Exhibits
Light and Form, VanBenschoten Retrospective: Shirley and Bryan VanBenschoten
April 20th through May 31st, 2026
Shirley and Bryan were crucial in establishing the ACA. They provided much of the vision and hard work needed to transform Studio One, a former office building into Studio One. As the President of ACA’s mother organization, the Lenawee Council for the Visual Arts, Shirley was important in making the step from an organization without a physical location to the 55 acres and six buildings. With her passing this past year the LCVA honors her through an exhibition of paintings and Bryan’s ceramic works. Reception: Sun May 3, 2 pm to 4 pm
CompARTments (Members) Assemblage Art
June 8th through July 19th, 2026
CompARTments (Members) Assemblage art is a three-dimensional art form that involves the assembling of Found Objects or objects not traditionally used to create art. Artists have long used non art materials to make art, notably, Joseph Cornell, Louise Nevelson, and Betye Saar. Cast-off or found boxes of all sizes and types, e.g.: metal, wood, plastic, clay, will be used by members to create assemblage art in, on or around the box form. Reception: Sunday, June 14th 2 pm to 4 pm
