REACH Studio Art Center opens Lansing’s first youth gallery

Joy Baldwin

Last night, hundreds of people headed to REO Town for the opening of Lansing’s first youth art gallery. The show featured the work of students from REACH Studio Art Center, a nonprofit community arts center.The new gallery is the first step in a planned expansion of the Center, which will eventually occupy five storefronts on Washington Avenue.

Current State’s April Van Buren stopped by REACH last week to get a tour of the gallery and talk to some of the teens about the impact art has had on their lives.
