The opportunity:
Through this visiting artist experience your students will be exposed to a contemporary Anishinaabe graphic designer and learn more about Mariah’s artistic process of celebrating her heritage through art and storytelling. During the classroom visit, students will be invited to explore and honor their own heritage and family traditions and will be given visual agency to create a 2D or digital work that tells a story and celebrates their own traditions and stories.

Mariah will share her passion for storytelling as well as visual and digital arts. Available days for a classroom visit are:

  • Friday, November 12
  • Monday, November 15
  • Tuesday, November 16
  • Wednesday, November 17
  • Virtual engagement upon request

We are accepting a limited number of visits. Interested educators must respond by Friday, October 15, 2021.

It is important to note that the in-person planned programming is dependent on the international travel laws as Mariah will be traveling from Canada.

The Saugatuck Center for the Arts is West Michigan’s lakeshore destination for experiencing the joy of professional theater and music, life-changing education for children and adults, and substantive dialogue.

We are a community asset, a collaborative partner, and are deeply committed to building a stronger, more vibrant regional arts & cultural landscape. Nestled along the lakeshore our gallery space provides a unique hub for impactful conversations, outreach, classes and film. We welcome professional artists from around the globe to showcase their art, tell their stories, and provide a space for meaningful connections to transpire.

Our gallery is always free to visit and is open during regular hours. Check our specific hours before visiting by calling the box office at 269-857-2399.

The magic that we create in our gallery space is only made possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors throughout the year. We encourage you to explore the list of sponsors for each show and consider how you can thank them for helping us make art accessible to all in West Michigan.
