Seasons at the Lakeshore

Experience the Art Coast

Visit this current exhibit to experience Michigan through its changing seasons in the comfort of the galleries at the History Center in Douglas. Open since the fall of 2024, this art exhibition “Seasons at the Lakeshore” presents more than two dozen artworks from the Center’s permanent collection. The artworks on view allow visitors to experience the Lakeshore through the eyes of artists who have worked there for more than a century.

Be inspired by the changing seasons—summer, fall, and winter—seen in the forests, dunes, water, and townscapes that make the Lakeshore a scenic and historic place for artists and art lovers.

The exhibit showcases a diversity of artworks by artists, including Anne Corlett, Peggy Boyce, Robert Fort, Carl Hoerman, Albert Krehbiel, Cora Bliss Taylor, and more. Artworks include oil paintings, pastels, etchings, lithographs, and watercolors.
