FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (June 27, 2022) Saugatuck, MI — Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency Announces Summer Benefit Concert Line-Up
SAUGATUCK, MICHIGAN (June 17, 2022) – Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists’ Residency is excited to share their first summer concert line-up featuring Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Joan Shelley, Bitchin Bajas perform ‘Switched on Ra’, Marisa Anderson, Damon Locks & Rob Mazurek, Rosali, Bill Mackay, and a Corbett vs. Dempsey DJ Set, on Saturday, July 9th from 2:00-9:00pm EST.
The event is family friendly, offering food, drink, and a screen-printing experience. VIP tickets are $175 (includes limited food and drink tickets, snacks and NA beverages, and special accessed areas), general admission tickets are $100, and minor tickets are $25. All proceeds go to support Ox-Bow.
The curated line-up by The Storehouse will take place on Ox-Bow’s campus along the shores of the Ox- Bow lagoon. The Storehouse, co-founded by duo Penny Duffy and Michael Slaboch in Galien, Michigan, is a Southwest Michigan-based events company. The organization primarily focuses on orchestrating casual, intimate gatherings.
” By fostering partnerships with other small operations in our region, we can create our own alternate reality that has very little in common with the broader corporate sphere that dominates other parts of the country. It’s very empowering and enlightening to be a part of this communal process,” Michael says.
Tickets are available to the general public for purchase at www.ox-bow.org/benefit-concert.
Founded in 1910, Ox-Bow School of Art & Artists’ Residency is an arts-based nonprofit with a rich legacy of empowering and investing in artists. Their year around programming welcomes degree-seeking students, professional artists, and those new to the arts. The 115-acre campus – located alongside and protected by the dunes, forests, and waters of Saugatuck – cultivates a space that does not simply host its residents but enhances their practice. Both its facilities and faculty edify their longstanding mission: to serve as a network of creative resources, people, and ideas amidst an energizing natural environment inspired by its rich artistic history and fueled by the potential of a vital future
