Browse Art and Sip Wine at J. Petter Galleries in Douglas, MI
One of Saugatuck’s most interesting destinations is J. Petter Galleries, a 12,000-square-foot fine art gallery that displays local artists in tandem with the wine gallery. An unusual find for any art enthusiast and wine lover, the combined Petter Art and Wine Galleries were once the Historic River Guild Gallery Center on Blue Star Highway in Douglas. Home to more than 60 award-winning artists, the bright blue building is the centerpiece of creativity for Saugatuck and Douglas. Stop in to browse artwork for an empty space in your home or to replace the old painting over the mantel while sipping from a glass of wine.
From acrylic and watercolor to glass, stone, and ceramics, the Petter Art Gallery includes artists from all over the world. Artists’ work can often be found in fine art galleries, national and international museums, professional publications, and private collections. Visit the website to view all artists displaying their work at the gallery.
Besides the curated art gallery, enjoy the thoughtfully curated collection of artisan fine wines at the Petter Gallery boutique wine bar, open starting in March. Chow down on an artfully presented charcuterie or cheese board. Savor a glass as you stroll through the fine art gallery, relax outdoors, or sit back in the lower gallery’s art garden. Taste test the 2017 season’s Top Ten, like the dry Mont Marcal Cava and Dipinti Pinot Grigio, or pick your own from the constantly rotating wine menu.
