Grand Rapids Art Museum company history timeline

1910

On June 1, 1910 a constitution was adopted establishing the Art Association of Grand Rapids, which eventually became the Grand Rapids Art Museum.

The museum was founded in 1910 under the name Grand Rapids Art Gallery, which was soon altered to its present name.

1981

Initially based in a former residence at 230 Fulton Street, it moved to the historic Federal Building on Pearl Street in 1981.

2002

London-based Munkenbeck+Marshall Architects was appointed architect for the new building in 2002 and developed the design from initial concept to construction document phase.

2004

In 2004, construction began on a new green museum building, which was to be the world's first LEED certified art museum.

In summer 2004, the museum board terminated Munkenbeck+Marshall's involvement and hired architect Kulapat Yantrasast of wHY Architecture to complete the project.
