 Traverse City Recognized as #10 Most Arts Vibrant
Medium Sized Community in the U.S.

Traverse City was named the #10 Most Arts Vibrant Middle Size Community in the U.S. by SMU DataArts. The region was previously recognized in 2018 and 2016. SMU DataArts released the  2020 Arts Vibrancy Index, which ranks more than 900 communities across the country, examining the level of supply, demand and government support for the arts in each city. The report highlights the top 20 most arts-vibrant large cities in the U.S., alongside lists for the top 10 medium and top 10 small communities. The report notes Traverse City area as one of the smallest of the middle-size communities. Also included is the Arts Vibrancy Map noting data for every county in the country. The report can be accessed here.
 

Call for Northern Michigan Artists

As the Building the Future of Health Care expansion project progresses, McLaren Northern Michigan Foundation (Foundation) would like to visually celebrate, through the eyes of area artists, northern Michigan and the special place it holds in the hearts of all who reside in or visit the region. On behalf of the Foundation, Distinctive Art Source, a consulting firm specializing in art programs for health care settings, will carefully select over 300 pieces of artwork for purchase and installation in the new wing on the Petoskey campus, scheduled to open early Summer 2021.
 
Artwork will be chosen for therapeutic properties benefitting its viewers, including patients, visitors and staff. Selected art content will reflect the natural beauty of northern Michigan along with the outdoor lifestyle that provides multi-generational family enjoyment. Art content may include regional lakes and rivers, farmland, orchards and vistas, flora and fauna native to northern Michigan, beloved local landmarks, festivals and events, and outdoor recreation such as boating, skiing, biking, and fishing.
