Envi­sion Virtual Closing Reception & Ceremony

Due to a variety of factors, the Stamps Gallery has decided to host the Envision Closing Reception & Award Ceremony celebration of Michigan artists in a virtual format.

This is the inaugural year of Envi­sion: The Michi­gan Artist Ini­tia­tive, a new awards pro­gram designed to sup­port the devel­op­ment of con­tem­po­rary artists liv­ing and work­ing in Michi­gan. The five finalists and this year’s winner of the Envision Award were selected by jurors Carla Acevedo-Yates, Cura­tor, MCA Chicago; Ken Aptekar (BFA​’73), Artist; and Lor­ing Ran­dolph (BFA​’04), Direc­tor, Nancy A. Nasher and David J. Haemisegger Collection.

Join us for the award ceremony and closing reception of Envi­sion: The Michi­gan Artist Ini­tia­tive at Stamps Gallery. The exhibition features new work by the five Envision finalists, artists Nayda Collazo-Llorens, Michael Dixon, Car­ole Har­ris, Kylie Lockwood, and Dar­ryl DeAngelo Terrell.
