Skeleton Crew -- Debut Concert
Music in the Gallery series

This trio is so new they don't even have a group photo, but it's likely you'll know the musicians if you've been to Instrumental Music in downtown Ludington or seen local bands like Savanna, Nightwind, and Acoustic Brew.   Jeff Hoyer, Dave North, and Russ Buck have teamed up to form Skeleton Crew, performing classic 60's, 70's and 80's rock with a lot of British invasion.  

Dave North, the trio's guitarist, is the manager of Instrumental Music; On bass and keyboards is Russ Buck who teaches guitar at Instrumental and Jeff Hoyer, manager of the store's drum department plays drums in Skeleton Crew.

Admission is $5.  Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase.  No reservations needed; just come on down!  The music will go from 8 to 10:00 p.m.

Creative Minds, Changing Minds Exhibit
Through the end of July

West Michigan Community Mental Health System (WMCMHS) is hosting a statewide traveling art show, "Creative Minds, Changing Minds."

The show features the original work of 32 artists who access Community Mental Health services across Michigan.   The two-year art show is intended to help de-stigmatize mental illness, developmental disabilities and substance use disorders by showcasing the multidimensionality of the artists and to highlight the recovery potential of art. 

Given WMCMHS serves three counties in the area, the exhibit is divided among three locations: in Mason County at the Ludington Area Center for the Arts; in Lake County at Lake-Osceola State Bank in Baldwin; and in Oceana County at Mercy Health Partners Lakeshore Campus in Shelby.

The exhibit is free and open to the public during the Center's business hours - Tuesday through Saturday, 12:00-5:30 p.m.
