Creative Expressions Shaped by the Iconic Fallen Basswood Tree and the Ice Storm that Changed the Landscape. Art Exhibit Runs: September 25 - October 31, 2026

In the early morning hours of March 29–30, 2025, a beloved 150–200-year-old, 70-foot-tall Basswood tree fell during a devastating ice storm. Located at Bier Art Gallery and Pottery Studio, just south of Charlevoix in Norwood Township, the tree was a natural landmark—towering, graceful, and deeply rooted in the community.
