The Upper Peninsula Arts and Culture Alliance is looking for volunteers
Alliance President Sue Roll said they are trying to grow to include every county in the U.P.
She says the Alliance is currently in need of volunteers in helping to reach their goals, along with Board representatives from Menominee, Baraga, Luce, Schoolcraft, Chippewa, Ontonagon and Keweenaw Counties.
“We need more representation from these areas of the U.P. to continue the goal of the Alliance to foster creativity, connections and collaborations between artists, historians, performers, organizations and audiences in the Upper Peninsula, all while encouraging the adoption of arts and culture-sustaining initiatives and policies to enhance the quality of life in the U.P.”
Roll noted that these groups closely align with the economic development, recreation and tourism industries, ultimately creating a thriving future for our region.
She summed up the goals of the Alliance in the U.P.: “We want to connect with arts and cultural organizations, artists, historians, and curators,” she said. “We want to help the Upper Peninsula grow as an arts and culture destination, which will ultimately help us retain young people in the U.P. and help it to continue being a place they want to visit and stay.”
