Art Galleries near Elk Rapids, MI

“You have to stop here when visiting Northern Michigan and the Elk Rapids area! I love the beautiful array of artwork in Barb's shop. While I miss seeing and talking to Alanna when visiting, Barb is always friendly. The artwork in here is gorgeous. There's pottery, steel sculptures, blown glass, fine jewelry, and more - perfect for a one-of-a-kind gift!”

“Blue Heron Gallery is truly wonderful. We come to our summer cottage on Elk Lake every summer, and always make sure to stop in. Dan is an absolute gem, and his watercolor works are really something special. It’s really impressive that he’s able to compile so many local artists in one spot.

My wife and I always prefer originals to prints, and we know that usually comes at a cost. In this case, we were very pleasantly surprised. All of the art, specifically the originals, were very affordably priced. So much so that we were able to leave with 5 pieces, all framed and wired perfectly.

On top of this all, Dan knew we were taking these back to our primary home in Indiana, so he took the time to wrap them up so they wouldn’t get damaged in travel.

They are now hanging in our home, and make us smile while every time we see them. Everything there is wonderful, but I must say, 2 of the 5 we purchased were original Watercolors of Dan’s, and those are our favorite.

Incredible human, wonderful gallery, and immensely talented. Please stop in, you’d be doing yourself a disservice otherwise.”

“Exceeded all expectations! Quality materials, workmanship and customer service. Highly recommend and will use (maybe even visit the shop) in the future. Thank you Tonya and Rick.”
