North of the 45th Reception

DeVos Art Museum

North of the 45th is an annual juried exhibition of artists living in the geographical area north of the 45th parallel in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. This line, known as the halfway point between the equator and the north pole, is often associated with being “up north.” The Exhibition highlights artists living in this upper Midwest region from rural and urban areas.

Michael Andrews is the selected juror for the 2023 North of the 45th exhibition. Curiosity drives Andrews’ expansive and multi-specialized practice in the arts. An artist and educator, Andrews’ experience stems from working in college level art schools, artist residencies, nonprofits, small business incubators, and design-focused retail. Andrews earned a BFA from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art.
