October is Global Diversity Month

This month, around the globe, people are celebrating their differences and we are too, right here in Midland County.

During Global Diversity Month, the Midland Area Community Foundation invites you to come out to take part in a variety of different events designed to introduce you to new cultures and experiences.

Join the community wide scavenger hunt that helps you discover some fun and interesting art throughout the county. You’ll be introduced to a variety of pieces that you can see in person and take a selfie with. Share your photos to earn points and maybe even win a prize! Visit the Public Arts Midland Facebook page to post photos and get more details.

Visit the Midland Center for the Arts on Wednesday, Oct. 23 to check out the performance by Alex Cuba, a Cuban-Canadian singer-songwriter. Alex, a Grammy award winning musician performs his sweet soul music in both English and Spanish. His show is one you won’t want to miss!

And lastly, join your friends and neighbors at the Grace A. Dow Memorial Library on Oct. 24 to celebrate and view the art that was accepted into the Global Diversity Creativity Contest sponsored by Midland Area Cultural Awareness Coalition and Public Arts Midland. The Mezzanine level at the library will be hosting an artist reception from 6 to 8 p.m. View the art and meet the artists!

Whether you’re discovering interesting art or fascinating sounds, take the time to engage, connect and appreciate the diversity around us. Join in the fun this month around the county to help build a more inclusive Midland.
