​The work of the Saugatuck Douglas Art Club is commemorated in an exhibit at the Saugatuck Center for the Arts from June to August, 2011.  Called "In Perspective: The Legacy of the Saugatuck Douglas Art Club" it shows artwork by founders and important members, the careers and contributions of scholarship students, and a glimpse of work by current members.  Two gallery talks accompany the exhibit -- by Jane Van Dis on the early history of the Club and by Peggy Boyce on the history of the calendars.

​Cathie Moore and Jane Van Dis, art fair chairs for many years, organize their final season of the Waterfront Invitational Art Fair and Village Square Art and Fine Crafts Fair.

​The Art Club, through the efforts of Helen Van Mell, erects a memorial in honor of Saugatuck resident and puppeteer Burr Tillstrom in Saugatuck's Village Square Park.

​The annual calendar (for 1966) is first published as a fundraiser.  The effort is led by a committee consisting of Claire Allen, Janet Van Oss, Peggy Boyce.  Over the next forty-seven years over seven hundred unique drawings of local scenes by local artists will be published.
