The arts scene in the Ludington region is vibrant and connects the community to a range of cultural attractions

Drawing, pottery, fiber sculptures, painting, jewelry and other objects of original fine arts abound in the area’s galleries and shops.

The Waterfront Sculpture Park features art you can touch along the harbor walk as well as a band shell with free concerts. The Ludington Mural Society showcases the city’s history in a series of murals depicting early American scenes on building facades. Nearly 70 professional and aspiring artists turned sheets of masonite and discarded piles of window frames into an artistic expression as part of the Ludington Area Arts Council’s “Windows of our Lives” project, located in downtown Ludington. Also in downtown Ludington, the City Park plays host to the West Shore Art League’s Fine Arts and Crafts Show the first weekend in July and the Chamber of Commerce’s artisans fair in August. Dozens of antique shops in the region hold treasures from the artisans of yesteryear.
