Backstage Pass
Because around here, creativity isn’t a side note. It’s the headliner.
Backstage Pass is our yearlong spotlight on the people and organizations shaping the creative pulse of the Ann Arbor area.
Throughout 2026, we’ll step inside a studio, venue, rehearsal hall, workshop, or workspace to meet the folks turning bold ideas into unforgettable experiences.
