The Friars, the a capella subset of the University of Michigan Men's Glee Club, will perform at the City Opera House on Saturday, January 17 at 8pm.

For more than 60 years, The Friars have been "entertaining" audiences with questionable choreography, bad dad jokes and boy-band hits. Don't miss your chance to hear a fun evening of music performed by this talented and entertaining group!

Let's celebrate Michigan's 189th Birthday!

Join us for a slice of cake and make a birthday card to wish Michigan a happy birthday! TADL will gather all the cards made and send them to Governor Whitmer to show how much love we have here for our beautiful state.

Learn about the importance of native plants and the cold-moist stratification process that many native seeds need to grow! Using recycled materials, we will choose and sow native seeds in containers to take home and set outside for the remainder of the winter season. Come spring, the seeds will germinate at their own rate with little interference - ready to be planted soon after!
This is a really fun and low-pressure way to get your hands in some soil and add new native species to your garden - or start one. Bring a friend and make it an afternoon! All levels of green-thumb are welcome/encouraged.

This workshop is one of three happening at different locations the same week - led by the Northwest Michigan Invasive Species Network (ISN).

Tickets for online payment and instructions to pay via cash/check are on the registration form that can be found here: https://www.habitatmatters.org/events.html

How can we live better, and dwell more thoroughly in our homes? Two Northern Michigan interior designers explore that question on January 18, 1 pm at the Glen Arbor Arts Center.

This conversation takes place as part of the GAAC’s INteriors exhibition. It is facilitated by GAAC Gallery Manager Sarah Bearup-Neal.

The program is free.

Gretchen Knoblock, design director of the Traverse City firm New Leaf Interiors, and Karen Van Nort, a home stager and designer located in Leelanau County, will reflect on the ways they’ve helped clients make their interiors livable and congenial. What essential design elements ground homeowners in their personal space? And, what does it mean to bring the outside indoors?

In the event of inclement weather, Dwelling: A Conversation About Living Well will take place February 8, 1 pm. INteriors, an exhibition about real and imagined inner
spaces, runs January 9 - March 12 in the GAAC’s Main Gallery.
