Muskegon Museum of Art

We're in our rebrand era 🖤 With the museum expansion entering the final stages of completion, we are extremely excited to roll out a new and much needed refresh of the MMA's brand idenity and online presence. It's no secret that big changes have been happening here at the Muskegon Museum of Art. The new expansion (the Bennett-Schmidt Pavilion) will nearly double the size of the museum and bring a whole new experience for visitors. Additionally, the museum has been increasingly gaining attention on a national scale. In fact, this past summer, we brought in visitors from 46 states and 22 different countries. Heading toward the national spotlight means we needed a brand that didn't fall flat when we are in front of national audiences. So, as you have been watching the MMA grow from the outside, we have been working behind the scenes to elevate the MMA in ways that meet the needs of stepping onto the national stage and shifting from a small-town art museum to a destination location. Go check our our brand new website - https://lnkd.in/ednxJbF A special thanks to the people who helped make this exciting rebrand happen. - MMA Marketing Committee - Brand Identity Design - WillyRoo Designs - Website Design and Development - Extra Credit Projects - The MMA Board of Trustees, staff, museum members, donors, and our community for the valuable insight and feedback during our research phase of this project.

We’re taking full advantage of the sunny weather we’ve been having here at the Muskegon Museum of Art. ☀ Pouring concrete is crucial to construction for several reasons. It’s the foundation for all subsequent operations. With concrete in place, other crucial tasks can continue smoothly, allowing each step to build upon this solid foundation. By getting the concrete poured now, our teams are getting ahead of the game, thanks to the favorable weather here in West Michigan. #BuildingSuccess #MuskegonMuseumOfArt #WestMichigan

"The Muskegon Museum of Art has revitalized the downtown area. Public art has grown in the community, with projects like the Muskegon City Public Art Initiative. And now another generation is coming up and being introduced to art museums,” Hallman said. "Art museums are community centers, offering programming and partnerships with other organizations." Hallman hopes the museum will have a bigger national footprint as it continues to grow. The museum continues to stay open to the community throughout the construction process. MMA is so thrilled to be a part of this project and we can't wait to see the lasting impact the museum will have on current and future generations. https://lnkd.in/dnz_NkzX Annum Architects (Formerly Ann Beha Architects), Erhardt Construction, Prein&Newhof, Construction Simplified #mathisonarchitects #mma #muskegonmuseumofart #expansion #bennettschmidtpavillion
