THE STUDIO & GALLERY
Pizzo Studio & Gallery is a vibrant hub of creativity and connection in the heart of Ferndale. Michelle created this space to foster a community where art, learning, and love intertwine.
The Gallery Showcases Michigan and Midwest based artists with engaging unique works of art across various disciplines. Pizzo Studio also collaborates with Capizzo Studio in Saugatuck, bringing the West Side to meet the East Side.
We host events, workshops, classes and pop-ups throughout the year. The space is also available for private events to do your own thing or have a group paint (wood, canvas or glass) or jewelry class!
