Our July exhibition features the art of Max and Louis Boyang, 12-year-old twin artists. Max and Louis have exhibited across the country and won national awards in adult competitions. Their detailed and colorful works express a love of nature and its design.

Would you like to show your work in an art gallery? Would you like to learn more about exhibiting? This workshop will offer an overview that includes, but is not limited to, finding the best gallery for you and your work, preparing an application and the difference between showing in a gallery versus a business. There will be plenty of time to ask questions as well. 

Our Wine Arounds are held monthly at restaurants and pubs throughout the Greater Lansing region and offer an opportunity for creative conversation around the arts. These are casual get-togethers that are open to all art enthusiasts. These gatherings offer up the perfect opportunity for sharing ideas and building new relationships. This month we would like to continue the conversation around creative collaborations and thinkspace/incubator spaces for artists, and we hope to see you there. This is a no-host event. Please visit zoobiesoldtowntavern.com for menu and pricing.

Arts and culture. They shape who we are--connect us to what we love--forming our identity. Similarly, they connect us to our communities, too. Taking pride in and claiming our "place" stems from that connectedness and how we describe it to others. At Creative Placemaking Summit 4, we'll explore how creative placemaking, through an arts and cultural lens, can amplify our idea of identity. We will use metrics and exploration to discover ways to build our brand as a region-find words we can all use. #LansingPlacemakers
