In our newly expanded 2,200 sq. ft. galleries, we represent a select group of 150 regional and North American artists and designers showing their original fine art, contemporary craft, studio jewelry and handcrafted gifts. Adjacent to the galleries, in northern Michigan's largest fine art venue, The Mercato, we host a quarterly art exhibition series often showcasing group or theme shows.

At any given time, we're showing the work of thirty-five of the nation's most respected studio jewelers and designers... from those working with sterling silver and found materials to high-karat gold and gemstones. Perhaps we are best known for our outstanding selection of studio jewelry and art-to-wear, including James Blanchard's "Fordite" or "Detroit Agate". Created from layers of automotive paint and collected from the spray booths in the late 1970s, these one-of-a-kind jewelry designs are exclusive to Gallery Fifty.
