Every day in Traverse City is a good day to go out and look at art in the city. Our area has a lot of outdoor sculptures, shows, and murals by artists from all over the world. During your trip, we’d love to hear about any hidden gems you find.
This park is still one of the most beautiful things in northern Michigan. Michigan Legacy Art Park is tucked away in 30 wooded acres near Crystal Mountain. There are more than 50 sculptures and installations, a 1/4-mile accessible trail, and an amphitheater there, as well as more than 50 sculptures and installations.
There are a lot of Inuit art and artifacts at the Dennos Museum Center, which is why it is so well-known. But did you know that there are also sculptures outside? Most of the pieces in the collection are by Michigan artists, and they can be found at the museum and on the Northwestern Michigan College grounds.
While you’re downtown, don’t forget to look out for the sculptures that line the town center as well. Among other things, you’ll see a river guardian, a tribute to the Coast Guard, and so much more. TC Public Art has a list of both long-term and short-term exhibits.
