Hilbert's is doing a small part in keeping excess packaging out of the landfill. We invite everyone to stop by the Honey House to fill their own jars with fresh warm honey right off the tank. In addition there will be food and games and tours of the honey processing operation.

There will be discounts and clearance items available for sale and vendors showing off their creations made with Hilbert's Honey.

It's a fun and educational event for the entire family.

Sit. Stay. Heal. April 24–26 at K&A Hop Dogs, a weekend of interacting, healing, and walking away with friends furrrrr life!

Griefhab™ presents: Sit. Stay. Heal. April 24–26!

Following Lost Dog Awareness Day on April 23rd, this is perfect timing to honor Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month, thanks to our hosts at K&A Hop Dogs - a dog friendly social pub.

We’re also honoring Worldwide Bereaved Spouses Month - for two reasons. Griefhab™ wouldn’t be here if I hadn’t lost Jim and learned firsthand how much is lacking in the grief support world. And I’ve recently been looking into the connection between the widowed community and pets - and it’s astonishing!

So it’s no coincidence that it’s also Worldwide Bereaved Spouses Month

Come spend the weekend with us... animal therapy, art, writing, sound, movement… all the good stuff. It’s healing, it’s grounding, and honestly, it just feels really good. Can't wait to see you there!

Admission is FREE, donations are always welcome!

At a time when the world is drowning in photographic images, Grand Rapids photographer Rodney Martin asks: Is photography dead? On April 25, Martin will present a slide lecture that digs into that question. The program takes place in the Glen Arbor Arts Center Main Gallery 1-2:30 pm.

Reservations are required. Seating is limited. Admission is $10 GAAC members, $15 nonmembers.

The deadline for reservations is April 23, 2 pm. To read more and to reserve a seat click here.

As photography moved out of the darkroom and into the computer, the ability to “doctor” an image or to create one using artificial intelligence has caused some to conclude that photography is dead. Martin will explore the impact of digital photography and the implications of generative artificial intelligence on our understanding of photographs. This conversational discussion will enable participants to be savvier consumers of photography in the digital age.

This fun comedy begins with a theater-loving narrator playing his favorite cast recording. As the record spins, a 1920s musical springs to life in his apartment. The show-within-a-show follows a wedding disrupted by gangsters, mistaken identities and a tipsy chaperone. Hilarious and heartfelt, it’s both a loving parody and a tribute to the magic of classic musicals.

Showcase of works in oil, acrylic, watercolor and mixed media created by a talented local artist group.

Opening reception, Saturday, April 25 at 5:00 PM
