Spending your weekend with GRAM


No, not your grandma (though you could take her with!), but the Grand Rapids Art Museum. This weekend's schedule offers events for everyone, from date night to family fun.

Friday will feature a gallery talk and walking tour of the Alexander Calder Jewelry exhibit, beginning at 6 p.m. Piano music will be played in the lobby beginning at 5:30, and the cafe offers food and drinks.

In keeping with the metal-working theme of the evening, David Huang, who has an exhibit in the LaFontsee Gallery, and Scott Carey of Metal Arts Studio will be holding demos and discussions about their craft in the GRAM's East Court. Stay late and take advantage of the ballroom dancing (just tell yourself its great exercise when everyone around you is a better dancer).

Saturday will feature events for Art for all Families. Adults and kids alike can learn, participate in, and bring home creations.

Sunday the 21st will feature cellist Alicia Eppinga and violinist Megan Crawford with the Grand Rapids Symphony for the final performance of the winter concert series. The performance begins at 2 p.m at the Wege Pavilion.

Go, and enjoy the official end of winter.
