About
Join us in the Westin Gallery to view artwork by seven local public artists in conjunction with the Kalamazoo County Public Arts Commission, which will unveil its Pixel Stix project! Artwork in the gallery will include paintings, sculpture, printmaking, and more by artists Ellen Nelson, Brent Harris, Patrick Hershberger, Chafe Hensley, Maya James, Ellen Vandermyde, and Trevor Grabill.
In Kalamazoo we have a growing and vibrant public art collection which includes sculptures, murals, and interactive experiences. The Kalamazoo County Public Art Commission (PAC) was created by a joint “Urban Cooperation” agreement between the City of Kalamazoo, City of Portage and the County of Kalamazoo. The purpose of the Commission is to determine the best practices for the acquisition, installation, maintenance, and deaccession of public works of art. They oversee hundreds of pieces of public artwork, which includes indoor and outdoor sculptures, memorials/tributes, murals, and architectural detailing.
