Galleries Highlighting Local Artists

Stuff We Love

Feb. 14, 2026

Around the North, several galleries have put local artists front and center. Oliver Art Center’s annual Regional Student Art Exhibition in Frankfort showcases hundreds of works created by northern Michigan students in grades K-12 (now through March 6). The Dennos Museum Center in Traverse hosts Twelve-by-Twelve, an exhibit by Interlochen Arts Academy students and faculty with creations that fit in a twelve-inch cube (now through April 1). Charlevoix Circle of Arts brings the perspectives of emerging young artists with Spotlight on Innovation, a regional high school exhibition (now through Feb. 21). And at Petoskey’s Crooked Tree Arts Center, you can find both the Crooked Tree Photographic Society’s annual exhibition and the Artist Guild Member Salon Show, which features the work of 118 guild members in NoMi and beyond (both run through Feb. 21). Visit each gallery’s website for winter hours of operation.
