Kudos!

We are so happy to applaud Leslie Donaldson, a founding and current board member of the Northwest Michigan Arts & Culture Network on her new position as the first CEO for Commongrounds Cooperative in Traverse City beginning in June. Commongrounds will also be the new home for the Northwest Michigan Arts & Culture Network’s administrative office when the building opens in October as well as another new venue for the performing and visual arts. Bravo!
