Hammond Bay Art Studio opened the
doors of its latest endeavor, Domaci Gallery, on
November 23rd, 2006. The gallery features the work
of several contemporary artists and artisans as well
as the work of owners Tim and Mary Pritchard. Many
of the artists represented in the gallery are local
Michigan artists, but also included are artists from
as far away as Oberdorla, Germany.
Throughout the year the gallery hosts Featured Artist events where the artist
is celebrated at an opening reception and the public is able to meet the creator
of works on display. Live music is a new addition to the gallery. Once a month
on Sundays, musicians perform for those who come to enjoy an intimate acoustic
concert. It is the goal of the gallery to continue adding events that inspire
and experimenting with new ideas.
Many wonder where the gallery got its name. Domaci means home in Slovakian, the
heritage of owner Mary Pritchard who was born and raised in Rogers City where
the gallery is located.
