New wing and glass art.

We enjoyed the new glass exibit. Amazing how creative the artist can be with glass. Even our 9 and 11 year old Grand kids enjoyed it. All the grand kids work as docents at the Grand Rapids Art Prize each year.

Date of experience: September 2018

Thank chuck_l23

That is so great! We love seeing families enjoying the collection together. Children's exposure to art speaks volumes and follows them thgorughout their lives. We hope you'll return to the Flint Institute of Arts soon! Remember, Saturdays are free thanks to Huntington Bank.
