NEW PROGRAMS
MUSIC ON THE BRICKS!
GFAC is providing live musicians in 5 downtown venues on the first Friday every month. For the most recent schedule, see www.geneseefun.com.
EXHIBITIONS
GFAC gives local artists and students of art an opportunity for self expression and community recognition.
GFAC will coordinate exhibits jurying all exhibiting artists by a panel of local artists. The panel changes each year to ensure the diversity of exhibitions offered. GFAC will also schedule student exhibitions. The “Young Artists Today'” regional juried high school students exhibition and the University of Michigan-Flint exhibition are staples with GFAC. To add to the excitement of GFAC studio exhibition receptions, we pay local musicians to play during these events. This gives local musicians a chance to promote themselves and further diversifies GFAC’s involvement in the performing arts. GFAC Exhibitions open on the Second Friday of each month during ARTWALK and continue until the first Friday of the following month.
GFAC Gallery hours are 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM Monday through Friday
