Last Updated 8/18/2025Posted in Featured Events

Local artist, Olivia Colletti, in partnership with the Ortonville Downtown Development Authority (DDA) is thrilled to announce the first annual Art at the Mill, a brand-new signature event that celebrates the rich blend of creativity, history, and small-town spirit that makes Ortonville so special.

This exciting event will take place in the heart of Ortonville's Historic Old Mill Museum and is designed to bring our downtown to life with vibrant artwork, handcrafted goods, and community connection. From fine artists to skilled makers, Art at the Mill will showcase a carefully curated lineup of local and regional talent offering high-quality, handmade pieces.

Whether you're a passionate art lover, a curious visitor, or a proud local, this event is an invitation to explore and enjoy everything that makes our town unique. It's also a meaningful way to support the arts while discovering the history that surrounds the Old Mill.
