Artist Bio
Glenn is a fairly new artist in the artWorks program. He is a multi-talented artist with a primary focus on watercolors. He is intentional with each brushstroke and enjoys spending time with his work of art during the creation process. His “Pitcher of Fun” is like a burst of color waiting to be poured out, just like the sun is ready to brighten your day. This piece was made to show his care and concern for others in the hopes they would have a great day.
Program Description
MRC artWorks – a program of MRC Industries, Inc. – is a professional working art studio and retail gallery located on the historic Kalamazoo Mall in the heart of downtown Kalamazoo. MRC artWorks offers unique and affordable art created by individuals with disabilities. MRC artWorks provides an outlet for our artists to achieve creative self-expression in a way that promotes personal growth, dignity, and self-confidence. We strive to enrich the community with the diversity of art by promoting our artists’ work through a variety of venues and partnerships. All artists receive a 75% commission from the sale of their work, which not only serves as their source of income, but also enhances and reinforces their self-esteem and self-worth. MRC artWorks provides a safe, positive, and creative environment that focuses on the individual’s abilities rather than their disabilities.
MRC Industries serves individuals in Kalamazoo County with developmental or intellectual disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, emotional impairments, and mental illness to achieve their fullest potential through employment, workforce development, and active community involvement.
