The lakes and water systems of the Great Lakes are a majestic natural resource too little known outside of our region. This exhibit features 16 poets and visual artists — each with a connection to the Great Lakes — in artistic pairings designed to result in new collaborative works with a Great Lakes theme. Enjoy the reception Thursday, Jan. 21 from 5-7 pm at 1121 Performing Arts Center, GVSU Art Gallery, 1 Campus Dr., Allendale, MI. Free and open to the public. Exhibition runs through April 1.
