Arts Night Out returns to Old Town

Posted

FRIDAY, Aug. 13 – Music poured out of Elderly Instruments thanks to folks gathered inside for a jam session, while artisan Jeff Johnson demonstrated how to craft handmade broomsticks on the sidewalk right outside of Absolute Gallery. Old Town was beaming with life as people enjoyed a warm summer night under the mellow glow of streetlights. It's all part of Arts Night Out getting back into the swing of things after an extended hiatus due to the coronavirus pandemic. 

Arts Night Out is put together bi-monthly by the Arts Council of Greater Lansing. The recurring event typically happens in Old Town, but has also taken place in several other historic Lansing shopping districts. Each participating neighborhood shop hosts a special sale, exhibit, arts and craft demonstration or live performance. Friday in Old Town featured all sorts of cool stuff to check out at Metro Retro, Bad Annie’s, Great Lakes Arts & Gifts, MICA Gallery, Preuss Pets, Odd Nodd Art Supply, UrbanBeat and several more.

Information including a list of venues, artist info and helpful maps are available for each Arts Night Out event at myartsnightout.com. Arts Night Out will return to Old Town on Sept. 10.
