CALLING ALL ARTISTS!

Seasons on the Grand - Fine Arts Show and Sale to benefit the Grand River Greenway
The intent of the “Seasons on the Grand” show is to honor the Grand River, including the north and south banks and parkways, as it flows through Ottawa County. Let us express through Artists' eyes the beauty of the seasons; the glories of the skies, textures of the grasses and ripples of the water. The show will display the blessings of this land with paintings, weavings, pottery, photographs and sculptures, capturing the wonders of our world as homage to our Grand River, which brings joy to all inhabitants along the way.

February 27 through March 31     Opening Reception, Friday, March 2 from 5pm - 8pm

Art on the Riverfront
The twelfth annual Art on the Riverfront juried art show will be held Saturday, August 18, 2012 from 10am - 5pm at the Grand Haven City Marina. This juried art show is always popular among the residents of the Tri Cities area and tourists alike. The show remains a fundraising event for the Grand Haven Area Arts Council to enhance, enlighten, and preserve the arts and culture in Northwest Ottawa County.

Applications are due postmarked by April 2, 2012.  Click here for the Application, please pass it on to any artists that may be interested in our show.

This year the Gallery Uptown of 201 Washington Ave in downtown Grand Haven will be working with the GHAAC to increase the exposure to the fine art community in West Michigan. With members as full time artists, GRAM docents and educators, we believe this partnership will increase exposure and keep the quality of our show high.

Changes this year:
There will be no auction this year. Your booth fee has increased from $85 to $95, but you no longer have to donate a $25 item.
The GHAAC is no longer accepting memberships, so everyone has the same booth fee.
Increased exposure and more help from fine artists in the Grand Haven area.
