Things are Getting Exciting!

Things are getting exciting! We have expanded our jewelry selection. Joel built a beautiful new case and our first occupants have arrived.

Let me tell you about a couple of our new jewelry artists. Joanna Craft was the first artist that we fell in love with at the American Craft show.  If you are looking for a statement piece, these are it! Wonderful modern silver and enamel pieces in fun colors.

Maggie Bokor is known for her elegant organic jewelry. She believes in the heirloom quality of her work and loves to hear how her jewelry has touched someone’s heart. Maggie’s originals are designed with metal clay then her designs are cast in sterling silver. For summer we are carrying her silver birch line with topaz and her dewdrop collection with freshwater pearls. Maggie is an active mentor with fellow artisans and a true believer in following your dreams.

Giving Gifts: It Isn’t Just The Thought That Counts!

 

Giving gifts that are truly memorable is an art. Last minute shopping, picking something that seems like it “might just work,” and thinking of holiday shopping as a chore are sure ways to make your gifts seem like they were chosen out of necessity.

 

Making a gift truly meaningful takes not only a true understanding of the person who you’re shopping for but also requires dedication! In our family it’s Aunt Lois who’s known as the perfect gift giver. Why? Because she shops all year round to find the perfect items: she might just buy a gift for a niece, nephew, or in-law in the middle of July!

 

But you don’t have that luxury if you’re shopping for unique gifts this time of year. It’s already late November so you need to find that special something now. You can at Somebody’s Gallery in downtown Petoskey: we’ve dedicated our gallery not just to beautiful art, but to beautiful functional art made by a variety of artists!

 

Who Are You Shopping For?

 

Your traditional impression of northern Michigan art galleries is probably one that reminds you of certain people: an aunt, your mom, or maybe a niece that loves unique, artistic arts and fashion. We do carry those things but that isn’t all: we have artistic gifts for the whole family!

 

 Shopping For A Woman In The Family?

 

We all know the woman that loves to host holiday parties and gatherings. Why not give her a beautiful fish-shaped cutting board, some wonderful hand made wooden bowls, or unique pottery? Entertaining doesn’t have to involve hauling out boring old dishes that are kept for special occasions: it can be unique and fun!

 

There’s also great gifts for the fashion-conscious member of your family. Those with eclectic tastes will love our silk wallets crafted from unique varieties of old sari scraps. We also have crochet earrings, recycled sweater hats and mittens, unique clothing items, and a variety of beautiful jewelry that is sure to fit anyone’s unique style.

 

You Can Find Stuff For Men Here Too!

 

Functional Michigan art isn’t just for women: we have a number of items that are great for men as well. From watches and clocks to mugs and beautiful wooden boxes we can cater to a variety of tastes. Some of our men’s items would be great for the study, some for the art studio, and some for simply enjoying around the house on a weekend.

 

Children’s Gifts For Boys And Girls

 

Teaching children to enjoy well-made, sustainable gifts is another great present to give them. We have a lot of great gifts for your young ones that will make this holiday season not just one to remember, but also one to have for years and years.

 

We have earth-friendly stuffed animals made from recycled sweaters, one-of-a-kind hand puppets and toys, and even wooden rattles and comb cotton socks for infants.

 

That’s Not All Somebody’s Gallery Can Offer

 

Our focus on sustainable, useable, and beautiful items doesn’t end there. We would love to see you at our downtown Petoskey gallery so we can show you everything we have to offer! Giving suggestions and helping you find that perfect gift is just one more thing we excel at, so don’t hesitate to show now, or even at the last minute.

 

We can make you THE gift-giver in your family at Somebody’s Gallery! Stop in today or contact us by phone at (231) 881-4745! You can also reach us by filling out our contact form. We look forward to seeing you soon! 

Welcome to Somebody's Gallery!

No art gallery is complete without a way to find out more about us online, so welcome to our web home!

I've wanted to open an art gallery for years, and I'm excited to finally have a chance to show off some of the work of my favorite artists. I've been involved in the local arts community since Joel and I moved to Petoskey 19 years ago, and in that time I've met some amazing and talented individuals whom I've admired greatly. When I finally had a chance to open my own gallery I contacted each and every one of them to see if they'd want to be included, and I'm thrilled to be able to work directly with my friends and colleagues at Somebody's Gallery!

This is just the start of our website launch, and changes will continue to come over time. We'll be honing and fine-tuning your web experience to make this site an integral part of the business, so be sure to check back often! 

I hope to see you at the gallery soon!
