Friends of Jim
Leap into the whimsical worlds imagined by filmmaker, artist, performer, and innovator Jim Henson this fall at the Grand Rapids Art Museum!
We’re thrilled to announce that The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited will be on view at the Museum October 1, 2022 through January 14, 2023. Organized by the Museum of the Moving Image, Imagination Unlimited is a transportive exhibition overflowing with over 170 of Henson’s iconic creations. Visitors will come face-to-face with their favorite characters while exploring how Henson and his close-knit team brought to life some of the most endearing and universally beloved characters ever committed to screen.
Exhibitions are made possible by the generosity of our members and friends. We hope that you will consider joining us by becoming an Exhibition Sponsor today! Your sponsorship comes with numerous benefits and allows the Museum to activate unique community partnerships and collaborations, such as specially designed tours and workshops for children from Head Start for Kent County and Grand Rapids YMCA.
