller Art Museum. He will be in residence August 3 through September 28, 2025, as part of the museum’s celebrated summer program designed to support early- to mid-career visual artists in the Midwest.
Pendleton was chosen from a competitive pool of 40 applicants by the museum’s Artist Selection Committee. During his residency, he will receive a stipend, housing, and studio space at the unique 5,073-square-foot Dome House on Door County’s Lake Michigan shoreline.
Known for blending historical painting traditions with contemporary imagery and cultural critique, Pendleton plans to use his time in Door County to immerse himself in the landscape and explore en plein air painting. His residency will culminate in public programming and a presentation of new work in late September.
More information about Pendleton’s events and open studio hours will be announced by Miller Art Museum in the coming months.
