Communities work to keep their local economies and the arts alive,
and the Bloomfield/Birmingham area has a unique event that combines both
each year. Next weekend, 10/13 through 10/15, the 26th
Annual Our Town Art Show and Sale will take place at the Community House
in Birmingham, MI. A celebration of Michigan’s rich artistic community,
the event will showcase over 300 pieces of artwork, featuring more than
200 artists, and give attendees the opportunity to buy and sell
artwork.
The Community House began in 1921, when “a small group of women officially committed themselves to the concept that ‘a house big enough for dances, mass meetings, concerts and plays’ was need in the community, and they pledged to raise funds to establish such a center.” (source) Since then, the Community House has worked to build community through programming, and promoting the arts. Its mission is to “improve and enrich” the lives of community members, providing numerous and diverse opportunities to bring the community together, celebrate diversity and promote education and cultural awareness.
The art show will raise funds to benefit The Community House’s outreach programs, and there will be a wide selection of art in different mediums and styles available. Art can revitalize a community and keep its members engaged. According to the Urban Institute’s Arts and Culture Indicators in Communities Project, cultural vitality is “a community’s evidence of creating, disseminating, validating, and supporting arts and culture as a dimension of everyday life.” Will you be joining in the vitality next weekend?
