Petoskey FAQ

Do you offer parking?

We do not offer parking, although there is available street parking managed by the City of Petoskey. Meter parking is available on Division, Lake, Mitchell, and Waukazoo streets, while free parking can be found a few streets over in the more residential areas including Woodland Avenue and Williams Street.

What populations do you serve?

While everyone is welcome to visit our galleries and participate in our programs, we primarily serve residents across five counties, including communities such as Harbor Springs, Alanson, Charlevoix, Boyne City, East Jordan, Cheboygan, and other nearby areas.

Can I use your studio space without signing up for a class?

At the current moment, we do not allow drop-in use of our studio spaces outside of our scheduled Saturday Open Studio, which is a loosely guided, family-friendly arts activity program. If you are an artist interested in utilizing our studio to further your work outside of a classroom atmosphere, we do offer our Kitchen Painters artist group that meets Thursdays from noon to 3:00 PM. They welcome artists of all levels, across all painting mediums.

We are looking for a venue for our wedding - do you do event rentals?
