Celebrate the rise of visual arts in the Grand Traverse Region and the legacy and rich history of the NMC Art Department in the reformatted second edition of this retrospective, A Colorful Cast.
Stewarded by Paul Welch and Ann Swaney and authored by Heather Shumaker, A Colorful Cast highlights the men and women who created a wave of visual arts in the Grand Traverse Region and celebrates the role that NMC and its Fine Arts Department played in building regional interest in visual arts. The galleries, the studios, and the festivals that now draw thousands to our region, all were influenced by the vibrant learning environment of the College and the artists who have gathered and learned here.
Copies of A Colorful Cast are $29.95 and are available at the Dennos Museum gift shop, Horizon Books in downtown Traverse City, Twisted Fish Gallery in Elk Rapids, and through the NMC Foundation by calling (231) 995-1021. Proceeds from the sale of A Colorful Cast will go to support visual arts scholarships at Northwestern Michigan College.
The printing of this reformatted edition was made possible by the diligent efforts of Ann Swaney, Adriana Beddoe, Tom Gorsline, and project coordinator and underwriter Peg Jonkhoff.

TRAVERSE CITY — The Great Lakes Culinary Institute at Northwestern Michigan College (NMC) has been named among the 30 best culinary schools for 2018 by Best Value Schools.
This ranking was created using the National Center for Education Statistics’ College Navigator database to identify the 30 best culinary schools in the United States based on the following methodology:
The Great Lakes Culinary Institute’s facility is located on NMC’s Great Lakes Campus. It is comprised of four culinary labs including a bakery, introductory and food skills kitchen, an advanced cooking kitchen, a garde manger kitchen, a beverage management outlet and Lobdell’s, a 90-seat training restaurant.
“NMC is proud to have grown the Great Lakes Culinary Institute from its beginning to the impressive program it is today, producing incredible chefs and culinary entrepreneurs practicing throughout our region and around the world,” says Timothy J. Nelson, NMC President. “We are also excited to be a leader in the future of this field, developing new ways to engage with and educate the culinary leaders of tomorrow.”
