About Mary Brodbeck Gallery & Studio

                               
My gallery and studio is located at 326 W. Kalamazoo Avenue, Suite 320 in downtown Kalamazoo, Michigan. This three-roomed suite is positioned on the third floor of a century-old renovated wax paper factory now known as the Park Trades Center, where 30 – 40 other creative studios also thrive.
                                    
My woodblock prints are on display in the emerald gallery, the entryway to the studio, as well as prints by guest artists and students. On the first Friday of each month, the Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo organizes an “Art Hop”, in which the Park Trades Center studios are included. The Art Hops are very well attended and add an energizing benefit to being in this location.
    
The workshops are held in a lofty 600 sq ft classroom fitted with educational displays, books, brushes and other tools specific to Japanese woodblock printmaking. Huge northern windows light the workspace. An adjoining office also serves as a storeroom.
