Art for a Cure

Color outside the lines with Van Andel Institute’s Student Ambassadors at Art for a Cure, a unique evening combining science, education and art — all in the name of raising funds for Van Andel Institute. Art for a Cure will take place on Thursday, March 20, 6–8 p.m. at VAI.

Art for a Cure is a fundraiser organized by VAI’s Student Ambassadors — a group of passionate, emerging leaders from across West Michigan. These students are drawn to making a difference in their community by supporting research into diseases like cancer and Parkinson’s while learning valuable skills in marketing and event planning.

At the center of the event will be a silent auction filled with art pieces from students and up-and-coming artists from Grand Rapids. You’ll have the opportunity to bid on these art pieces, all while getting an inside look at the Institute and chatting with these dedicated student leaders. All proceeds from Art for a Cure benefit biomedical research at Van Andel Institute.

This event is free to attend, however, we ask that you register ahead of time. Register to attend Art for a Cure at the button above.

Light refreshments will be provided. 

Young artists from around Grand Rapids have donated their work to Van Andel Institute to raise funds for research into diseases like cancer and Parkinsons. Art donations can be made by clicking the “Art Donation” above.
