Sweet Earth Arts and Music Festival is an all-inclusive Earth Day celebration for our dynamic Northern Michigan community. It is a means of communicating how to get involved with a multitude of environmental issues locally and globally through a dialogue with music, art and interactive activities. The festival will take place on April 16 from 1-6 p.m. at the Hagerty Conference Center on NMC’s Great Lakes Campus.
Each year we invite regionally based musicians to perform at the celebration. This year’s lineup includes Oh Brother Big Sister, The Charlie Millard Band, The Drinkard Sisters, Third Coast Kings, and The Ragbirds. Stay tuned for announcements of other exciting performers!
Beyond collaborating with many of our local organizations in Traverse City, we host hands on activities for all ages including a science corner for kids, seed-ball making, a compost-worm petting zoo, an arts and crafts table using recyclable materials, and much more. And returning for the second year in a row is our Sweet Earth Artist Market featuring some of the many talented artisans in Northern Michigan.
This year will also be the 2nd annual Sweet Earth Artist Market. Interested vendors should complete the application form by March 6 – $50 for indoor space and $40 for outdoor space. Vendors will be picked by a jury selection. You can find the form at nmc.edu/seam
