Art Exhibit Presented by Mott Community College Faculty and Students to Be Featured at the Michigan Institute for Contemporary Art in Lansing, April 3-26
Lansing, Mich. (March 30, 2011) – Mott Community College is presenting “Mixed Pairs,” an exhibition of art at the Michigan Institute for Contemporary Art (MICA) Gallery in Lansing. The opening reception will take place from 1 to 4 pm Sunday, April 3, 2011 as part of the Lansing art community’s monthly “First Sunday Gallery Walk.”
The exhibit runs through April 26. Gallery hours are 9 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday and Sundays from 1 pm to 4 pm. The MICA Gallery is located at 1210 Turner Street in Lansing’s Old Town district.
The body of work features a diversity of media, including printmaking, photography, painting, graphic design & illustration, and mixed media created by Mott Community College faculty and students. MCC faculty members volunteered to exhibit, with the stipulation that they would then curate a piece of work from one of their current or former students. This structure inspired the title “Mixed Pairs.” Twelve pairs of MCC faculty and students are participating in the exhibit.
