The local hills are often referred to either as the Ocooch Mountains or more simply as the Coulees. This area has long attracted very creative, free-spirited people to shuck hectic city life and to move here to enjoy the slower pace and the beauty of the landscape.
During the past 40 years artists have moved here in appreciable numbers. The Crawford County website has a listing of many local artists. To get a feel for some of the local talent, visit the websites of Denis Daniels, Liz Quebe, Janet Wissman. Many local artists will be participating in the Driftless Area Art Festival on September 15 and 16, 2007 in the lovely village park in Soldiers Grove. The Art Festival is a two day celebration of Driftless Area art and includes continuous live music and unique local foods and wines. This art festival is rapidly becoming a favorite of both artists and art enthusiasts. There is simply no more majestic setting for a Wisconsin art festival than the incredible Driftless Area.
