Traverse City's Best Art Gallery.Gallery Fifty's focus is on the marketing of functional art and fine craft to the visitors and residents of Northern Michigan. The media mix includes ceramics, glass, fiber, metal, wood, painting, photography, furniture and lighting. An emphasis has been put on art jewelry. Gallery Fifty was founded in November 2004 by Christiaane (Christie) Litt Minervini. The 850 sq. ft. gallery/ studio space is located in historic "Building 50," a 19th century insane asylum formerly known as the Traverse City State Hospital. Photographer Heidi Johnson chronicled the history of the hospital in her book, "Angels in the Architecture, A Photographic Elegy to an American Asylum" (2001, Great Lakes Books).
