Featured Artist at Art Is In Market
Betty Arnold is one of the photographers at our Twelve Oaks Mall location. Betty said, "My passion is capturing special moments in nature.
As a child, I was fascinated by my father’s ability to spot lady slippers peeping up from under the leaves or a bird’s nest virtually hidden from view. Some of my fondest memories are of walks with him in the East Tennessee mountains and finding those treasures in the woods.
I was born in North Carolina, grew up in Tennessee and have lived in Michigan most of my adult life. I currently live in Brighton and am always ready for new adventures in photography.
Observing creatures in the wild and learning their behaviors have been a life long joy for me. My photography focuses on the beauty around us and expressions in nature that are often overlooked by the casual observer."

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: Novi's Art Is In Market at 12 Oaks Mall, Livonia's Art Is In Market at Laurel Park Place, and our newest location, Clinton Twp's Art Is In Market at The Mall at Partridge Creek. Stop by and pay us a visit! |
The Latest Trend in Art
The latest trend we are seeing in Michigan art is anything related to Detroit. It seems to bring nostalgia for times gone by. Detroit has inspired and touched many of us. We are living in times which are busier than ever before. We are bombarded with a vast array of communication options such as texting, cell phones, Facebook, Twitter, and email, just to name a few. So it seems that to be able to stop and reflect on simpler times through a picture, a painting, a sculpture, or even a tee shirt, brings a much-needed smile to our faces.
We have found our customers are asking for Detroit focused art because people who are born and raised in Michigan have a passion for all that Detroit has to offer. As the rebuilding and revival of Detroit is taking place, some of our well known past landmarks have disappeared, such as the ‘Enjoy Detroit’ wall (which was painted over), Hudson's, and Olympia Stadium. Art Is In Market captures the spirit of Detroit and those unique images of the Joe Louis fist, the Better Maid Potato Chips Factory, the Fox Theater, and Tiger Stadium, along with icons you would remember such as Vernors, Saunders, Detroit Lions, and Tigers. |
