What is Our Mission?
Our Mission is to connect the community with artists, art buyers and people who love art, through showcasing the fine art originals of local West Michigan Artists at businesses in downtown Muskegon. The LMAW hopes to keep expanding down Western Avenue for the next Art Walk, providing artists a way to sell art and encourage economic growth for the area.
When is the next Art Walk?
Friday and Saturday August 27th and 28th from 11 am to 8 p.m. pm
Where is the Art Walk?
The initial Lake Michigan Art Walk event showcasing some of the area’s best artists will be held in the Frauenthal Center for Performing Arts, Muskegon’s architectural gem known for its “extraordinary beauty and grace.” The Frauenthal will be the hub for future Art Walks as we expand into other area businesses.

Art Cats Gallery is located in the historic Lakeside district of Muskegon and is Muskegon’s premier gallery of fine contemporary craft and original works on paper. Opened in 1999 as a showroom for artist/owner Louise Hopson’s clay pieces, the gallery has grown to include the work of over 40 talented artists.
A graduate from Kendall College of Art and Design, I live and work in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I take oils liquefied in alkyd resins, and paint onto a pre-textured wooden board that is painted solid black. Embedded with dynamic energy and intensity of color, each abstract work promotes feelings of peace and spirituality.
