Nestled in the picturesque eastern Upper Peninsula of Michigan, the Hessel School House – Avery Arts & Nature Learning Center stands as a beacon of creativity and inspiration for artists of all mediums. Originally a historic schoolhouse from 1938 – 1958, the center has been lovingly restored to provide a nurturing environment where art and nature intertwine harmoniously. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Upper Peninsula, the Hessel School House offers a tranquil place where artists can immerse themselves in the natural world and unleash their creative spirits. With a mission to cultivate a deep connection between art, nature, and community, the Hessel School House – Avery Arts & Nature Learning Center invites individuals to explore, create, and be inspired in this idyllic setting. Join us on a journey of artistic discovery and environmental appreciation as we celebrate the union of art and nature in this serene haven of inspiration.
