Based on the 20th Century Fox Picture. When three vastly different office workers - Violet, Judy, and Doralee - are pushed to the brink by their sexist, egotistical boss, they don’t just get mad…they get even. Through a wild mix-up of fantasy, farce, and bold determination, the trio hatches a plan to take control of the office and transform their toxic work environment into a place of respect and possibility.

Hilarious story of 4 Southern women who meet at random attempt to stop their boredom through a hilarious variety of misadventures. They form lasting friendships ultimately rediscovering confidence, joy and the excitement of life.

What if an art space didn’t have to be a gallery, theater, or museum?

Living rooms, vacant storefronts, barns, community spaces, and other unexpected places can create new opportunities for artists and audiences to connect. This Caffeinated Conversation invites participants to expand our thinking about where art can happen and explore the potential for non-traditional art spaces across Northwest Michigan.

Facilitated by Katrina Daniels, the conversation will draw inspiration from successful examples of alternative art spaces while inviting participants to imagine possibilities within their own communities. This is a collaborative conversation, not a presentation. Come ready to share ideas, learn from others, and imagine new places for art to take root across our region.

This session is designed for:
Artists and creative workers
Art & culture professionals / administrators
Community leaders and organizers
Anyone curious about creating new spaces for art

Workshop is free but must register to attend.
