SHOREWOOD, Wis. – North Shore Bank today announced it will unveil a new piece of Shorewood artwork and celebrate this summer’s "Butterflies in Flight" exhibit at a free open house on Wednesday, Aug. 12. The event will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. at North Shore Bank branch located on Oakland Avenue and Lake Bluff Boulevard.

At the event, North Shore Bank and village leaders will unveil a specially commissioned watercolor by local artist Scott Hefti.
