Artist's Network
The Network is comprised of artists representing all the major medias of art from oils to acrylics and pottery to jewelry just to name a few. The vast majority of these artists live, work and create locally in St. Clair County, however, a handful live throughout the state of Michigan and Canada. Any artist interested in joining the network will need to schedule an appointment with the Executive Director and present their portfolio.
