MAC at 60

Selections from the Permanent Collection

To celebrate MacRostie Art Center’s 60th anniversary, we have a selection from our permanent collection on display in the Giinawind Creative Space featuring Charles Jelinek, Ted Tindquist, George Post, Dodie Mcnew, E, Lowell Robinson, Nora Stevens, Tyne Mike and Liz White.

The MacRostie Art Center began as the Itasca Art Association. The group had their first board meeting in December 1960 with the goal of promoting art interest and activities in the Grand Rapids area.

The IAA became incorporated as an official non-profit in November of 1966 and set the stage for what would eventually become the MacRostie Art Center.
