Kalamazoo Institute of Arts to raffle a piece of Americana


The Kalamazoo Institute of Arts (KIA) is offering you a chance to win a limited-edition Jamie Wyeth print. The framed, signed and numbered print, The Gourd Tree, is valued at more than $1,900. Raffle tickets are now available for $10 a piece or 3 tickets for $25.

The raffle, which is being held in conjunction with the KIA exhibition On Paper: The Lincoln Center/List Art Collection, will be drawn on Wednesday, June 30, by Tom Lollar, former director of visual arts at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

Lollar, who is also a renowned ceramicist and sculptor with a BFA and MA from Western Michigan University, will be giving a free public lecture at the KIA at 6:30 p.m. before the drawing. Lollar will discuss the visual arts at the Lincoln Center, the genesis of the List Print program and his experience working with commissioned artists.
