Delta College Planetarium and Learning Center The Delta College Planetarium in downtown Bay City features an award-winning production about asteroids, comets, and the hard-hitting stories of our cosmic origins. Narrated by George Takei, “Incoming!” explores the past, present, and future of our Solar System and the landmark discoveries scientists have made sending spacecraft to visit tiny worlds. Along the way, audiences will discover what impacts from above can teach us—and how scientific advances may allow us to find and track cosmic threats before they reach planet Earth. Cutting-edge visualizations will bring real-time data from current NASA missions to life while taking audiences on an immersive journey into the hidden secrets of the smaller bodies of the solar system. Visit delta.edu/planet for show times!
Bay City Players EARLY NIGHTS. LOW TEMPS. ICE AND SNOW. Forget ‘em. Think of belly laughs, great music, and stories to touch the mind and heart. That’s the rest of Season 101 with Bay City Players. AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY puts three daughters back with their mother—where they don’t belong. Fascinating story with dramatic women. LEND ME A TENOR puts the wrong women in the wrong hotel rooms, the wrong man singing opera, and the right combo of people, situations, and dialogue to make you laugh all evening. MAN OF LA MANCHA puts us into one of America’s great musicals: soaring songs, great story within a story—truth, honor, glory and “The Impossible Dream.” There, take that winter!!

Newsletter January-April, 2019 Bay Cit y Ar ts & Culture Non-profit organizations promoting local arts & culture.
Studio 23 Transformation Studio 23/The Arts Center plans to improve its facility, image, and capacity in order to remain the high-quality organization our community has come to expect. Outcomes will include superior exhibit space for the community and artists, expanded and upgraded art education areas, and the availability of a gathering destination for the community. This project will take place from January 2019 until April 2019. We will be operating classes inside the Bay County Historical Society during the winter months. Renovations and resulting outcomes include: Reducing the administrative office space on the second level, which will double our clay classroom/kiln space. Our current clay classes are at capacity. More room will allow more students to learn and express their creativity through pottery. Reconfiguration of the main floor will result in a more desirable gallery floor plan and a main-floor classroom with built-in storage and supply area. Updated and energy-efficient lighting will allow more control over lighting of exhibits, allowing us to highlight the art attractively while saving utility costs. Installation of a noise absorption system will improve the experience for patrons, students, and artists by reducing the noise and echoes that come with open spaces. Replacing first-level flooring with polished concrete, which is long-lasting and low-maintenance. An improved sound system will make the gallery a more desirable event destination. Additional security cameras for the safety of students, teachers, patrons, and artwork. We look forward to seeing you when we reopen in April of 2019. Please stay up to date by visiting our website and social media accounts.
Bay Concert Band On Sunday, March 10, 2019 the Bay Concert Band will perform its seventh From Stage and Screen series concert at Bay City Central HS auditorium starting at 3 pm. This concert titled “Musical Americana” features popular American music from, Sousa to Dixieland and West Side Story to Louis Armstrong. Doors open at 2:30 and admission is $5 with students sixth grade and under admitted free.
