The estimates are in! The Arts Council of White Lake – Nuveen (ACWL-Nuveen) had approximately 350+ visitors stroll through the Made in Michigan Market at their space on November 21 between the hours of 2:00pm – 8:00pm. The weather cooperated this year to help promote the great turnout and steady stream of shoppers all day.
The Made in Michigan Market has been an opportunity for non-Artist Members of ACWL-Nuveen to sell their work in the retail gallery. This year, six artists were selected to put up a table and sell their handcrafted items. ACWL-Nuveen also wanted to put a spotlight on their own Artist Members this year by putting together an under $40 gift table. Also new at the Market were live Artist Member demonstrations. Cara O’Brien and Suzanne Moynihan kicked things off this year giving demos on making ceramic and glass ornaments. Visitors got to watch and interact with both of these talented artists and buy their work.
Always a crowd pleaser was ACWL-Nuveen Director Erin Peyer at the piano taking requests and playing for tips with proceeds going to the ACWL-Nuveen. This year she had an impromptu guest, ACWL-Nuveen Board member Chris Jones singing along to entertain the crowd. There are rumors that they are getting together a lounge act!
Also helping to get the White Lake community in the spirit during the Holiday Walk a group of roving carolers from Whitehall High School visited the ACWL-Nuveen and impressed all in attendance – check out their performance below.
