What's up in Lansing: Andrew Sendor artist reception and more

Here's what's going on in town today

Posted

Good day on this chilly Thursday.

One of the Broad Art Museum's ongoing exhibits lets you know exactly what to expect: “Paintings, Drawings and a Film” is the self-descriptive title of artist Andrew Sendor's show at the museum. The exhibit features the artist’s photorealistic drawings alongside paintings that look like recreations of movie stills. The short film, “Fenomeno,” depicts a series of complex rituals performed by a fictional band of mystics. Sendor’s work draws attention to the contrived nature of images, blurring the lines between artistic genres. Today’s reception features an artist talk; the show is open until April 24. 6:30 p.m. FREE. Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum, 547 E. Circle Drive, East Lansing. (517) 884-4800, broadmuseum.msu.edu.

Hot soup meets hot debate today at SoupGrant, where local organizations face off in a battle to win the hearts of the community. SoupGrant is a monthly meeting where two groups present ideas for projects that would benefit the region. Visitors enjoy a bowl of soup while they hear the pitches and vote for the plan they would like to see come to life. At the end of the night, the winning idea takes home the money raised at the door. This month's participants are the Lansing Women's Soccer Meetup and Voiceless-MI. 6:30 p.m. $5. Grace Lutheran Church, 528 N. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Lansing. soupgrantlansing.com.
