Many may recall that before I was writing or working in media, I was first and foremost an artist of your community.
On Nov. 18 and 20 I invite you to join me in celebrating the 25th anniversary of the annual Tanglefoot Artists’ Open Studio Event on the westside of Grand Rapids.
And while I am certainly one reason to consider attending if you have ever wondered what my artist studio space looks like, I am not the sole reason.
In fact, I can offer you nine additional reasons as to why you should be there to celebrate this historic milestone.
These nine diverse reasons are: Elaine Dalcher, Nikki Wall, Michael Pfleghaar, Jeff Condon, Alynn Guerra, Jason Villareal, Carlos Aceves, Cathy Marashi, and Gretchen Deems.
Over the years the building’s event has swelled and contracted in size, with this year promising to be the biggest and most exciting as we have added three new studios within the building that you must experience firsthand.
So if you are curious about the nature of artists spaces, why not consider visiting a space younger than Festival for the Arts but older than ArtPrize.
This is the year to visit Tanglefoot and meet the artists. (Sunday is a quieter day if the bustle of Friday night is too much for the kids.)
Admission: Free
