Welcome to the Button-Petter Gallery. In 2009, the two oldest fine art galleries
on the lakeshore merged into one and continues to offer a wide selection of art
including paintings, sculpture, ceramics, blown glass and prints.

Button Gallery moved to the Douglas lakeshore in June, 1966 from Walton Street
in Chicago. W. Russell Button & Associates purchased the Chicago branch of
Ackerman & Sons (founded 1783 in London) during the 1930ís. Arthur Frederick
and Carl Brainard purchased the gallery in 1985. Mr. Brainard retired in 1993 and
the gallery continues under the proprietorship of Arthur Frederick. Four years ago,
it was time to bid a fond farewell to the Center Street location with its beautiful
gardens and share the River Guild building with Joyce Petter.

Joyce Petter began her gallery as PRAJNA in Saugatuck in 1973 and then renovated
the Carl Hoerman designed building in Douglas as her new site in 1993. In 2007,
Mrs. Petter retired and the galleries are now one featuring over 10,000 sq. ft. of
show space plus an outdoor sculpture garden.

The gallery represents over 80 artists both regional and national in reputation.
We look forward to your visiting the gallery on your next trip to the Saugatuck-
Douglas area. We know you wonít be disappointed!
