This category has it all: music, visual arts, photography, knitting, and performance art. Choosing the arts is an amazing way to add all of the festive feels of the holiday season to someone’s life.

Visual Arts & Hand-crafted Gifts:

  • Get all of the supplies you need for knitting and crocheting at Nautical Yarn – from yarn and needles to instructions and gift certificates.
  • Looking for a painting, pottery piece or wall hanging? Art exhibits are on display every month at Ludington Area Center for the Arts, where many of the projects are on sale to the public. An Art of Giving Holiday Artist Market will also be held from November 24-December 16.
  • Find hand-turned pottery at Red Door Gallery from mugs and bowls to vases and wall art. For 20 years, this eclectic business has been providing the best pottery and blown-glass art to the community.

      Shops inside The Port Ludington:

  • Shop HumaniTea for sustainable artisan gifts from around the world – and purchasing gifts from HumaniTea supports human-trafficking victims and efforts to eradicate modern human slavery. 
  • Hand-crafted candles and products from House and Harbor will have all the scents of the season, making this the perfect gift for someone’s home or office. Drop-in candle-making is also offered for your group party or an individual opportunity to create a hand-made project. 
  • Stop by Avenue’s End Mini Mall for products made by local artisans and crafters. Find custom gifts and decor, t-shirts, tumblers, wooden flowers and more.

Photography

  • Visitors and locals alike will be amazed at the professional quality of the Reeds’ photography studio, featuring wall and desk prints of shots taken in the local area. Todd & Brad Reed Photography also has beautiful photo books, greeting cards, magnets, ornaments and more.  

Music

  • A trusted source for music for 40 years, Instrumental Music & Sound has gifts for the musician or future musician in your life: guitars, gig bags, amps, pedals, drums, cymbals, pianos and accessories. This location is a one-stop shop for creatives.
  • Tickets to a show at Ludington Area Center for the Arts are another great gift. A full lineup of events will also be released for 2024.
