The community is warmly invited to the Artist Meet & Greet night on Thursday, February 26, 2026, from 6:00pm to 8:00pm at the IQhub, located at 3055 W. M-21, St. Johns. This event marks the grand finale of Art Explosion 6.0, as the special winter exhibit will conclude that evening. Attendees will have the chance to mingle with artists and learn about the inspiration behind their works featured in Art Explosion 6.0. Guests can vote for their favorite artwork, and many pieces will be available for purchase. Awards will be presented to the top artist in five different categories, and refreshments such as lemonade, water, and cookies will be provided.

 

“Local artists have transformed the IQhub with their incredible creations! The displays include a variety of mediums such as paintings, drawings, wood carvings, metal sculptures, photography, and jewelry. There are also special pieces that were showcased in ArtPrize in Grand Rapids and ScrapFest in Lansing. Join us on February 26th to celebrate and appreciate the remarkable talent of these gifted artists,” stated Troy Bancroft, Chairman of the IQhub Board.
