Muskegon Community College’s Overbrook Art Gallery will present “Four Reasons,” an exhibition featuring the work of four local artists: Ken Foster, Lee Brown, Fred Reineke and Gale Nobes. The exhibition will run November 2, 2026,  through December 10, 2026, offering visitors an opportunity to explore the stories, perspectives and creative approaches expressed through photography and sculpture.

The public is invited to a free artist talk and opening reception on Wednesday, November 4, 2026.  The artist talk will take place from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., followed by a public reception from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Visitors can meet the artists, hear about their work and gain insight into the ideas and processes behind their creations.

“It’s incredible to have not just one, but four different artists featured in a single exhibition,” said Erin Hoffman, art faculty at Muskegon Community College. “Each artist brings a unique perspective, style and way of telling a story through art. Bringing their work together gives visitors the chance to see different approaches side by side, discover what connects them and appreciate the many ways artists interpret the world around them.”

The Overbrook Art Gallery provides opportunities for students, employees and community members to engage with visual art and experience the work of artists with varied backgrounds and creative perspectives. Exhibitions such as “Four Reasons” encourage visitors to look more closely at the ideas, techniques and personal stories that shape artistic expression.

The exhibition will be on display in the Overbrook Art Gallery at Muskegon Community College, 221 S. Quarterline Road, Muskegon.
