    Best first date ever...
    11 years ago, I had a first date at the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts. We had an amazing time and long story short, are about to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and the 2nd and 8th birthdays of our children. It is a gorgeous facility. The exhibits are always excellently curated and thought-provoking. They offer fantastic programming for all audiences including children and families. We also LOVE the annual Art Sale in December. It is the perfect spot to find unique gifts. We are so lucky to have such an gem located right here in the heart of our community.

    Nice venue, Great visit!
    The cost to see the exhibits, was very reasonable, and there was a donation box, which we gladly contributed to, as well. We ventured into the hand-blown glass exhibit and were delighted to see some of the most exquisite, rare, and wonderful pieces of hand-made glass art! We ventured further in, and then went downstairs, where there were many wonderful paintings, sculptures, works and artifacts to see! There was even a room for the kids, to “artfully” express themselves, too! The exhibits were all well designed and well presented. Definitely worth the visit!
