In partnership with the Grand Rapids Art Museum, join us for a special Night at the Museum curated exclusively for GVSU students during Black History Month.

This immersive evening invites students into a space of reflection, connection, and celebration centered on As We Rise, an exhibition that uplifts Black voices, histories, and creative expression. Through powerful works of art, As We Rise explores themes of community, identity, and power.

Throughout the night, the museum will come alive with sound, conversation, and culture.

As you move through the galleries, you’ll experience the museum as a place of belonging and dialogue.

Whether you’re coming to reflect, connect with peers, or experience the exhibition for the first time, this Night at the Museum offers a welcoming environment to engage, learn, and rise together.

Whether you’re attending with friends or coming solo, this Night at the Museum offers a welcoming environment to engage, learn, and rise together.

Come as you are—and be part of a night that celebrates culture, creativity, and community.
