Art Pontiac — Where Creativity Flourishes

Art Pontiac is a vibrant, community‑driven non‑profit arts organization rooted in more than three decades of dedication to creativity, connection, and artistic celebration in the Pontiac region. At the heart of our cultural landscape is the historic Stone School in Portage‑du‑Fort — a beautiful 19th‑century limestone building that now serves as a welcoming arts hub where creativity, community, and heritage come together.

Stone School Gift Shop — Treasures to Celebrate Creativity

Step into the Stone School Gift Shop, where creativity is on full display. Visitors can discover an ever‑changing selection of unique, handcrafted works made by local and regional artist members. From pottery and textiles to jewelry, sculpture, books, and artisan crafts, the shop celebrates the passion and skill of makers working across artistic disciplines. Every purchase helps support these creators and fuels Art Pontiac’s mission to nurture and grow the arts in our region.

Pontiac School of Arts — Learning, Creating, Inspiring

The Pontiac School of Arts is the educational heart of Art Pontiac. Designed for artists and learners of all ages and skill levels, the school offers workshops, hands‑on classes, and learning opportunities that span traditional techniques and contemporary practices. Whether you’re drawn to painting, ceramics, creative writing, printmaking, or mixed media, the school’s inclusive programming invites people from all walks of life to create, explore, and express their stories.

The Gallery in the School — Showcasing Diverse Voices

Inside the Stone School building you’ll find The Gallery in the School, an inviting exhibition space dedicated to presenting a wide range of artistic voices. Exhibitions feature works by emerging and established artists from the Pontiac region and beyond, embracing diversity in style, medium, and theme. This inclusive gallery champions the belief that art has many forms and that every voice contributes to the rich tapestry of creative expression.

Supporting All Forms of Art

Art Pontiac proudly supports all art types — from literature and visual arts to performance, craft, and beyond. We believe artistic expression is as varied as the people who create it, and we work to cultivate spaces where creativity can flourish without boundaries.

At Art Pontiac, art happens here — in every brushstroke, written word, gallery wall, workshop, and conversation that brings people together.
