Partners in Design with Katalyst Art Gallery and Boutique
By McDaniels Kitchens and Bath|Events
Our Partners in Design event series continued this month with a visit from Sarah Arredondo from Katalyst Art Gallery and Boutique. These monthly events are an important part of our regular calendar. The McDaniels team enjoys the opportunity to welcome a new design partner to our Lansing, MI showroom each month and to learn more about local businesses and organizations.
All About Partners in Design
McDaniels’ popular Partners in Design event series is an opportunity to bring a new local design partner to our showroom each month. These local businesses and organizations share their experience, services, products, and volunteer opportunities with our participants. We also enjoy hearing about their inspiring personal and entrepreneurial journeys. Since each month brings a new design partner to our showroom, there is always something new to learn and discover. These events help us to gain insight into what makes our favorite corner of the world so amazing!
March Design Partner: Katalyst Art Gallery and Boutique
Sara joined us from Katalyst Art Gallery and Boutique. This was Katalyst Art Gallery and Boutique’s second time joining us as a design partner, and this time the focus was on fashion! Katalyst Art Gallery and Boutique opened in 2010 and is not your normal gallery. This cool, funky, and fun boutique focuses on unique pieces and features over 300 local mid-Michigan artists with a contemporary edge. In addition to artwork, Katalyst offers a wide range of artful gifts for all occasions, including jewellery, candles, home décor, handbags, and more.
Our March Event
Sarah joined us in our Lansing, MI showroom to tell us about the gallery and boutique, and to show us some of her new fashions, hats, and fascinators, just in time for Easter. We had a wonderful session learning about the clothes Sarah now offers from local and international artists. For the last 15 years, Katalyst has been a fixture in Old Town, Lansing. She offers an amazing array of jewellery (some made from piano wire), handbags made of pleather, hats, fascinators, local artwork, and more!
The boutique is filled with colorful, sparkling, and unique things, making it truly the go to location for one-of-a-kind gifts. Sarah told us that Old Town now has a 98% occupancy rate and that the area businesses all work together to offer a range of different products and services. Sarah features a local artist each month and encourages new artists to showcase their work so she can be their launching pad. We could really see how much she enjoys giving back to the community, and we were delighted she returned to Partners in Design!
