We warmly invite you to kick-off your holiday shopping and support local and Michigan artists at our beloved 23rd annual Holiday Artist Market! 

Engage with over 30 artists, shop unique gifts and fine art, and stroll through our exhibits during these free museum days. 

From traditional paintings to eye-catching ceramics and accessories made from textiles, metals, glass and more, there is truly a gift to be found for everyone. The Museum Store’s festive holiday display will feature handmade ornaments, felted wreaths, holiday cards, and Fair Trade gifts crafted by artisans around the world. 

This year’s juried market features some changes that past market-goers will want to make note of. These changes were made after much consideration and it was the desire of museum staff to better support our area artists. 

Artists will be handling all of their own sales in our Sculpture Court and Janis Room so come prepared to make your purchases at each booth. 

Additionally, Members will only receive discounts on Museum Store purchases.

Register with Extended Education, $39

All of us have family treasures that we have inherited or collected over the years. In this live workshop, learn how museum professionals take care of a wide range of artworks and objects, from sculptures and paintings to photographs and precious news clippings.

Discuss the different ways in which objects deteriorate, tips for mitigating loss, and what you can do to protect your precious belongings. Part lecture, part workshop, and part behind-the-scenes at the Dennos Museum Center.

Craig Hadley, Executive Director and Chief Curator at the Museum, will pique the interest of budding historians, preservationists, art historians - and anyone interested in learning something new. Bring your questions!
