Honoring Jim and Mary Nelson & Jon and MaryAnn McDonald
Thank you to everyone who attended and supported this year’s Live Artfully event. The Live Artfully tradition highlights those individuals who have left a mark on the vibrant art and diverse culture we enjoy in West Michigan. This year we paid tribute to two couples who share a kinship and passion for art, education, and the environment — Jim & Mary Nelson and Jon & MaryAnn McDonald. Proceeds from this year’s event support GRAM’s mission of connecting people through art, creativity, and design.
Host Committee: Chris & Tracey Carter, Andrew & Catherine Goodwillie, Patrick & Ligia Goodwillie, Walt & Katie Nelson, Cindy Burch, Therese Comor, David Gianfredi, and Annie Jacobs.
Honorary In-house Council: Carol Muth
Please note: programming at GRAM is running with enhanced safety measures, including face covering requirements regardless of vaccination status while indoors, regular sanitization and cleaning, and restricting the sharing of tools/materials among participants.
