Art Is In Market Opens at Briarwood Mall in Ann Arbor Michigan
The locally owned shop opened in the 10,000-square-foot space formerly occupied by Forever 21. The fashion retailer relocated to a larger space in August and now carries men’s clothing.
Art Is In Market, founded in 2005 by artist Debbie La Pratt, showcases work from more than 60 Michigan artists. La Pratt turned the concept from a pop-up holiday shop to a year-round store after finding strong demand for work from Michigan artists.
The idea behind Art Is In Market, according to the store’s website, is that customers can “shop and experience Michigan art from a wide variety of mediums and styles.”
Items featured in the Briarwood Mall store include: paintings, pottery, sculptures, furniture, jewelry, clothing, photography and Detroit sports memorabilia. Some items are Michigan-themed, such as photographs and paintings of Detroit and clothing that advertises state pride.
“We know this community is proud to support locally owned retailers, and Art Is In Market is filled with beautiful, one-of-a-kind works of art,” said Denise Murray, director of marketing and business development for Briarwood, in a statement.
Art Is In Market also has locations at 12 Oaks Mall, Laurel Park Place and the Mall at Partridge Creek.

What is Art Is In Market
Art Is In Market is more than an art gallery, more than a "Michigan Store", and far more than a gift shop. Imagine your favorite art show that comes along only once a year. Now imagine that show being open all year long! Founded in 2005 with the idea of giving Michigan Artists a new type of opportunity to display their work, it has been hailed a success by many, including Channel 4 News Best Art Gallery of 2012.
From the moment you step into any one of the three stores you will be greeted by the Artists themselves. Because you will always be talking to one of the Artists, a unique phenomena will be discovered along the way...a free flowing exchange of ideas. Often customers and artists walk away from a visit with newfound ideas, inspiration and perhaps even a new direction for their art. As a result, Art Is In Market is a constantly changing and evolving store, and is never quite the same, even from day-to-day. With art ranging from jewelry, clothing, photography, books, and Detroit sports, to pottery, painting and perhaps even a few things that can't be defined, that one-of-a-kind gift for every person, or occasion can nearly always be found. There are three locations to serve you: Livonia's Art Is In Market at Laurel Park Place, Novi's Art Is In Market at 12 Oaks Mall, and Clinton Twp's Art Is In Market at The Mall at Partridge Creek.
