The Calumet Art Center is wonderfully vibrant treasure for many reasons, starting with the rich variety of inspiring community programs offered in so many areas of the arts to students of all ages. Beyond all of that, it is also a fantastic performing space with a newly expanded wooden stage in 2013, and a newly acquired grand piano. We can't wait to get back to Calumet to make music at the CAC!
