More About TBAC...

The TBAC Office and Gallery provides a home for the Thunder Bay Arts Council and its programs of visual and performing arts in the community of Northeast Michigan. We hope that this website will serve as a convenient virtual link to the Council and Gallery and their activities and events. The Thunder Bay Arts Council has been in continuous service to the community of Alpena and Northeast Michigan for 41 years. This website and its information and links are one among many forms of promoting the arts, culture, history and humanities of Northeast Michigan.

Thunder Bay Arts Council hosts over twenty visual artists who display and sell their art work in the TBAC Gallery at 127 W. Chisholm Street. Artists exhibit their work on a rotating seasonal basis. TBAC also hosts a series of Artists In- Residence Exhibits and Receptions on a regular basis. The Gallery features a YouthCore Exhibit of local student artists from Alpena schools. We often provide student workshops in area schools and display student art work at all of our performing arts events. Students are always provided free access to all TBAC events. Exhibits, artists and schools rotate routinely. See our Upcoming Events link for featured artists and receptions at the TBAC Gallery.

Every July, the Thunder Bay Arts Council hosts Art on the Bay at Bay View Park on the shores of Lake Huron in downtown Alpena during the annual Brown Trout Festival. Over 100 fine artists and crafters exhibit and sell their work at one of Northeast Michigan's premier fine arts and crafts fairs. Art on the Bay is scheduled for July 20-21, 2013. We hope to see you there!

Thunder Bay Arts Council hosts a series of performing arts events throughout the year, including an annual Showcase Series, Community Chorus concerts, Alpena Symphony, Guitar Summit, Community Showcase, and a series of Winter Chamber Ensembles @ the Gallery. See the Upcoming Events link for this season's schedule of events.

Thunder Bay Arts Council provides leadership and support as a founding member of the collaborative efforts of Michigan Arts and Culture Northeast (MACNE) - ARTown, Michigan. To learn more about MACNE and the various other events and activities of Thunder Bay Arts Council, please access the "Links to the Arts" link provided in this site's directory.

The Thunder Bay Arts Council operates on the premise that the arts, and promotion of the arts, make a lasting difference in a community. It is our hope that you will take advantage of all that we have to offer and consider contributing your time, talents and resources towards the cause of promoting the arts either by attending our events or becoming more directly involved with your talents and/or your charitable contributions.

Many of our events are free, and all of our events are open to the public. We offer TBArts Passes (season tickets) on a seasonal basis and Door Passes for individual events. See details under the "Tickets & Giving" link.
