Since it started in 2018, the World of Winter Festival (WOW) has invited all of us to rethink how we “do winter” here in Grand Rapids by filling the downtown with brightly colored artwork to enjoy during the day and night.
Grand Rapids-based artist Mandy Cano Villalobos's work is part of the brightness that shines amid the winter’s gray days and early nights. As you’ll see in our conversation, her work also offers us a way to rethink our relationship with our things, and by extension, with each other.
Downtown Grand Rapids, Inc. (DGRI) has been particularly thoughtful in highlighting the artwork of local artists, especially women and BIPOC artists, as part of the festival. Cano Villalobos’ WOW piece, “Carnevale,” is now on display at DeVos Place Convention Center through March 5.
