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

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.
Applications and show information will be posted to
www.galleryuptown.net
