Vertin Gallery  
Cal
umet, Michigan
The Vertin Gallery was built as Vertin's Department Store at the center of downtown Calumet in 1885. Vertin Brothers & Co. closed as a result of mine closings, and the st1:place>st1:PlaceName>Vertin Building remained vacant until the Fall of 2004.
In 1992 parts of the area were designed as the Keweenaw Nation Historical Park, the
Historic Vertin Building was a part of such an area.
In the Fall of 2004, Ed Gray, a well established potter from Fennville arrived and rented the second floor of the Vertin Builing for studio space. Within months the studio had a core creative family of artists exhibiting work in a Gallery set on the first floor of the
Vertin Building.

Working studios for artists were set upon the second and third floors as well, and as of Fall 2005 the Gallery and
Vertin Building

hosts more than 50 artists, and the cavernous building is starting to feel the strains from it's busy tenants. Website
