Gallery History

Pamela Tripp Gallery opened in 1991 in a residential building five miles south of Baldwin on highway M-37. Beginning with three artists, the gallery now shows the work of over 20 artists from the area, region and from across the United States. Seeking a more prominant location, but wanting to invest in Lake County, Pam and Dale moved the gallery to the current downtown location in Baldwin.
