Permanent Collection Gallery

Enjoy our virtual gallery of the permanent collection at the Copper Country Community Arts Center.  Click on the image for more information about the piece and scroll to the bottom of the page for information about donors.

If you would like to help make it possible to purchase work significant to the history of art in the Copper Country please consider a designated gift. If you have work in your collection that you would like to donate, we are primarily interested in work by local artists that capture the essence of the Copper Country or that document historic events, landmarks, or lifestyle. The opportunity to locate and acquire early local artists is becoming scarce; we are looking for work by Alden Steck, Mabel Mustonen, Evelyn Carter, Alice Reynolds, Paul Osmak, and others. Please help us secure an art legacy.  Contact cynthia@coppercountryarts.com for inquires.
