Break It Down | Make It Better

Friday, February, 27 2026 in Grand Rapids, MI

The longest-running professional development conference for artists in West Michigan, it's a time for our region's artists to gain new skills, form connections with one another, dream together as a creative community, and find inspiration in the journeys of others. 

This year’s theme is The Action of Art and explores how artists turn ideas into action through practice, collaboration, experimentation, and community-building.
