The end of 2022 is getting closer by the day and the GVSU Art Gallery team is taking time to reflect on a busy yet productive year. Over 1,000 works of art have been installed throughout all GVSU’s campuses. This past year our team worked with several GVSU partners, bringing new artwork to their spaces, curated specifically to reflect the unique programs, services, and resources each department provides. It has been our honor to work with a variety of departments that make a such a huge difference within our GVSU community!
