Step 1: Make a collage
Step 2: Hang it in the gallery
Step 3: Repeat

In honor of our current resident artist, Beverly Fitzpatrick, Makeshift invites you to come and collage with us for the night of Art Hop. Our gallery is between shows, so we challenge you to help fill it with some new work for the night.

Some communal collage materials will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own supplies or donate to the cause _ AKA scissors, glue, magazines, paper, etc.

See you Friday!

Makeshift is pleased to announce our next exhibition, Kalamazoo & Park, by artist-in-residence Colleen Woolpert. Using photography, video, and other site-specific interventions, Colleen investigates what she describes as, "the act of observation and the enormous possibilities of visual perception." Throughout her residency she has explored and responded to potential relationships between audiences, the space itself, and the second floor view surrounding the intersection of West Kalamazoo Ave. and North Park St. Please join us for her opening reception during the September Art Hop.

Exhibition Dates: September 9 - October 1

Opening Reception: August 5, 5-9pm
Exhibition Dates: August 5 - September 4

Join us for the June Art Hop!

Main Gallery: Modular Modifications by resident, Hannah Knoll
Modular Modifications follows previous work that investigates the precarious relationship between people and the designed world. Hannah's new series of repurposed furniture constructions act as mobile examples of our highly connected, yet restless, drag and drop world.
OPEN: Art Hop / Friday, June 3, 5 - 9pm
EXHIBITION DATES: May 6 - July 1

Front Gallery: SURROGATE by Patricia Villalobos Echeverría
In case you missed it last month, we're fortunate to have Patricia's work on display again for the June Art Hop. SURROGATEis an installation work that plays with the idea of mimesis and doubling, while setting up a dichotomy between its materiality and the aural space it creates.
OPEN: Art Hop / Friday, June 3, 5 - 9pm
EXHIBITION DATES: May 6 - June 5
