The Michigan Council for Arts & Cultural Affairs is thrilled to serve as your host for NASAA Assembly 2016. We want to ensure that you have a great time while you stay in our great state. You will be visiting Michigan’s west side and the community of Grand Rapids, historically known for its contributions to design, and furniture making in particular. West Michigan is home to companies such as Steelcase, Haworth and Herman Miller – it is often said that there isn’t an uncomfortable chair anywhere in Grand Rapids. While that may be something of an exaggeration, it isn’t an exaggeration to say that this is a high-quality “maker community,” and you will see that in everything from the arts to the beer! The maker culture together with a highly walkable downtown make Grand Rapids an ideal setting for NASAA Assembly 2016. The locale strikes the perfect balance of excitement, comfort and creativity conducive to rich learning experiences during the day and fun entertainment in the evening.

  • Festival of the Arts
    FESTIVAL SPONSORSHIP JUNE 7/8/9, 2019 v In 1969, Alexander Calder’s “La Grande Vitesse” was installed in front of City Hall in downtown Grand Rapids. The 43-foot-tall, vibrant red stabile, became known as “The Calder,” and inspired a celebration of the arts– one that’s grown to encompass most of downtown Grand Rapids. Festival of the Arts remains an annual three-day celebration of West Michigan arts and artists taking place in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan during the first full weekend in June (June 7-9, 2019). In 1969, Grand Rapids proudly installed Alexander Calder’s stabile, “La Grande Vitesse,” as the first public art work funded by the Art in Public Places program of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA). This sculpture captures the grandeur of City Hall and the surrounding steel buildings and showcases the spirit of the Grand River. “La Grande Vitesse” is French for “the great swiftness” or “the grand rapids”. The Calder stabile inspired arts organizers in Grand Rapids to develop a FREE community celebration of the arts on the plaza on which the Calder was built. Alexander Calder, himself a big fan of community arts festivals, created the original sun logo as a gift for the event. This logo is still in use today. Over the next 50 years, Festival grew to connect Maya Lin’s “Ecliptic” in Rosa Parks Circle to Alexander Calder’s “La Grande Vitesse.” The event filled the streets with performance stages, exhibitions, cultural food, kid and family fun and activities, attracting over 300,000 people every year.
