When we were in last weekend and came across a lovely big wood table with iron scroll base, I pictured it in our dining room and at that moment, realized that every other piece of furniture in our dining room came from North Seas ! Now it will be complete. We have a few other pieces scattered around the house plus a lovely little piece of pottery that I would love to find more pieces of. Visiting North Seas Gallery is one of the highlights of our trips north; the McCarthy's are lovely people and very accommodating in every way.

Absolutely stunning! This gallery has such a wide variety and well curated selection of artists…read more From pottery and ceramics to oil and watercolor. Every medium is a well represented here. The staff is friendly and inviting, and you can tell that they take a lot of pride and what they do. There is art for nearly every price range and the pieces that command more are definitely worth the investment. Beautiful art, and beautiful scenery.

This place is impressive. An old school house transformed into an Art Gallery. I would say most of…read morethe items are more on the knick knack side of things then hang on your wall art. Now saying knick knacks I don't mean cheap crap. I mean extremely high quality pieces of free standing art! However such high quality mean $$$. There was an awesome hanging dragon on a swing that was only maybe 8" tall and it was $75, lol that about 50 over my budget. They had an amazing bench made of concrete, but looked like wood, for $2,000. Plus an super detailed metal bird bath for almost $800. Is the art worth it, of course that's in the eye of the beholder, I think it is. Overall a 5 star review. Would I return? You betcha! Especially if I made a much better wage. Once again it is an outstanding collection art.

My mother has been interested in weaving for awhile now. There's an exhibit until mid-May at this…read moremuseum that's all about weaving. So, we made the little drive up here to immerse ourselves into the art. It was really cool. Some pieces are wall hangings, and there are baskets and sculpture, too.

Be it glasswork, textiles, woodwork, jewelry, painting/sketches or other mediums there is something for everyone interested in obtaining locally-made art and craftwork. Personally, I am primarily interested in glasswork and look forward to stopping in again when I'm in the area.

Very impressive curriculum vitaes! Anyway, this place has unique art - whether it is totem poles, jewely, paintings, etc., from local artists.

This is located in beautiful Cross Village, Michigan - if you go through the Tunnel of Trees from Petoskey to Cross Village do try to stop in!

Cycling Salamander looks like the gallery that would be in a romantic comedy set in Northern…read moreMichigan. Which is to say, it is picture perfect. In addition to the main gallery, the Cycling Salamander consists of a lovely sculpture garden and a special exhibit that is shown in certain rooms of the owner's (picture perfect) house. The art on display consists of two dimensional and tree dimensional art at a variety of price points, from unique pottery and textiles that one could purchase on impulse, to substantial paintings and sculpture from regionally well known artists. I understand that the gallery also hosts musical events and offers classes and workshops. I wish I lived close enough to participate! I am really tempted to give Cycling Salamander five stars, and the only reason I'm not is the plethora of wonderful galleries in the Petoskey area.

The gallery itself has a smart art display on right now (summer 2011) featuring pieces made from found/recycled and/or sustainable materials. There's a people's choice voting too, be sure to do that. There are a few etsy items as well, hats, bracelet cuffs, and skirts. I also saw jewelry and notecards. I may have to return to buy a t-shirt, I really wanted one but the 20$ seemed high. Then again, it's nice to support the local yokels.
