Uban Institute of Contemporary Art
UICA is also located in downtown GR and offers youth programs such as "Artworks" to students 14-21 who are interested in the arts.

Frederik Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park
This is a great place to visit! I captured this image last Spring, when Chihuly was on display. Jim Dine is going to be featured this year with a retrospective of his work. I highly encourage you to visit this venue (they are even open late on Tuesdays). Who knows - we might even bump into each other there!
