Yes!! The arts are SO important and what would River Country be without them? Before, we talked about their historic Riviera Theatre, but there's more!
Open Door Gallery in the heart of downtown Sturgis displays original artwork, both modern and contemporary, as well as unique gifts from regional guests. The Open Door policy at the gallery means you don't just have to watch. You can participate in the classes for all ages, see the student shows or view the work of guest artists and exhibits. You can also help Open Door Gallery keep its doors open by donating supplies and materials, volunteering your time and your talents, attending Open Door events, and of course contributing financially.
Since the Gallery is supported solely by volunteer efforts, every bit counts to support their mission to "Encourage, Enable and Educate about the arts in Sturgis and the surrounding area; to provide a supportive environment for artists, to engage the community in artistic pursuits, and to encourage the exploration and cultivation of individual creative visions. The Gallery also continues to rejuvenate one of the oldest buildings in Sturgis."
Because the gallery is serious about displaying artists in the regional area, every artist whose work is shown in the gallery lives within a 50 mile radius of Sturgis, MI.
