Join us for "It Started With a Gecko," an exhibition by Wendy Shaft. Wendy is an accomplished printmaker who works in relief printmaking as well as surface design, dye-painted textiles and has printed chap books, posters and broadsides as well. This exhibition includes a variety of prints paired with poetry along with other pieces. Wendy's work will be on display at the Arts Council M-F, 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., through October. The reception is open to the public and free of charge. Light refreshments will be served.

Join us for an evening of networking and mixing with area artists and arts lovers. This is the perfect opportunity to check out the Cedar Street Art Collective and the work they do. Light refreshments will be served. Please share and bring a friend or two! We love celebrating the arts in our Greater Lansing community!

The Arts Council facilitates eight different grants in six grant programs that are adjusted or updated regularly. In order to make sure you know what changes may have occurred to a grant program, or what funding options are currently available, Taylor Haslett, membership and programs manager, will be holding an open group grant consultation at Panera Bread, (5212 W. Saginaw, Lansing) from 9-11 a.m. Join her and others to ask questions and discuss your grant options for 2019/2020.
