The three parts that make up this ingenuitive plan include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Education &#8211; Classrooms and classes offered in art fields offered by Kirtland Community College to help educate the community and surrounding communities<\/li>\n<li>Gallery &#8211; To display the many wonderful artisans located throughout the Grayling area and other surrounding areas<\/li>\n<li>City Beautification &#8211; To help restore our storefronts and create a theme that will make the City of Grayling stand out and be a more beautiful place to be vacation and live.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Grayling already offers a number of opportunities for visitors and residents to enjoy. The natural beauty alone draws thousands of tourists to Grayling every year. The AuSable River, Hartwick Pines State Park, and events put on throughout the area celebrating the outdoors offer ways to experience the beauty of nature all year long.<\/p>\n<p>The AuSable Artisan Village will bring the community together, offering a new source of revenue, increased number of visitors and a way for the talented artisans of the area to show what they have to offer. There are a huge number of incredibly talented people who call Northern Michigan home.\u00a0 The AuSable Artisan Village seeks to showcase that talent.<\/p>\n<p>There is one way in which this new and exciting project will succeed, community involvement.\u00a0 There are many ways that people can get involved. First you can learn more about it. There are many meetings which serve as a way for those interested to be informed. The new website will also be available soon for those interested in updates. If you have talents, skills or a desire to help in any way, there will always be a place to help out. Though donations are welcome, you don&#8217;t have to have a donation to be a part of this great new project.<\/p>\n<p>Get involved in the AuSable Artisan Village, it&#8217;s a great way to enjoy all that Grayling has to offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The AuSable Artisan Village  is coming to town.
