This year's RAD Fest -- the 10th annual -- was phenomenal! My family hosted two dancers from…read moreDetroit, the duo known as Thank You for Coming, and as hosts were invited to grab tickets for any shows we would like to attend so I had the good fortune to enjoy much of this year's festival. There was such a wide breadth of performances, ranging comical to heartbreaking, musical to musicless (and even Saturday evening's final performance in which the audience was enlisted to provide some of the music themselves in a call and response). A few of the pieces left me goosepimply and gutted, while others stirred belly laughs. Kalamazoo is so fortunate to have a festival of this caliber in our backyard on a yearly basis.

Absolutely stunning…read more I have no shortage of good things to say about this company. I just got a sneak peek of their performance debuting next week and wow.. so eloquent, dazzling and heartfelt. I was welcomed with open arms and my experience here was so pleasant. I would love to actually take dance classes here (which they offer) so cool! The atmosphere is warm and cozy and the dancers are so talented and passionate. The event was absolutely amazing per usual and I really appreciated the time and effort they put in to let us get a peek of the full show which I am sure will be amazing. If you're considering, definitely come see a show here! The percussion to accompany their upcoming show is so unique and I left in awe. I brought my mom this time around and she was talking about it the whole way home! haha she's a big nerd and this was SO up her alley, mine too! You definitely wont regret coming to see a show here and I know I will be back! :D

There is free parking available in parking lots across from entrances on South and Lovell streets. The museum wasn't busy when we were there, which was nice as we were able to leisurely wander the galleries. It's not a huge museum, but I loved the Kyungmi Shin: A Story to Finding Us exhibit (through May 12, 2024). The artworks were stunning and I loved trying to find hidden images in each. The other main exhibit was American Realism: Visions of America, 1900-1950, which didn't resonate with me personally as much, but it was still interesting to see. The permanent collection downstairs was nice - I especially liked the Tiffany lamps and jewelry. There is a Chihuly sculpture hanging in the entryway, which is really cool to see. The gift shop is nicely curated with lots of great books, gifts, and more. Nate got a cute little cat shaped ceramic chopstick rest!
