Fun to be had at the GRAM this summer


The Grand Rapids Art Museum (GRAM) is jam-packed full of exciting events this summer from film festivals to a free summer concert series.


DJ SuperDre and the Ed Clifford String Quartet will be reuniting with a musical performance this Friday at 5:30 p.m. in the Museum Lobby. At 7 p.m. there will be an interactive discussion about how musicians can collaborate across different music genres.


The first weekend in June is the Festival of the Arts and the Festival Film Competition will be presented in the GRAM’s Cook Auditorium. Children’s activities will take place in front of the museum and three floors of art will be on display throughout the event for visitors.


GRAM on the Green, an outdoor music series presented by Steelcase Inc., returns Friday, June 12 on the Terrace Stage. Every Friday from 7 to 9 p.m., free performances by musicians of all talents will take the stage. Free outdoor sketching on the Plaza from 5-9 p.m. and games will be happening from 5-7:30 p.m. in Rosa Parks Circle. The GRAM is collaborating with the Downtown Alliance Merchants to bring Grand Rapids the DowntownGR Bazaar, a place for food, fun and families.


If you like attending free events, listening to local music and having a good time, check out the different events throughout the summer at the Grand Rapids Art Museum.
