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 needs to present their medium and discuss it with the Gallery Director. Works are juried in by committee.
