The West End Community Arts Network was formed to promote the arts to the communities of western Marquette County; to enrich the lives of the area's residents through art displays, musical concerts, plays, and arts education through community involvement; and to promote these communities and their creative people to the rest of the Upper Peninsula.
WeCan is holding its second annual public meeting on Monday, September 24, at 7:00 in the Historic Butler Theater on Ishpeming’s Main Street.
WeCan needs your ideas and your help! WeCan wants to provide the west end communities with the quality arts programs they lack. Assistance can take the form of a financial contribution, volunteer work, and membership commitment. We’ll be filling open board positions. If you love the arts and want to help share your passion with the western Marquette County, please join us

West Ender Brandon Nelson composed this music, inspired in part by West Ender John French's visual art.

I invite you all to join me at the Calumet Art Center on August 3rd at 7:30pm to hear the premier of my chamber work "Dusk Refrains Over Quincy Mine." Commissioned by accomplished performer Alexandra M. Signor, the piece is a trumpet solo accompanied by a sextet consisting of flute, clarinet, violin, viola, cello, and piano. The piece, inspired in part by a painting by local artist John French, is a colorful and evocative musical exploration of this unique site in Michigan's Copper Country. I hope you can be there to hear it!
