The Anton Art Center Review

One of the gems of Mt. Clemens, my wife and I visit here during the holidays to pick up artsy gifts. Free parking and just off southbound Gratiot. All the volunteers are always very helpful.

It would be nice if classes were offered for teens 13 to 15 years old. Everything is 6 to 12 and 16 years to adult.

Beautiful local art. Great community gem, historical old building and fabulous team.

Phil gave our group an informative tour and the Holiday Shop had a nice selection of items to purchase.

A really nice art gallery in the middle of downtown Mt Clemens.

Wonderful selection of art to purchase created by local artists. The volunteer staff are top notch, too

My family had such a great time coming here. It's free, and the art pieces are absolutely fantastic.

I visited two weeks ago for the first time in a few years and I was impressed with the talent of local secondary school students. They filled the two floors with art of different mediums from students 7th-12th grade. I m glad that a place like the Anton Art Center exists to give students and local artists a place to display their artwork for the general public. For a free museum they really display the work nicely. I highly encourage anyone to visit and to donate what they re able to support this great institution!

Some of the artwork is really good. Stairs to second floor gallery are a workout, so some visitors may want to use the elevator. This is a cherished part of classic Mt. Clemens.

Special institution valuing arts for all of Macomb County and greater Detroit.

I enjoyed its very much especially at Christmas time

Beautiful building with nice sized gift shop, and lots of art and fun events!

This place is a gem! Nestled in downtown Mount Clemens, part of the Center is in the city's historic library and part of it has all the amenities of a modern space. It offers art shows, holiday craft fairs, wonderful classes and a fabulous gift shop. Staff is professional and friendly. Keep an eye open for all the creative community events they sponsor too. Positive vibes found here.

Great education series. A variety of offerings and cool monthly activities!

Good top notch tire and full line auto care products.

What a great place. Go for a visit if you haven't yet.

Fantastic Art Center! Excellent student art show in the spring! It's worth a visit! Plus, they offer art classes in their studio all year round for adults and children!! Win win! I'm an art teacher in Macomb County and the attached photo is a painting my 3rd grade student painted... he received BEST IN GRADE!

Went for the 50th anniversary SatARTday celebration which was our first time ever visiting Anton Art Center-- they did not disappoint. Live music and crafts for kids. Plus some really great art on display and for sale. They also have excellent classes for the community. Definitely a gem hidden in Mt. Clemens.

The art center is super boring, they don't have much on display as far as like a museum would. It's two poke gyms, that's about it lol

The talent IN ART THAT THESE KIDS DISPLAY IS FANTASTIC.GO CHECK IT OUT AND BE W0WED

There is a lot to see. Wonderful art and a diverse gift shop. The staff are friendly and very helpful. There is some event always happening for everyone in the family.

An unbelievable collection of beautiful artwork and handmade gifts.

The place is beautiful and has different events. I just love going there just to look around. The staff is very friendly!!!

Stopped in for a business meeting and absolutely fell in love. The Anton Art Center is such a fun building, filled with history on top of the artwork from the many renowned artists.

Just got to look a bit - lovely structure, great history, outstanding service to the community and local arts groups, schools. Phil Gilchrist, Director, is a super person!

Very beautiful and humble local art gallery. The displays are changed often so there is always reason to come back.

The Anton Art Gallery is an amazing experience in so many different artistic expressions. Dont hesitate to stop by and view how rich our local art community truly is.

This hidden gem has a year round gift shop stocked with unique items. Browse the current exhibit, then pick up some high end artisan goods on your way out!

My daughter and I attended one of their Super SARTdays and had a great time! There were a variety of art projects to make for kids of all ages; origami, painted rocks, buttons, to name a few.

Enjoyable classes anf good events and display shows.

It's a great place to take a pottery class! The studio manager and instructor Deanna is fantastic too. You'll never look at a piece of pottery the same. Lots of nice people taking class too!

Achieving higher goals all the time under the leadership of Director Phil Gilchrist and Exhibition Manager Stephanie Hazard.

If you like art this is a nice local place to go and visit always rotating pieces and exhibits

I love this place. I can't wait to enter my art pieces here.

I'm taking a wheel throwing class here and I love it. The instructor is super helpful and knowledgeable and everyone in the class is great. I'm so glad I found this place!

They are currently seeing up new exhibits, so they are closed...

Anton is a hidden gem,in My Clemons.Worth your while to visit. I was surprised that they hadn't done their homework,on their website,though, because it said it was open,but it was not.

One of a kind pieces of art. A wonderful place to find something special for a holiday gift.

They always have great things on display. And fun events for the kids.

The Anton Art Center was open for its Holiday Market. A lot of different mediums and artists!! Price ranges from below $20 up!! Your sure to find a original one of a kind piece of art..be it in a wool scarf to seasonal pottery. Great gifts to be had. Also had a featured artist and her works.

Totally enjoyed the juried exhibit of Mi artists. Also great gift shop.

Still a great selection of crafts and art work. Plus 10% off!

My daughter loves it. Saturday's and ceramics. Teachers are really great, especially the ceramics teacher. I was late once and she was so cool and understanding...she'll always have my appreciation and admiration!

Great local artists work displayed here and wonderful gift shop...

Outstanding work Especially the upper floor of Mino;s Art Christmas show so outstanding fine detail. A truly must see for art lovers.

I love visiting here! Very cool place to visit while downtown!

Andrew Carnegie built 2,509 free public libraries throughout the English speaking world, and the Mount Clemens Public Library on the corner of North, Grand and Macomb Streets, was one of them. His offer was simple, and it became known as the Carnegie Formula : he would put up the money to build a free library in a city if the city agreed to spend at least 10% of that amount each year to support it. In 1902 Carnegie wrote that Mount Clemens was a go-ahead city, and he offered $15,000 to build a library if the city would spend at least $1,500 annually in its support. Construction was begun in 1903 and the building was opened in 1904. It is of neo-classical design, highlighted by its red tile roof and Doric columns, and is one of the finest of its kind in Macomb County. The main floor included a public reading room and two wings, each with its own wood burning stove. In 1913 a half balcony with a glass block floor was added, and in 1929 the basement was converted into a children s room and the children s collection was moved there. In May, 1969 the library moved to its current building on Cass Avenue.

Our young budding artist has experienced excellent instruction and a lot of fun in the children's workshops and cannot wait to take more classes.

A fantastic place to see great art from awesome local artists

Wonderful showcases of work, all for free. Donations encouraged!

All 3 kids loved the ceramics class taught by Deanna.
