Gifts of Art presents the Michigan Medicine Employee Art Exhibition 2025

Each year Gifts of Art presents an in-person exhibition of artwork by Michigan Medicine faculty, staff, learners, volunteers and family members. It showcases the exceptional talent, creativity and accomplishments of artists in the extensive (~30,000+) Michigan Medicine community. There are artist-juried ribbon awards for Best in Category, Best in Show, and a People's Choice award determined by online voting. This entire show is not for sale.

This year there were 82 submissions of art by 58 different artists, thirteen of which were family members, with the youngest artist being 3 years old!. Over 400 votes were cast for the People's Choice Award. This year's juror was Mark Clague, Ph.D. from the University of Michigan.*
