BY MILVENA ERICKSON
As you stroll down the picturesque and
historic Main Street in the Village of Bayfield,
you will pass the century old Albion Hotel,
Lance's Antique Shop, Al Amy's Real Estate
and Antique business, then you will come
upon a little shop constructed of wavy -butt
pine. This shop is known as Graffiti Graphics
Gallery; something entirely new to the
lakeside village.
Michael W. Gregg, a young man of vision
and hope with help from George and Mary
Gregg and others; conceived the idea of a
Bayfield and Huron County Gallery in
February of 1974. He moved from St. Thomas
to Bayfield where he was working as a
Graphic Arts Cameraman, and over the
course of the past year developed contacts
with many Huron County Artists.
In the winter of 1974-75 he constructed the
building with a Gallery, Studio and darkroom.
The walls in the gallery are done in an off
white burlap to display the many prints,
paintings and photography. On the low table
near the large front window; pottery and
sculpture are tastefully displayed in an
uncluttered arrangement. Michael also offers
a 24 hour film developing service.
