We want to give a big shout out to Downtown Grand Rapids Inc. for helping making Break It Down | Make It Better possible. Seeing 100 members of our arts community come together to teach, learn, and connect felt like a triumph. Our 10th annual conference saw participants from Lansing to Saugatuck discussing everything from volunteerism to the legacy of the UICA to art as a mental health practice, and it wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of both DGRI and Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University.

And for paid opportunities to create artwork this and next year, visit DGRI at www.downtowngr.org
