Yesterday we celebrated alongside the artists who contributed their work to the Wheelway Art Walk at the ribbon cutting ceremony. As part of the City of Petoskey Public Art Commission’s new installation, 20 artists contributed a 4’ x 4’ painting that can now be found along the Bayfront across from the baseball fields. We are so proud of our friend and colleague along with many of other CTAC family artists like .art 💛 congrats!!

🎶 ☀️ Join us for our final LIVE ON THE BIDWELL concert of the summer 2026 season with Finding Feathers next Tuesday, August 25 from 5:30 - 7:00 pm. Held outside on the Bidwell Plaza (461 E. Mitchell St.), this is a free, family friendly show with a cash bar.

Finding Feathers (formerly know as the Seth Brown Duo) just released their new album Human this past Spring and have been touring the Great Lakes region. A unique genre bending blend of Americana folk with rock & roll flair, their sound draws listeners into universal truths of the human kind. We are so excited to welcome them back after playing Concerts in the Park earlier this month.

Vocals, Guitar, Songwriting: Seth Brown
Vocals, Percussion, Songwriting: Desiree Brown

To say we miss our summer interns is an understatement. From giving Jimothy a tour around our campus and prepping countless newsletter communications to introducing performers at concerts in the park and helping young students find a safe place to be themselves in our summer camps, Nicole, Morgan, and Callie had a clear impact on the summer operations here at CTAC! We are so grateful to these three and the generous donor that funded the summer internship opportunities.

➡️ to hear what Nicole, Morgan, and Callie have to say about their time here!
