Welcome to the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts! Since 1924, the KIA has offered art classes to the whole community and a place for the enjoyment of the visual arts through exhibitions, lectures, special events and a permanent collection. The KIA's mission is to cultivate the creation and appreciation of the visual arts for the communities of West Michigan.

Ten galleries showcase outstanding temporary exhibitions and the KIA's significant permanent collection. While the collection's emphasis is 20th-century American painting and sculpture, it also includes a European and American print collection, as well as important collections of photography and contemporary ceramics. The collection includes works by local, national and international artists, including the stunning glass chandelier by Dale Chihuly that hangs in the foyer.

Be a part of the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts with your name, or the name of your family, corporation or service club engraved on a brick that will proudly set in the KIA Courtyard.
