About the Exhibit
In Northern Michigan, winter is more than just a season; it's a time of both beauty and challenges. The shiny, snow-covered landscapes are home to happy snowball fights and fun sledding adventures, but also to tough cold weather that can sometimes make life difficult.
The Winter Wonderland Exhibition aims to showcase all the different sides of a Northern Michigan winter through various art forms. It brings together the happy moments and the tough ones, offering a complete picture of what winter is like in this region.
