Thank you to everyone who came out to support our artists! We need a quick favor regarding credit card payments.

What Happened?

Some transactions failed because the system mistakenly thought Belle Isle was in Canada. Several sales did not process, meaning artists have not been paid for those items.

Please check your statement to verify the charges. If the payment is missing. contact us we can connect you with the artist.

Every single sale makes a massive difference to their livelihood.

Let’s show everyone that Michiganders are honest, wonderful, and dedicated to supporting the arts!
