Calhoun County Arts

The Calhoun County Arts Council is pulling together a county-wide coloring book that will feature history in Athens, Albion, Battle Creek, Homer, Marshall and Tekonsha. Send in the attached form today to be listed as a sponsor for this project… or to sell copies of this wonderful resource at your location.

Books will be available in September 2012 and copies will be given to every third grader in the Calhoun Intermediate School District during the 2012-2013 school year as they study Michigan history.

Friday, May 18 from 5-9pm will be “Spring into the Arts” in downtown Battle Creek. Be sure to visit Commerce Pointe 77 E. Michigan Avenue to see and hear the art of:

• Margo Bacik
• Marcia Betts
• Tammy Buechle
• Dave Lantis
• Paula Sage
• Jerry Ulrich
• Doug Wolff

Music will be provided by the Community Music School students and faculty.

The Arts in Education grants provided by the Calhoun County Arts Council were created to support arts projects/programs throughout the Calhoun Intermediate School District (CISD) in the areas of visual arts, performing arts, vocal and instrumental music, graphic design, photography, woodworking and forensics as well as attendance and transportation costs for performances. We are providing these grants because in the past several years, school funding has been drastically reduced and teachers often spend their own funds on classroom supplies and projects.

CalhounCounty Arts Council Partners with CIR – adding support to an Environmental Sculpture Project called - Trash2Art.

During the presentation of the check to Community Inclusive Recreation (CIR), Board Chair Paul Jakubiak and Program Manager Sherri Douglas tried out the interactive sculptures along with the lead artist – Sabine LeDieu.
