Amanda Barnett Director Our History The arts have had a presence in our community for many years. Over the last 35 years, many of the arts-related activities in the City of Northville have been either spearheaded or supported by a passionate group of volunteers through the Northville Arts Commission and has grown into the Art House. Founded in 1980, the Northville Arts Commission is a volunteer organization dedicated to “involve the community in all phases of the arts”. After 25 years, we were thrilled to find a home of our own at 215 W. Cady. Community volunteers spent almost 8 months cleaning and renovating the building to include a gallery, classroom, offices, and a small artisan store. We held a grand opening for the Northville Art House in March of 2005, and are thrilled to see how the space has grown over the last 13 years. We hope you enjoy the exhibits, classes, and artisan store as much as we do. Sue Taylor Chairperson, Northville Arts Commissions

Artisan Store Feature Artist Katlan Michalak Stop by the Artisan Store and see Katlans photographs. Katlan grew up in Ann Arbor, surrounded by art at a young age by her mother who made art herself. She would help out at her parents screen print shop observing the printmaking process first hand. Starting in high school, the first photography class set the path that would lead to what she creates today. After graduating from Eastern Michigan University with a Bachelors of Fine Arts her style started to take shape. It was a long journey of finding her style, but after realizing her love of texture she finally achieved a way of representing it though photography by using a double exposure technique in Photoshop. Each image becomes a complex system of layers that creates either a simple or unique narrative. Being an emerging artist I want to express a different way of seeing the world that inspire or evoke feelings in people no matter how simple or complex they may be. Katlans photographs will be in the Artisan store until the end of October.
