First Friday Arts: Grand Rapids

On the first Friday of every month we connect with Katie Marshall from the MacRostie Art Center in Grand Rapids. She lets us know about the First Friday events, new exhibits and music around Grand Rapids.  March is National Youth Art Month and that will be celebrated around Grand Rapids. The Reif Center has the 2020 Grand Rapids student show on disply for the next two months and the MacRostie is showcasing student art as well.  Students from Keewatin Elementary worked with MacRostie Art Center and local artists Aaron Squadroni and Lea Freisen who worked with the kids as they made multi-media pieces that are on display at the MacRostie.  Also on exhibit at the MacRostie are the portraits of Serenity Barden from Hibbing!   For a full rundown of the arts events in Grand Rapids check out  GrandRapidsArts.org.
