A New Season for Paint Grand Traverse

Paint Grand Traverse, Crooked Tree Arts Center’s popular plein air painting competition that draws artists from across the country, is making a shift from June to September for 2027. This isn’t the first time the festival has changed; when it was originally started in 2018, PGT was held in August for its first five years. Organizers say a “later-season schedule offers artists a fresh perspective on Northern Michigan’s landscapes and creates new opportunities for the festival to grow.” Save the date for Sept. 19–26, 2027. But most importantly, this means that applications to join the 2027 event are now open for painters near and far! Find more application information, eligibility details, and updates at crookedtree.org/events-and-exhibitions/events/paint-grand-traverse.

‘Song of Hiawatha’: Film chronicles a Michigan counterculture maverick

If you’ve spent enough time around rock ‘n’ roll in southeastern Michigan, there’s a colorful figure you’ve invariably encountered at some point: Hiawatha Bailey. Bailey, 78, is one of the Motor City’s true originals, a gay Black man who’s been in the thick of the region’s counterculture from the ‘60s onward, entrenched in hippie radicalism and the later punk movement. Now, after years in the works, a documentary exploring his uncommon life has arrived: “The Song of Hiawatha: The Life and High Times of the First Black Hippie,” will make its local bow Friday (Nov. 6) at the Detroit Institute of Arts’ Detroit Film Theatre, three months after its world premiere in Austin. The evening promises to be “a real rock ‘n’ roll experience,” as organizers describe it, with a performance by the seminal Detroit punk band Cinecyde and an afterparty at the Old Miami in the Cass Corridor. Along with a gritty, high-octane Detroit rock soundtrack, the 1½-hour film features an array of high-profile Michigan artists and activists whose lives intersected with Bailey’s through the decades, including Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Wayne Kramer, John Sinclair, Niagara Detroit and Pun Plamondon. The freewheeling doc is a passion project of New
