Artworks in Big Rapids

Artworks is a non-profit organization for the arts and humanities in Big Rapids, Michigan. The Artworks building houses a fine art gallery for art exhibits, a gift shop where local artists sell their artwork, two dance studios, a pottery studio, and a classroom for workshops and classes. Art, dance, literature, and leisure workshops are taught for adults and children of all skill levels. Other activities and events include a foreign film series where international films are screened and discussed, Art Attack for students from area school districts to display their artwork in the Artworks Gallery, a speakers bureau for presentations and performances serving the community, writers and poets’ groups and workshops, and Music at Pocket Park – presentations of outside music throughout the summer in downtown Big Rapids.

Artworks is partially funded by a grant from the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs. More information about this organization can be found on their website, http://www.michiganbusiness.org/community/council-arts-cultural-affairs/#MCACA
