GVSU Arts Celebration
The Grand Valley State University Arts Celebration (formerly known as Fall Arts Celebration) has been a staple in the West Michigan community for the last 18 years. We strive to provide free, impactful, art-related programming for the university and surrounding community. This year, we will again present in-person art events.
