Best Artist Grand Rapids Near Me

Mary Clare: I very much enjoy teaching at Grand Valley Artists studio. Respectful and kind people all around.

Moon Circles Enchanted Garden: I enjoy painting in the studio, and hanging out with other artists. Members support one another's artistic development. It is a great place to take classes, see or have an art show, and learn about art events in West Michigan. Membership is less than 100 a year. If you are looking to have artwork done for your home or business, there are artists who do every style of painting and photography. I recommend.

Evie Carrier: Epic Creativity and Amazing Artists!!

Mary Helmic: Focused on the visual arts, this organization is very welcoming. As a member, I've had several opportunities to show my work at the GVA gallery and other exhibitions in West Michigan. Highly recommend checking it out!

Mary Clare: Installation of the Festival of the Arts work was beautifully exhibited.

Daniel E. McDowell: ArtPrize 2021!

Jacqueline Parrish: Tascha Amond is a super woman! She literally made our wedding. She kept us up to date with checklists and meetings, and she was always available by phone, text, or email when I got stressed out or overwhelmed. Honestly, I never really had to -- she was two steps ahead the entire way. Another great thing about Tascha and Muse Weddings? We are a bride and bride couple and I was open with that right up front. I left messages for and talked with other wedding planners. Some never returned my call/email. Others did but said they were busy -- busy on a Thusday evening, four months ahead of time? With a staff of ten? Hmmm. Tascha not only called back promptly. She called back with enthusiasm and a plan! She is frankly amazing. Our florist had a personal emergency and she was unable to fulfill our order. Tascha found another vendor in a snap and had a proposal to me in no time at all. On our wedding day, Muse staff came to the hotel while we were getting ready to make sure we were all on time and had everything we needed. She took care of the table and venue decor and it was exactly what we envisioned. Tascha really listens. Our day was exactly how we imagined it. After our wedding, friends and family were still talking about how special the day was. Hire Tascha and Muse Weddings! You will be so glad you did!

Farah Mithani: What a cute art studio! Loved staying here so much. It got me to start painting again with the paints and canvas provided. The corner still is legit around the corner.

Heather Reames: Exhibits were very interesting. Gift shop and theater, what seemed to be for more non-traditional films, were also available.

Meadmaker David Baldwin: Only one exhibit on the lower two levels right now, but a very nice tribute for Black History month.

eVanDiesel: I experienced Eldritch horrors

Art of Flight: Loved it here. Amazing, contemporary facility with an architectural design that feels like an upscale big-city gallery. Friendly, awesome staff and lots to do and see at every turn

Anne Spencer: Wonderful theater and staff. Easy parking. Would go to another movie there!

Richard Rowell: The UICA was once an awesome little indi gallery with a cool million in the bank and a great local. Then the board decided they needed a bigger building. They borrowed $17 million to build it, and went bankrupt in the process. They were bailed out by Kendall, who promptly forced all the founders out. They should rename this the Kendal Institute for Contemporary Arts.

Andrew Swanson: Always a friendly staff, great exhibitions, and a good time.

Matt Siel: Absolutely fabulous art gallery! The Loft by Herman Miller on the 5th is a telecommuters dream and and be sure to check out the 200 seat movie theater down below!

Ryan Gravelle: Great venue, nice gift shop, theater is great!

Demon 3406pk: Not my thing

Lori Bekkering: Interesting

Greg Smolka: I personally enjoyed the UICA but a few of the people I went with did not like it as much as I did. The staff were friendly and the facility was organized. The criticism from my friends could be summed up as “boring” and that the space could be used a bit more wisely. This is the only reason for my 4 stars. However, when it comes to art there are always going to be opposing opinions. I would recommend the UICA to those who enjoy interesting art pieces.

Michael Dick: UICA is a great place to go to whenever. There is a movie theater inside that shows all sorts of indie movies and have snack and drinks right outside of it. I went here for a skateboarding video years ago and it was amazing! Also the art displayed here is just great.The only thing I have against a 5 star is that their is always confusion of where to enter the building at.

Brianne Bassett: Went to see a movie. Great experience!

Kate Dearborn: Great place for films, interesting art work. Easy to park. Affordable films. Good choice of films.

Ginni p: Such an awesome museum!

kj johnson: Thought provoking artist

Adriane Devries: This thriving art hub, which hosts curated shows, events and films, is a wonderful getaway in the midst of the bustling city. Only $5 to enter, you are then free to roam (usually, depending on what's showing) the five floors of thought-provoking and spirit-expanding exhibits. The space itself is a work of art, and especially intriguing to me is the rooftop garden/courtyard where many folks gather for business meetings, corporate events or just a snack with a friend, with fantastic views of the city. UICA is open noon to nine daily except only until six on Sunday, and closed on Monday. Enjoy your escape!

Fred Schoeps: Fascinating exhibit about being not mainstream in America, being a refugee...

brandon krahenbill: Took my wife to see a documentary here. Great people & atmosphere.

Joseph Kowalski: This is a wonderful organization that supports artists both young and old! If you are considering having an artist attend one of their programs, you will not be disappointed. If you are able to attend one of their public viewings of the art created by their artists, you will be impressed with the artwork they have produced. This is a wonderful organization supporting artists with many abilities.

rachel Hyde: ACT is a welcoming community where I’ve felt valued as a donor and volunteer. The staff works so hard to provide programming that is not only fun but also helps artists of all abilities express themselves and grow in meaningful ways. Through relationships with teaching artists and community, ACT seems to truly live out its mission in every way.

Ryan Schmidt: I have worked extensively with this organization and can only say good things about it. The staff, board, teaching artists, volunteers, and interns are all extremely dedicated to fulfilling the mission of ACT to empower people with disabilities through the arts and it’s incredible to see in action!

Juli Wiseman: Artists Creating Together is such a loving and accepting community. We are so lucky to have this organization in Grand Rapids. The teachers and staff are very accommodating and bring out the artist in every individual who participates. in their programs. My daughter has been involved with ACT for almost a year and looks forward to her drumming class every week!

Emily Mann: Artists Creating Together allows people of all abilities the fundamental right of being able to access the arts. Whether it's drumming, acting, watercolor, various forms of dancing, show choir, and countless others, the staff at ACT and the teaching artists show every participant that their voice matters and that their voice will be heard. Thank you for your dedication to not only the arts but to the people you service as well.

Carissa Beadling: This place is such an amazing spot! They truly give a safe place to let out your creativity with music and art. With the help of professional artists they offer a variety of classes from drumming, painting, gardening, ect! Grand Rapids is so lucky to have this place!

Vincent Frank: ACT is a great place for people with and without disabilities to be involved with the arts. I interned here and it was a great experience. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable in their respective subject areas. ACT really makes a difference in the GR community.
