Grand Rapids Film Society Presents: Michigan Experimental Cinema

The Grand Rapids Art Museum, collaborating with the Grand Rapids Film Society, is presenting the Michigan Experimental Cinema exhibition (Jan 30 – Aug 15 2027) in Level 2 Hunting Gallery. The exhibition showcases a rotating selection of experimental films made by filmmakers who reside in Michigan. Curated by Spencer Everhart, Jackson Ezinga, and Nicholas Hartman, the program highlights the diverse ways Michigan artists are expanding the medium.

This call offers exposure through public exhibition and inclusion in the museum’s programming, with no monetary prize or stipend.
