On Saturday November 9, 2024, GLC Live at 20 Monroe (formerly 20 Monroe Live) will be activated by “Exhibit A”—an ambitiously creative fashion show and dance party featuring Grand Rapids shops, designers and musicians. 

Exhibit A is the brainchild of AB, an award-winning DJ, designer, musician and event producer. Over the last decade-plus, AB has worked with almost everyone in the event space—GRAM, ArtPrize, The Pyramid Scheme, DGRI, JW Marriott and more. He’s even serving as the Grand Rapids Griffins Official Game DJ!

In Grand Rapids, it’s like six degrees of separation with AB at this point, and we love that!

Having Grand Rapids roots himself, it’s always been important for AB to bring the community together. Exhibit A offers the chance not only to flex in one’s finest fits and dance all night, but also to enjoy the community of cool creatives that make Grand Rapids special.

Exhibit A is like the Olympics of the Grand Rapids fashion world,” AB shared. “There are eight shops and boutiques participating, and they all have a slightly different client base. It’s going to be fun to mix it up and curate the fashion show while mixing in different DJs, as well—I can’t wait.

“GLC Live is the perfect venue for an event like this because not only does it allow us to have world-class sound, lighting and video, but the runway options are amazing! The sound and views will be awesome for all guests!”

When it comes to music, the legendary SuperDre, AB, The Seventh and more will be spinning a soundtrack that activates the dance floor all night!
 
Whether it’s a date night, girls’ night out or the last time your crew can connect before the holidays, Exhibit A is where you want to be on Saturday, November 9. Tickets are just $30 and available at The GLC Live at 20 Monroe Box Office or through EverythingAB.com.

/Your%20Child%20Has%20Come%20Out—Now%20What?%20Showing%20Support%20and%20Offering%20Unconditional%20Love
It's critical to offer understanding, support and unconditional love to your child if they choose to come out to you. That experience for Ollie Robison (xe/he/they), Healthcare Coordinator, Grand Rapids Pride Center, was a long and complex one, coming out multiple times in different ways to the same people.
/Building%20Your%20Spring%20and%20Summer%20Capsule%20Wardrobe
Winter is behind us and we're ready to ditch the bulky sweaters, heavy boots and puffy coats for lighter, brighter and fresher styles. Rather than mindlessly buying up a hoard of trendy items, Kathryn Snow of Style Me Ada—an expert personal stylist and shopper—walks us through building a capsule wardrobe that will keep you feeling confident and stylish all spring and summer.
/Healing%20From%20Childhood%20Trauma:%20You%20Can%20Rewrite%20Your%20Story
Your childhood may be long past, but its influence is reflected in your present—it shapes how you see the world and how you interact with others. Maybe you've noticed patterns you can't quite shake, like anxiety that won't settle. Or maybe you struggle with depth in relationships or find yourself overwhelmed because of your tendency to overachieve (or overextend).
/Michigan%20Outdoors—The%20Long%20and%20Short%20of%20It!
Living in West Michigan, we have an abundance of places to go to soak up the great outdoors. In every season, travelers head to their favorite hot spots in the lakeshore quadfecta of Muskegon, Grand Haven, Holland and Saugatuck—or stick around Grand Rapids for all it has to offer. While we never tire of spotlighting the standbys, what else is there? Let's take a tour!
