Welcome! Thanks for picking up our inaugural issue of the West Michigan Art Guide. If you’re like me, you enjoy going to art shows. You delight in being surrounded by the tantalizing mix of colors, forms, textures, creativity (and fresh air) that can only be found at such an event. Being able to meet the folks who create this inspirational work, and hear their stories, is an added bonus. The same feelings apply when visiting a regional art gallery, or being given the opportunity to get inside working artists’ studios. Afterwards, you’re often left wondering: “where can I go next weekend to experience something like this again?” Well, that’s what prompted the publication of this directory. The West Michigan Art Guide has been three years in the making. Lots of research, thought and care went into creating this guide for you. I wanted it to be a functional, attractive, easy-to-use resource with accurate, up-to-date information. The Art Guide includes all of the galleries
(that we’re aware of) that primarily offer original art and contemporary craft. The event listings don’t include every art/craft show where anyone can set up a booth. The juried shows listed here should be worth taking a “road trip” to visit. And lots of locator maps in the gallery sections will help you find and visit local galleries on your way to and from other art events. Thanks to the gallery owners and show promoters who jumped on board to help make this first West Michigan Art Guide possible. We are already looking forward to making next year’s Art Guide bigger and better. I hope the Art Guide helps you discover the diversity of original art and fine craft available to see and buy right here in West Michigan.
Scott Haebich Publisher
A few notes on using this guide : • I have divided West Michigan into 9 regions. You can see them all on the map at the right.
• These regions are color-coded throughout this guide. The gallery pages for each region list cities, and the galleries in each city, alphabetically. • Listings in the event sections (Art Fairs, Gallery Walks, Studio Tours, Artist Markets) are presented in chronological order. Each event is color coded so you can tell at a glance where in West Michigan it takes place. • Some of the gallery and event listings give websites you can visit for more information. We have eliminated the http://www. from these addresses since
most current browsers don’t need them. But if you have trouble accessing these sites, adding http://www. in front of the address might help.
• If the listing includes a Facebook page, you can type the words that follow the symbol into Facebook’s search field. If there is a slash (/) after the , then typing facebook.com followed by the slash and the address will take you straight to the appropriate page. • For example, if the listing shows: /ArtGallery then you can type Facebook.com/ArtGallery into your browser with no Facebook search being necessary. 2012 West Michigan ART GUIDE

2012 West Michigan ART GUIDE
We hope this Art Guide inspires you to make an “art trip” up or down West Michigan to visit some galleries outside of your area. If so, you might want to call ahead (or visit some websites) to check hours. Some galleries along the Lakeshore are seasonal and may be closed, or have shortened hours, during the winter.

No one needs art, right? Art is not necessary to sustain life, like food is. It’s probably not as vital as money, shelter or a job. But beyond these basic requirements, art may be right up there with other items in the “things that make life worth living” category. We’d like to propose that art may be indespensable for many people who want to live fulfilling, well-balanced lives. A work of particular beauty or mystery can have a powerful effect on us. It can alter our mindset, slow us down, change our perspective or raise our spirits.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ARTISTS! … and art galleries. Purchasing art from artists and galleries in West Michigan supports the regional economy. It’s a lot like a CSA (community supported agriculture) but for art. CSA can also stand for “community supported art,” you know.

HANDCRAFTED VS . MANUFACTURED Your home proabably has plenty of commercially manufactured items in every room as most homes do. Your home probably also has a number of handmade, handcrafted items also. Which ones have more meaning to you? We’re guessing the latter. Items made by hand have unique qualities that mass-produced items don’t. They look different, they feel different and have a distinct character that can’t be reproduced. Original artwork is more compelling and engaging than anything that can be found in a “big box” store. When you’re in the market for some decorative or functional artwork, consider making your next purchase from an artist right here in West Michigan. You’ll be glad you did.
