Experience world-class cultural performances and events in Northern Michigan!
We see the Great Lakes Center for the Arts as an entity that will provide year-round entertainment options for our residents, as well as opportunities for partnerships with our area schools and existing arts organizations.
Mr. Kaiser was President of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. from January 2001 through August 2014. During his tenure, he expanded educational and artistic programming for the United States’ center for the performing arts, oversaw a major renovation effort of the Center’s theaters, and led the nation in arts management training. In 2001, Mr. Kaiser created the Kennedy Center Arts Management Institute, renamed the DeVos Institute of Arts Management in May 2010. In honor of his accomplishments, the Board of the Kennedy Center named him President Emeritus in 2014.
The Center’s announcement of the 2018 Premiere Summer Season on July 17, 2017 also launched the pre-sale of event subscriptions for the family of donors who have supported the Center with gifts of $5,000 or more, including through Seat Campaign and Founding Circle gifts.
“We are so excited to share the first summer season programming. Our inaugural season stays true to the Center’s mission to present a variety of performing arts, with accessible ticket pricing, in a state-of-the-art theater right here in Northern Michigan,” said Jill O’Neill, the Center’s Executive Director. “Our donors have brought this vision to reality and we are delighted to offer the 2018 Premiere Summer Season subscription opportunities initially to this group. We will be welcoming the general public to subscribe beginning Sept. 1, 2017.”
