- General Info
- Gallery Fifty's focus is on the marketing of functional art and fine craft to the visitors and residents of northern Michigan. The media mix includes ceramics, glass, fiber, metal, wood, painting, photography, furniture and lighting. An emphasis has been put on art jewelry. Gallery Fifty was founded in November 2004 by Christiane ( Christie ) Litt Minervini. The 850 sq. ft. gallery/ studio space is located in historic Building 50, a 19th century insane asylum formerly known as the Traverse City State Hospital. Photographer Heidi Johnson chronicled the history of the hospital in her book, "Angels in the Architecture, A Photographic Elegy to an American Asylum" ( 2001, Great Lakes Books ). Ms. Minervini's vision for the gallery is a space that honors the history of the building. Themes of antiquity and mystery, work created with aged materials or made to look old, found art and recycled or repurposed pieces are given special prominence. A select group of 75 regional and North American artists are on represented through the gallery. In addition, a monthly exhibition of fine art is programmed in the show space between the gallery and its fine dining neighbor, Trattoria Stella.
