The City of Portage announces the 5th Annual Portage Community Art Award in conjunction with the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts’ (KIA) annual West Michigan Area Show (WMAS).

To be eligible for the $1,000 award, the artist must be a resident of Portage, Michigan. Artwork submitted must reflect the city’s theme, “A Natural Place to Move” and be available for display at Portage City Hall for one year beginning September 15, 2022.

The artist must be available for a private reception and the unveiling of the winning work of art and the accompanying exhibition. Artists should submit entries per guidelines available on the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts website at kiarts.org by April 3, 2022.
