Macon Creek

We had so much fun today at Macon Creek during our Composers & Creators Workshop - making sounds, making art, and discovering what happens when the two meet.

And we’re not done yet!

Join us tomorrow at 2:00 PM for The Myriad Project concert, where we’ll continue exploring the intersection of sound and visual art - and all the unexpected places that connection can take us.

Come curious. Come listen. Come see. We’d love to have you with us at Macon Creek.

We still have a place for you today at 2:00!

TODAY at 2 pm Creek! Rising young artists redefine what’s possible through creative collaboration, reimagining how music and art unfold in fresh, inspiring ways. We’re delighted to share their innovative work with you! Come to create. Come to listen. Come to witness art and music come alive together!

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE STOP JUST WATCHING ART - AND START MAKING IT?

August 15 & 16 at Macon Creek, we’re spending a weekend finding out.

Come to one. Come to both. Come curious.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 15 • 2 PM
Composers & Creators Workshop
Make a sound. Make your mark. Come make some noise. Pick up a paintbrush. Bring an instrument if you play one - or simply bring your curiosity.

Composer-violinist Daniel Fecteau, composer-educator Mattie Levy, and visual artists Lucy Bugala and Luke Gleason will lead a joyful, hands-on afternoon where music and visual art meet.
We’ll listen. Make sounds. Paint together. Experiment. See what happens.

No experience necessary. No need to be “an artist.” Just wear something that can survive a little paint.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 16 • 2 PM
The Myriad Project + Chris “Chilly” Rodriguez Electroacoustic Soundscapes: Music & Art Reimagined
Then come watch creativity happen in real time.
Oboe. Bassoon. Electric violin. Loop station. Live painting.
Expect classical influences, improvisation, surprising sounds, familiar video game music—and three musicians who may occasionally sound like eight. Meanwhile, artist Chilly Rodriguez will create a mural as the music unfolds.

The music changes the painting. The painting changes the room. And nobody knows exactly where it will end.

Two afternoons. Music. Paint. Experimentation. Play.
Bring your kids. Bring your parents. Bring your instrument. Bring the person who insists they aren’t creative. We may have some evidence to the contrary by Sunday afternoon.

Macon Creek : 8759 Clinton Macon Rd., Clinton, MI 49236

Come to one or both. Come curious.

What a beautiful afternoon!

Heartfelt thanks to Amy I-Lin Cheng, Alexander Burrow, and Beacon Art Michigan for an exquisite chamber music experience at the Gallery @ Macon Creek.

From Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Debussy, and Ravel to Alexander Burrow and even Michael Jackson, the program was a joyful and beautifully curated musical journey. What could be more perfect?

A special thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make the afternoon so memorable. Your presence and support of artistry and artists mean so much.

If you couldn't be with us this time, we hope you'll join us for one of the many wonderful events still to come. There's so much more in the works, and we can't wait to welcome you to Macon Creek

Creative ventures take time, energy, and grit. Mike Ambs just spent two days at Macon Creek filming "It Means the World to Me", an 8-minute thriller about AI companions, teenage loneliness, and the friend designed to always be there for you. Over the past month, he's built an entire set inside The Hive. Filming wrapped today. We're so proud to make space for artists like Mike.
