Overview

Transformational: Stories of Northern Michigan Arts & Culture is part of a Community Partners project led by the Northwest Michigan Arts & Culture Network, Michigan Writers and Interlochen Public Radio that uses storytelling to explore the role creativity, arts and culture play in furthering our communities and our lives, and how our unique, scenic corner of Northern Michigan has infused and informed the works-literary, visual, performance, cultural-that are created here. Transformational is supported in part by an award from Michigan Arts & Culture Council.
