The Kruizenga Art Museum (KAM) first opened its doors on September 8th, 2015 with a mission to educate, engage, and inspire the students, faculty, staff, and alumni of Hope College by exhibiting art from a wide variety of world cultures and historical periods. This exhibition is a retrospective, featuring highlights from 19 exhibitions that were shown at the KAM during the fall and spring academic semesters from 2015 to the present. The exhibitions are arranged chronologically and include brief descriptions of each show’s contents.The KAM is immensely grateful to all the donors whose gifts of artworks and funds have supported the museum’s first ten years of exhibitions. The museum also thanks all the students who participated in the exhibitions as interns and guest curators, and the faculty members who mentored them. 

On view August 29th through December 13th, 2025
