Description
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Thursday, December 4th, 2025.
If you're looking to get into the holiday spirit today, Traverse City is absolutely packed with events that'll get you in the mood for shopping and celebrating. Whether you're an art lover, a gift hunter, or just someone who enjoys seasonal refreshments, there's something happening right now that's perfect for you.
Let's start with the art scene. At Art on Union Gallery in downtown Traverse City, Winter and the Blues opens at eleven this morning. This is a beautiful exhibition featuring local artwork that captures the calm, light, and quiet of winter here in northern Michigan. The best part? They're serving seasonal sips and sweets while you browse, so you can warm up while taking in some truly inspiring work.
If you're more in the mood for holiday shopping, the Merry Marketplace 2025 Holiday Art Market kicks off at ten o'clock at Crooked Tree Arts Center's Cornwell Gallery. This is your chance to shop hundreds of unique handmade gifts and works of art, all from talented local artists. It's the perfect place to find one-of-a-kind presents that you won't find anywhere else.
For something a little different, head over to the 2025 Small Works Holiday Exhibition at Glen Arbor Arts Center at nine in the morning. This annual showcase features an incredible mix of two-dimensional and three-dimensional work that's perfect for gift giving. You'll find knits, jewelry, pottery, ceramics, notecards, prints, ornaments, and more.
Art enthusiasts should also check out the Guild Pop-Up Exhibit featuring Marilyn Rebant's Eclectic Vision at Crooked Tree Arts Center's Libragallery starting at eleven. Rebant's work celebrates the beauty of inspiration in motion, with pieces that capture shifting moods across different subjects and mediums.
Over at the Dennos Museum Center on the Northern Michigan College campus, Ice Into Ocean Arctic Tracings opens at eleven as well. This fascinating exhibition is the result of a seven-year collaboration exploring how ice shifts and reshapes Arctic landscapes through large-scale drawings, images, and installations. There's a small admission fee of zero to ten dollars.
If you're interested in something more literary, don't miss the Author Talk with Ann Goethels at two o'clock at Suttons Bay Bingham District Library. It's a great way to connect with a local writer.
With all these opportunities to explore art, shop for unique gifts, and enjoy the holiday season, today is really the day to get out and experience what makes Traverse City special this time of year.
This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
