Michigan Film Fest 2010

It's now only a month away until the 2nd annual Michigan Film Fest. in downtown Grand Rapids, MI. Last year I was on a panel discussing music for film and this year I'm honored to be serving on a committee. It's shaping up to be a great event, with more films, more seminars, and more speakers. Of particular interest will be the Music Supervisors Showcase, where Michigan musicians will be showing off their songs for industry professionals. (Unfortunately, this will be a private portion of the fest, for industry professionals and not open to the general public.) If you are free Nov. 12-14 and near Grand Rapids, MI, consider taking in this entertaining and informative event.

ArtPrize

Grand Rapids was host for the second year to the innovative art competition, ArtPrize. It was bigger and better than ever! It's creators describe it as "a very different art competition, the goal is for the general public and artists to collide, exchange ideas and come away changed." It is tremendously inspiring to see so much excellent and diverse art all showcased in and about the city. Not only that, but it has been a fantastic draw for the city of Grand Rapids, and further boosts it's reputation as an up and coming "cool city". I'm continually blown away with the creative and innovative spirit that is present in West Michigan and I am so glad that I call it my home!
