Executive Director Erin Maten Our History The arts have had a presence in our community for many years. Over the last 35 years, many of the arts-related activities in the City of Northville have been either spearheaded or supported by a passionate group of volunteers through the Northville Arts Commission and has grown into the Art House. Founded in 1980, the Northville Arts Commission is a volunteer organization dedicated to “involve the community in all phases of the arts”. After 25 years, we were thrilled to find a home of our own at 215 W. Cady. Community volunteers spent almost 8 months cleaning and renovating the building to include a gallery, classroom, offices, and a small artisan store. We held a grand opening for the Northville Art House in March of 2005, and are thrilled to see how the space has grown over the last 14 years. We hope you enjoy the exhibits, classes, and artisan store as much as we do. Sue Taylor Chairperson, Northville Arts Commissions
