Our Rivers Our Lakes, July 22, 2011 - August 27, 2011

Our Rivers Our Lakes is a popular show amongst our submitting artists. They seem to come out of the woodwork to be a part of this exhibition. This year's show really draws inspiration from what it is like to live in Michigan with our abundant waterways. An plethora of paintings and drawings are currently hanging in our exhibition space, each offering a special glimpse, whether it be a quiet moment by a stream, a unique look at and oncoming freighter as it emerges from the mist, or a glass calm lake as the day turns to dusk. There are sculptures as well and a large mosaic that rounds out the show. Our Rivers Our Lakes will be on display at the Grosse Pointe ART Center from July 22- August 27 please come check it out.

Green Show, March 11, 2011 - April 2, 2011




Spring is soon upon us so it is time to think green. If you are environmentally aware, this is the exhibition for you. Art work presented consists of found objects, recycled materials, as well as themed eco-friendly painting, sculptures, and photography. The only requirement is that the works are green (including the color). A specific section in the Gallery Gift shop will have items available that are associated with the Green Show. The Grosse Pointe Art Center Gallery and Gift Shop is open 12 noon - 6 pm on Wednesday - Saturday.

Come to the Grosse Pointe Art Center. It is more than a gallery. It is a community experience that will melt the winter blahs.
