Our Story

AuSable Artisan Village of Grayling, MI is a non-profit art center, established in 2010. The once damaged building on Michigan Ave. had been sitting vacant for 10 years, and establishing the gallery marked a major development in the revitalization of downtown Grayling.

AAV is almost entirely volunteer-run.

Mission

To initiate and support art & creative activities that enrich lives and fuel cultural & economic development of the Grayling community and Northern Michigan region.
