Since the 1960s, the West Michigan Area Show, an annual juried exhibition, celebrates the talented community of visual artists in the region. Drawing works from 14 counties, an experienced juror chooses artists from more than 300 submitted entries, ranging from paintings, prints, and photos to mosaics, ceramics, jewelry, sculpture, and mixed-media works. Honor the expertise of the mitten state during an opening reception on May 20, 2022. Return to the KIA to view the exhibition again with free admission on Saturday, May 21, and Sunday, May 22. Watch the award ceremony live-streamed on the KIA's YouTube from 5-6pm on Friday, May 20.
