DLECTRICITY, a new illuminated art festival for Detroit
DLECTRICITY is a new nighttime, outdoor contemporary art festival that will invite emerging and established artists, performers, lighting designers, and architects to make site-specific installations of light, sound, performance and projection along the Woodward corridor Friday, October 5 and Saturday, October 6, 2012.

February Michigan Event Calendar
Our February Calendar shows that the more the weather tries to keep us holed up inside, the more ways we find to get out and have fun!! Of course, there's still many, many more and we invite you to fill us in on other February events in the comments section.

Holiday Giving, Reconsidered
While the holiday season is a great time to share our love, good thoughts, and Michigan-made gifts with friends & family, choosing to make donations to charities in lieu of buying gifts could be a really great way to allocate some extra funds to non-profits that desperately need it. We talk with Rob Collier of the Council of Michigan Foundations and list some great Michigan charities!
