Sarah McKen is the owner operator of Little Manitou Art Gallery. Together with her life partner, Clayton Cave, they create the many aspects of Little Manitou Art Gallery. “We work well together!”, says Sarah.  “I operate the business, contracts and marketing.  Clayton manages the physical site and curates displays.” Both Sarah and Clayton are professional artists with their own creative careers. The story of Little Manitou Art Gallery began when Sarah, her son, and Clayton moved to Manitou Beach in 2012. The property at 204 Elizabeth Ave. was purchased because of the location – only 2 blocks from the main beach and central to many popular attractions – and most exciting was a cindercrete block building that could be set up as Sarah’s bronze foundry, while the attached garage could be converted into Clayton’s studio. From those meager beginnings, they have steadily developed the property and business.
