Barnabee Art Gallery

The Barnabee Art Gallery was established in the 1989 by Walden Baskerville, a Kalamazoo sculptor and psychologist, as a way to highlight the artistic talents of Kalamazoo school children and local artists. Today that tradition continues with several exhibits each year featuring the work of local artists of all ages.

Justopposition

Western Michigan University’s School of Art

In the spirit of the Surrealists’ exquisite corpse drawings, students from Western Michigan University’s School of Art and Savannah College of Art and Design in Atlanta collaborated on a project called Justopposition.

WMU students created the upper portion of a drawing that explored the concept(s) of up/top/north/above/over, while SCAD students created drawings based upon notions of down/bottom/south/below/under. Drawings were united this fall for the first time and will be exhibited at Barnabee Gallery at the Powell Library and WMU in Kalamazoo, MI, and at SCAD in Atlanta, GA.
