Visiting artist series
Hello, Everyone,
We hope this post finds you, all, in good health and spirits, as we enter Spring and await Summer, this year, 2024.
For the month of May, we are excited to be taking Visiting Artist down the road to:
downtown Douglas, Michigan, at the:
Ox-Bow House
137 Center St, Douglas, MI 49406
Tuesday May 14th
6:00 - 7:00 PM
Please join us to hear the Incomparable Maggie Clifford-Bandstra present about her experiences at Ox-Bow and how those experiences impact her creative practice.
If you're not already familiar with Maggie here is a quick overview:
For more info, go to her website: https://www.maggiebandstra.com/about.html
In 2021, Bandstra completed her M.F.A. in painting from Savannah College of Art and Design. Bandstra has a master's in Educational Leadership from Michigan State University and a B.S. in Education from the Loyola University of Chicago. Maggie was an elementary art teacher for Hudsonville Public Schools from 1998 to 2020. In 2014, she started curating pop-up art shows with the mission of helping artists connect with their community. These networking events grew into the Lakeshore Visual Arts Collective, a 501c3. She was a drawing, Art Ed, and Ceramics Adjunct at Hope College in Holland, Michigan, 2022-2023 and currently works part-time at Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists’ Residency as the Manager of Retail Programming.
Her paintings and pottery are nature abstracted. Her work uses movement and patterns to deliver a healing message. She encourages us to take notice of the beauty in the world around us. The unifying undercurrent in Maggie’s work plays with ideas and concepts surrounding nature, healing, and the human connection. In 2014, she started curating pop-up art shows with the mission of helping artists connect with their community. These networking events grew into the Lakeshore Visual Arts Collective, a 501c3.
Hope you can come.
