A little bit of everything.

Duluth is filled with talented artists and crafters, makers and healers.

We believe that local, handmade art should be accessible to all, and that artists and crafters need a place to show and sell their work. We are always adding new artists, and we welcome you to join us!

Check our social media pages often for specials, sales, events, and more!

Here is a sample of what you might find at ALT and some info about our awesome artists…
