Grand Rapids
is fortunate to have multiple locations
for the public to see locally produced
art, and even participate in crafting
your own works. So much of the locally
produced art is created in home studios
that are often not open to the public.
This page is dedicated to places where
you can make art, take a class, or
locations that serve as a gallery of
changing art pieces. Whether you are in
the mood to create with your own hands,
or enjoy the work of another, we have
some suggestions for you.
If you are interested in purchasing
local art, please visit our Art for Sale
page for a list of locations. Other
locations that feature unique pieces of
work as part of their décor are listed
on our Public Art & Architecture page. |

Galleries Where Art is Viewed |

MacRostie Art

The MacRostie Gallery is actually two
galleries in one. The Minnesota Gallery

Minnesota, while the MacRostie Gallery
space can feature regional, national, or
international traveling exhibits that
you might not expect to see in a
northern Minnesota community. Opening
receptions are held the first Friday of
each month and the public is invited.
Gallery visitors are always welcomed
free of charge.
