Visit Alpena did a feature on this Alpena native, artist Nicholas Hartman aka Chapel of Ghouls. You can read that interview in full here: Gravely Art from the Hart
And we’re so excited to invite him home for an art show at our Tap Room and feature HIS ARTWORK for our newest cider label! Hopefully we’ll be able to see a bunch of his other work as well.

Nick on Nick:
“My name is Nicholas Hartman but usually just go by Nick. I graduated from Alpena High School in 2004, received an Associate in Fine Arts from ACC, and a Bachelor of Science in Film Studies from GVSU. I worked as a Film Curator at the Urban Institute for Contemporary Arts located in Grand Rapids, MI for 8 plus years, but the museum closed due to the devastating effects of the pandemic. I’m now currently working for the historic Wealthy Theatre where I continue to curate films, manage theatre operations, and am head of the Grand Rapids Film Society.

Other than my professional work, I’m an artist who goes by the name Chapel of Ghouls. I’ve shown my work in a handful of galleries, put on my own art shows, and am an advocate for all things mental health. My hobbies include skateboarding, painting, listening to music, all things film, reading, and embracing the gift of life. I love drinking cold beer, spending time with my loved ones, and believe that every day should be lived to the fullest. I’ll rest when I’m dead.”
