Material World: Ten Women 5/21/2026 - 8/23/2026

Thu, 07 May 2026 14:40:47 GMT

Material World: Ten Women, an invitational exhibition organized by the Muskegon Museum of Art, features women artists working with non-traditional materials or using traditional materials in non-traditional ways. The exhibition highlights the use of the physical characteristics of material and technique as a component of both visual and conceptual themes. Many of the works use found objects common to the everyday household, or bring elements from nature into inside spaces. Painting, sculpting, weaving, and assemblage merge in surprising ways throughout the show — crocheted metal wire is transformed into complex organic shapes, steel rod is welded into traditional vessel forms and animal shapes, paintings are cut apart and reassembled on the loom, birch bark becomes quilt-like in complex geometric arrangements, and quilts become soft sculptures and drawings, amidst many other approaches that surprise and delight. The participating artists are: Marcelyn Bennett-Carpenter, Boisali Biswas, Elizabeth Brandt, Kristin Casaletto, Kim Cridler, Nanci LaBret Einstein, Hattie Mendoza Lee, Anne Mondro, Mary Stoppert, and Susan Yamasaki.

Liberty Ramps and 214's Veteran's Closet Need Your Help!

At Liberty Ramps and 214's Veteran's Closet, we believe that everyone deserves the right to move freely and live independently, regardless of their financial situation. Unfortunately, many families in our community are facing challenges that make it impossible to afford the ramps or mobility equipment they desperately need. Without this vital assistance, individuals are left without access to essential spaces in their own homes, limiting their freedom and quality of life.

That’s why we are reaching out to you, our neighbors and friends. We are seeking sponsors and donations to bridge this gap and ensure no one is left behind. Your support will directly provide ramps and mobility equipment to veterans, families, and individuals who cannot afford them—giving them back their dignity, independence, and hope for a brighter future.

When we come together as a community, we have the power to change lives. Every contribution, big or small, brings us one step closer to making a meaningful impact. Please join us in this mission to give back the gift of mobility and freedom. Together, we can make a real difference.
