Beginning on April 25-26, a conference will kick off the "Who is My Neighbor" event that will feature eight downtown churches exhibiting artwork through May 11.
According to a report, the event is "an ecumenical art conference and exhibit hosted by eight neighborhood churches in downtown Grand Rapids. The central focus of the conference is to use art to bridge the gap between different cultures (primarily focused on Latino/Hispanic, Anglo and African American) as well as different Christian religious views. In other words, create a bridge to learn about our neighbors. There will be over 300 pieces of original artwork on display."
The two day conference will have 25 workshops and feature nine presenters. Fees for the conference range from $50 to $150 with student and group rates available. For registration information visit eyekons gallery event page or call 616-235-2929.
Artwork will be on display and open to the public April 27- May 11 with free admission.
