Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Monday, July 14, 2025.Summer is in full swing here in Traverse City and the local arts scene is buzzing with activity. If you are looking for some creative inspiration today, head over to the Crooked Tree Arts Center’s Cornwell Gallery at 11 o’clock, where the “Turning TC” exhibit is showcasing beautiful wooden artworks by the Northwestern Michigan Woodturners Club. Their pieces highlight the meticulous art of turning wood on a lathe and you’ll be amazed at how everyday trees are transformed into stunning works of art. Right next door in the Carnegie Rotunda, the “Paint Grand Traverse 2025” extended exhibit is still up, featuring vibrant pieces created by talented plein air artists from across the region. Both shows run through late August, so you have time, but there’s nothing like seeing them fresh after a weekend influx of new work.For more locally made art, swing by the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s “Members Create” exhibit, which is free to attend. Showcasing paintings, fiber, sculpture, and metalwork from 55 area artists, this is a wonderful snapshot of the creativity here in northern Michigan. The exhibit is open from noon to four today, perfect for a midday cultural break.If shopping local is your thing, the Outdoor Mini Farmers Market at the Village at Grand Traverse Commons runs from 1 to 5 this afternoon. You can pick up fresh vegetables, baked goods, and herbs, all sourced from area growers and bakers. It is an easy way to support our local food community and find some inspiration for tonight’s dinner.After the sun goes down, live music fills the air. Larry Perkins will be performing at French Valley tonight, bringing his signature style to this cozy local venue. If you’re around Glen Arbor, the River Club is wrapping up its summer live music series today, giving you that perfect lakeside soundtrack. And for those craving something a bit different, Jammin Mondays on Betsie Bay will fill your evening with Motown, soul, and some classic rock and pop favorites, starting at 7. Over in Benzie, the Benzie Community Chorus presents “Mostly Sunny,” a feel-good evening of familiar tunes.Nature enthusiasts can join the Wing Watchers group for an early evening nature walk and talk, or catch a new twist on the radio dial by visiting WUWU’s open house at 5:30 to learn about Elberta’s brand new community radio station.Whether you’re out for art, music, local flavors, or just a walk in the summer air, there is something today for everyone.
