In addition to the female animators exhibit going on at the Muskegon Museum of Art is the Annual Contemporary Art Exhibit. This year is its 97th. Granddaughter had a lot to do with the pace we went through, so little time for photos. Will try to get back there while it is still going and will do an update on this post.
The first one captured my attention by shape, material, color, and composition:
The next one fascinated me because of its meticulousness, use of natural material, and the direct design as well as shadow being part of the design. For those not familiar with phragmites, they are an unwelcome invasive species around here, wiping out the indigenous plant life. I was happy to see it was cut down and repurposed into art. May a stampede of artists choose to use it for art and remove it from the wild in Michigan!
There is also an exhibit of Herman Miller posters in the basement along with a small room full of doodads from the permanent collection.
Here is one of the doodads that caught my eye. Ribbit!
The last pic is of their unconventional coat and hat rack.
Happy Friday!
That’s really such great art, Lisa! The artists behind those wonderful arts are so talented. My favorites are “My Heart Is Nearly Full” and the phragmite art. I like how detailed they are, and the way the materials were used to make such great art. They all made me smile. Bookmarked it! ☺️
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend ahead ☺️

They had a dozen or more posters in the same style. Not sure if you know it, but Herman Miller furniture is made in this area. I didn’t see a card on the frog thing.
