for more information on this generous donation. We've wanted this for so many years and are
very excited to see it happening. Thank you mBank!
We enjoyed our six successful
years at the Traders Point location. And several years downtown at 212 S.
Cedar Street. Next we are looking forward to even more years at our new permanent location just down the street
at the corner of South Cedar and Oak Streets.
A very special THANK YOU to All who
are helping to make it
Happen!!
It wouldn't Be without YOU.
There is a lot of work to be
done to this iconic old building but Lake Effect
Community Arts has moved in and is holding classes and
other activities already. The Lake Effect Art Gallery
will open its 2020 season July 1 in their new home in
the building.

Come

A
great group of local and regional artists participate in the Lake Effect Art Gallery
every year, contributing a wide variety of artwork for
sale in many media -- original, quality work which results in a unique
collection of art and fine craft that strongly represents our area and
the talent of the artists.
It's just a fun
place to be!
The Lake Effect Art Gallery is staffed entirely by volunteers, many of
whom are the artists whose work is in the Gallery, so visitors have a
chance to speak with those directly involved. Profits from the Gallery
sales help fund our non-profit Lake Effect Community Arts' classes and
activities,
benefiting the community as well as our artists.
When you're done shopping at the
Gallery, visit our neighbors up and down and across the street, in
vibrant downtown Manistique.

Lake Effect Community Arts was formed in
2011 with one of the goals being to create a local art gallery to serve
the needs of those interested in the visual arts and the work of our
local artists, whether established or emerging, as well as members of
our community and visitors looking for inspiration, education, or an
opportunity to purchase.
