The Kalamazoo Institute of art is a very good museum. it has predominantly art from 20th century and from 19 century. It also houses classes for the Kalamazoo Institute of art. The interesting aspect of the museum for me was the way the artworks were arranged, and the information that is provided for them. I especially liked the compare and comparison in the temporary exhibition that they had in October 2024. The museum has great lighting, and the architecture is designed so that the artwork can be viewed easily and without disruption. The sculptures outside of the museum are well placed. There is a parking across the street for the museum. The museum has three levels.The third level houses the offices for the museum, the ground level is the temporary exhibitions and day lower level houses the Art institute classes as well as the permanent collection. There are many events and workshops held in the museum. The museum is available for rentals for weddings and other events

As artists scheduled to participate in the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts Fair this year, we wanted to thank and give a shout out to Nancy Waldoch, who has been most responsive and efficient in providing artists with information about the Fair, including a Zoom meeting conducted last Friday. In the many shows we have done, there has never been a Zoom meeting. This was a first. She had security at the meeting to answer questions and present precautions. Thank you, Jason. We really got the sense that Nancy had artists needs in mind when she created the placement of the booths. Thank you, Nancy and all the awesome people at the KIA creating ART opportunities. You Rock! #ArtistsSupportingArtists

Absolutely incredible artwork. Wow Wow! I felt so much energy screaming at me, most all which resonated. Amazing artists from an amazing little town. Definitely made me walk out in awe and feeling hopeful for the future and human life- you feel it, you get it!! Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy your artwork! I visited 11/12/21

There are always unique and excellently curated special exhibits here. The recent exhibit of quilts was great, and I always enjoy the works by local artists. It is one of my favorite places to visit when in Kalamazoo. In addition to the great art, don't miss the gift shop, which always is great for cute Christmas gifts.

Super nice place and it's only $5 to get in and look at some beautiful artwork by so many artists. I spent most of the two hours we had left in town looking at the art. This sculpture of a human figure was one of my absolute favorite in the hole gallery and this was done by a young artist in Kalamazoo.
