Artful Winter in Traverse City: Holiday Markets, Arctic Art, and Cozy Wine Tastings
Published 4 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Traverse City Local Frequency for Wednesday, December 10.
As the sun comes up over the bay, Traverse City is easing into a very artful, very wintry day. If you are looking to get a head start on holiday gifting, the Merry Marketplace Holiday Art Market at Crooked Tree Arts Center opens at 10 this morning, with hundreds of handmade pieces from artists around the state, a chance to keep your shopping dollars local and discover new Michigan makers in one stop.
Over on the NMC campus, the Dennos Museum is a hub of creativity today. Beginning late morning, you can wander through Dewey Blocksma’s Roundtable, a whimsical, slightly surreal world of puzzle heads, violin women, fake computers, and porcupines, a reminder that serious art can still have a sense of play. Just down the hall, Ice Into Ocean: Arctic Tracings turns the gallery into a high-latitude landscape, using large scale drawings and installations to trace how ice and water reshape the Arctic over time, connecting our shoreline on Grand Traverse Bay to distant polar coasts.
If you prefer your winter calm and cozy, the Art on Union Gallery’s Winter and the Blues exhibit opens at 11. You can sip something warm and sweet while taking in artwork that leans into the quiet light and stillness of northern Michigan winters, a nice reset in the middle of a busy week.
Later today, Bonobo Winery on Old Mission is kicking off its Very Merry Holiday Pop-Up, transforming the tasting room into a twinkling, elf-approved holiday haven. Timed, seated experiences pair festive décor with themed wine and cocktail flights, family friendly mocktails, and bite-size “reindeer treats,” offering a new twist on the classic winter winery visit.
On the civic side, all eyes are on Cherry Capital Airport, where the airport authority’s zoning board meets late this morning to hear a proposal for a new five-story hotel on airport property. The project is pitched as a way to give airline crews and stranded travelers a place to land close to the terminal and could reshape the feel of the South Airport corridor in the next few years if it moves forward.
As evening winds down, you can roll out your mat at Original Hot Yoga TC for a free community yoga class at 7:30, an easy, low cost way to warm up, stretch out, and meet neighbors before calling it a night.
This has been Traverse City Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
