Contact us to attend!
Informal hors d’oeuvre and beverage reception
will be available in the Walker Gallery at 6:30
p.m., followed by a presentation at 7:30 p.m.
in the museum’s auditorium. This presentation will feature Joel
Zwart, the college’s director of exhibitions, and
professor of art history Henry Luttikhuizen.
Last September, we toured the newly renovated
Holland Hospital and saw how a sophisticated medical
facility could enhance patient care. Next, we will have the
opportunity to experience one of the outstanding
permanent art collections in West Michigan at the Muskegon Museum of Art.
This nearly 100-year-old institution began amassing
its wealth of artworks in 1905 through the generosity
of lumber baron and philanthropist Charles H. Hackley.
When he died in that year, Hackley left a bequest whose
stated purpose was to purchase “pictures of the best
kind.”
Lakeshore alumni and friends will have the opportunity
to experience works by John Steuart Curry, J.A.M.
Whistler, Camille Pissarro, Edward Hopper, Winslow
Homer, Auguste Rodin, Alfred Sisley, Pierre Bonnard,
William Merritt Chase and Lucas Cranach. Curry’s
Tornado Over Kansas, Hopper’s New York Restaurant
and Cranach’s portraits of Martin Luther and his wife
Katharina are highlights of the collection.
Calvin staff and faculty will be on hand to lend
their expertise to the event. Joel Zwart, the college’s
director of exhibitions, will speak about Calvin’s long
relationship with the Muskegon Museum of Art, and
professor of art history Henry Luttikhuizen will give a brief overview of the permanent collection. Following
this half-hour presentation, Lakeshore alumni and friends
are free to explore the galleries, which house not only
paintings, but also fine print and glass collections — the
latter of which includes work by Dale Chihuly.
Alumni and
their guests are also welcome to visit the Walker Gallery
for “Turn In,” the 80th-annual exhibition of Michigan
artists, the longest-running art show in the state.
The $15 admission price includes museum entry and
an informal hors d’oeuvre and beverage reception.
