Grand Valley Artists was founded in 1955 and is one of the oldest Art groups in the Midwest and the oldest in Michigan. Not happy with the then popular Modern Art focus of the local art community, Bill Kubiak, Armond Merizon and Carl Forsund decided to start a group to focus instead on Realism and traditional art.

GVA has grown to be a place where all artists, of all levels and media are welcome to meet, discuss, learn and grow. We have also grown to a membership as high as 300 in recent years.

Our NEW address is 1345 Monroe Ave, Suite 130, Grand Rapids, MI. (616) 458-0315

We can be contacted by email at GVArtists@gmail.com;

The President of GVA is Robyn Bomhof and she can be contacted at RobynBomhof@gmail.com
