"Get your music heard!"

The Ark is pleased to announce our continuing partnership with the University of Michigan Museum of Art. This winter, “The Ark at UMMA” will again invite student songwriters at the University of Michigan to submit their original music demo in order to compete for a live performance showcase at UMMA and a chance to perform at The Ark.

A vital part of The Ark’s mission to present folk, roots, and ethnic music to the Ann Arbor community, is our commitment to discovering and developing new and emerging artists. This student songwriter series is designed to create opportunities for students in the U of M community to have their music heard, learn about promoting their music, and experience important aspects of the music business first hand.

The Ark at UMMA Student Songwriter Series will feature two performance showcases on Friday, February 12 at 8 p.m. and Friday, March 12 at 8 p.m. These showcases will feature the best of the student songwriters selected by the Ark staff from the contest submissions.

The Final performance on Friday, March 26 from 8 to 10 p.m. will feature all the performers from the February and March showcases performing in-the-round and will culminate in the announcement of the winner of the series. The winning singer-songwriter will booked for an opening performance at The Ark.
