Get creative and showcase your art to the community!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

The Stamelos Gallery Center is proud to share the inaugural MWCS Signature Exhibition, guest curated by Rocco Pisto, with the campus and greater community. Forty-two exceptional artists have qualified for their Signature status with MWCS by being juried into at least four annual exhibitions over the last ten to twelve years. Signature members that have also completed a three-year term on the board received a Great Lakes Fellow designation to honor their volunteer service. There are thirteen Great Lakes Fellows exhibiting.

These Signature Members come from all parts of the state. Their work varies from representational to abstract, and everything in between, as each artist shares their distinctive styles and techniques. The remarkable watercolors featured in this exhibition are a sound representation of MWCS membership and the extraordinary artistic talent here in Michigan.

This exhibition is free to the public and will be on view at the Stamelos Gallery Center from July 14th until September 24th.

CHICAGO is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one showstopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen.

In the whirlwind of Chicago’s Jazz Age, two of the Cook County Jail’s most notorious murderesses—vaudeville star Velma Kelly and chorus girl Roxie Hart—become fierce rivals as they compete for headlines amidst a media frenzy.

Broadway’s longest-running musical has been razzle dazzling audiences for 27 years, and after more than 10,000 performances, 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, and a Grammy, we’re just getting started.

Come on, babe! Head to CHICAGO! We’re hotter than ever.
