Art
of Aviation Comes to BC
There is no runway at the Art Center of Battle Creek,
but that won’t stop over fifty aircraft from landing
this summer. For the first time in West Michigan,
the Art Center will host an aviation art exhibit showing
the work of the nation’s top aviation artists. The
artwork will scream adventure, portray danger and reach
to the stratosphere like no other art exhibition. This
will be the lead event of a regional celebration of “The
Art of Aviation.” The program of events will
take off on April 20th and continue through July 25th.
The celebration is also tagged “Prepare to Soar.”
