Casket Arts Building is one of five Northeast properties owned by Jennifer Young and John Kremer, who are partners in both business and life. They are committed to nurturing local artists (and flora), and this is one way they do that. The building has been around since 1882 when it was in the actual casket business until 2005 when the current owners turned it into an artistic space while maintaining the historic feel of the building. The Casket Arts Building is part of the Casket Arts Community which has over 140 artists/art-based businesses that support one another. Not only do the artists have their own studios, they open their studios to the public on a regular basis including during Art-A-Whirl.
