We are grateful for the wonderful feature by Erica Hobbs who beautifully captured our commitment to bring artists, energy, and opportunity into Michigan’s rural communities.
More than 70 people stopped by our Open Studio event last Sunday - artists, neighbors, and families of all kinds enjoying local BBQ (shout out to Dragon's Breath), sharing stories, listening to music, learning about marionettes, taking tours, and imagining themselves in our newly updated studio spaces. Special thanks to Cecily Donnelly for her current exhibition Landscapes & Structures.

Slow work welcome. Your quilting community. Spread it out. Your idea. Let’s hear it. Not sure yet?Come anyway.
And thank you to journalist Brad Heineman of The Clinton Local / Tecumseh Herald, who attended Rhythmic Dimensions, percussionist Jonathan Brown’s performance.
Our names are Katherine and Jon. We met in 2020 and immediately hit it off, bonding over our shared love of silly, ambitious art. Silly, ambitious art requires space and lots of it. But that is a problem for people like Jon and me, because we’ve always lived in smaller spaces.
Eventually, our art really scaled up when we decided to take on the build of a 26-foot geodesic dome. After creating our materials list, we looked around our current space and realized we needed to expand, as our setup wasn’t going to cut it.
That realization is what pushed us to find a new workspace. Read the whole story here.
