Blue House Art Square in Ada

Blue House Art Square

7267 Thornapple River Dr, Ada MI 49301

New in 2025!

Blue House Art Square in Ada is five little art sheds filled with local artists.

Running spring, summer and fall, they’re packed with paintings, jewelry, clay, glass, and more.

What It’s Like

Tucked behind Brody’s Be Coffee, each shed is run by several artists.

You walk up, poke around, and talk with the people who made the stuff.

It’s pretty neat to see how the art in the sheds complement each other.
