There’s nothing ArtPod hates more than humidity. Don’t even mention the word “frizz” right now.
And since so much of southern Michigan swings between flash flooding to feeling like a sauna, ArtPod is doing what all true Michiganders do: heading up north.

Petoskey has a humming arts community in its own right, one that draws artists and art buyers from across Michigan, even out of state.
