Oliver Art Center

Elizabeth Lane Oliver Center for
the Arts, formerly Crystal Lake Art Center, has been a cultural cornerstone of
Benzie County since it was founded in 1948. It has moved buildings three times
in its history to accommodate growth, serve all patrons, and ensure delivery on
its mission to “maintain an educational program and facility for the
advancement of the arts, and to promote and develop visual, performing,
culinary, and literary arts.” The center is located in a renovated U.S. Coast
Guard Station at the mouth of the Betsie Bay, Frankfort where three floors
present exhibition galleries, spacious classrooms, a demonstration kitchen, an
outdoor deck, and ceramics studio, all of which are accessible to people with
disabilities. Join us for classes, special events and exhibits year round! Admission
to our gallery exhibits is always free.
