Fine, hand-crafted jewelry; sculptures in metal, wood, and clay; fiber arts; and watercolors stand out most for me. Kim Bazemore, the owner of Cog's Creek, is an open and welcoming personality. She has a clear respect and love of the arts evident in its presentation and depth. I love going into the space because it feels good and gives me a chance to really look and appreciate the work, which I very much do!

Customer service was excellent. They wrapped the piece I bought so that I could easily take it on a plane and talked me out of shipping it. They were right - had no problem taking it on board and by nightfall it was hanging in my kitchen window. Will return next time I'm in the area.

I have been to a few of the events: one was the Central Neighborhood front porch concerts and treats- it was fun. The other event was as a volunteer (full disclosure) for their plein air paint out as part of Paint Grand Traverse. Oh, I think everyone should volunteer for this, but that's my love of the arts speaking. As more of a dreamer than a do-er, I'm pretty much in awe of those who *do.* Lastly, this evening I was here for the TC Ticker's 'Recess' event. I'd consider going to another of their events, the venues rotate. There were beverage tickets (imbibe if you don't have to work later, as I did) and yummy treats from Maxbauer's and Raduno. I guess I networked, but I consider it more a polishing/fine-tuning of extremely rusty social skills. I am a busy and introverted human, therefore I don't get out much, lol. But, when I do get out, it's because I have high expectations. And, this venue and event both proved themselves to be enjoyable.

The Sweet Water Warblers: super group consisting of May Erlewine, Rachel Davis and Lindsay Lou. Two of the ladies now live in Nashville. Ambiance- light and sound were good. Poor Lindsay's guitar battery died mid song, but there were others she was able to borrow for the remainder of the show. I sat in the back, far left. I couldn't see the violinist who joined for two numbers, and couldn't see May when she played the piano. But, I could hear it all excellently. Def stop by and see a show or check their schedule to see what acts are coming soon.
