The world of online entrepreneurship has opened so many doors since the Internet first became a household word that the benefits created are incalculable. But for one Beulah woman, the benefits of the doors the Internet helped open for her are as real as the brick and mortar art gallery she recently opened.
Mary Lane began her
Live for Art gallery online with hopes of promoting artistic expression. Now, she's continuing that mission with her new location in downtown Beulah.
"I am tremendously excited about opening an art gallery in downtown Beulah because I feel that I have an incredible opportunity to promote Great Lakes artists and to build lasting relationships with the community," says Lane. "I feel passionate about the creative process and I want to capitalize on the year-round traffic that Beulah has by bringing art alive through interactive activities. The gallery will have an open, warm, inviting feel that fosters a love of art and the creative process."
Live for Art Gallery is a unique studio experience showcasing distinctive artistry for new and existing collections. Artist statement videos are featured to provide an understanding of each artist's intentions and creative process. Guests are also encouraged to become engaged in the creative process through monthly interactive activities.
At the opening, the gallery will showcase pieces from Robert Amato, Diane Budzynowski, Shane Crabtree, Jess Czerny, Nate Greenwood, Carole Lewis, Scott Markle, Jane McElroy, Mary Kay Niemeic and Ben Wolfe. Gallery art will consist of paintings, mixed media collages, pottery and photography with additional mediums and artists being added as the gallery plants roots in Beulah and continues to grow.
Live for Art Gallery will be open year-round. During summer hours, the gallery will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Winter hours will be Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
