Last Spring, The Mackinac Arts Council worked in collaboration with Mackinac Island Public School to secure a grant from the Community Foundation to take students on a field trip to see ArtPrize in Grand Rapids.
This Grant was funded by the MARLEE BROWN MUSSER COMMUNITY ARTS FUND, Mackinac Arts Council and a donation from Earl Holton.
The goal was to expose the students to world class art and to inspire them to interact with artwork and express themselves creatively.
Among the students were the MIPS Photo Club who enjoyed taking photographs of the artwork and posing with it as well.
All of the students who attended were amazed by the artwork and expressed having a great time.
To explore all of the funds held at the Community Foundation and for information on how to donate, please visit our website at

Very wonderful. Earl Holton, the philanthropist got his start in Cedar Springs, Michigan. He started as a grocery bagger for Meijers in Cedar Springs. He worked his way all the way up to being one of the presidents of the Meijers Corporation. Sticking with a job and not job jumping paid off and he gave us all a great lesson of stick- to- it -ness
