Here, audiences enjoyed talent shows, vaudeville (burlesque, comedy, song, dance), silent movies, and athletic contests. Between 1928 and 1984, the Stephens and Mapes families used the building as a furniture store. The Mapes family donated the building and property to the Grand Ledge Historical Society. After careful restoration supported by public and private funding, the Opera House was reborn in 1993. Soon after, the Michigan Theater in Lansing donated their Barton Pipe Organ to add another unique offering to the Opera House. Today the Opera House provides a distinctive setting for weddings, concerts, and events of all kinds held either inside the historic building or outside on The Commons, a beautifully manicured lawn overlooking the Grand River.","imgThumb":["http:\/\/517artsearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/grand-ledge-opera-house-50b115a61d45e028a8000276-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"imgLarge":["http:\/\/517artsearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/grand-ledge-opera-house-50b115a61d45e028a8000276-e1454518361666.jpg",500,304,false],"latitude":"42.753927","longitude":"-84.744867","neighborhood":"Grand Ledge","distance":null},{"id":149,"name":"Bloom","link":"http:\/\/517artsearch.com\/bloom\/","category":"Art","artistName":"Blake Williams","location":"Spartan Stadium, Third Floor Lobby","description":"

Created through a joint collaboration by REACH Studio Art Center and Impression 5 (as well as with support from many other organizations, including the Arts Council of Greater Lansing), this large sculpture became a model for inspiring a sense of place and the idea\u00a0of making your community a better place.\r\n\r\nGuest artist, Dan Nunez, helped design the concept, which was to celebrate \"backyard science\" with a visual representation of the classic bottle rocket experiment, with a whimsical take. He used volunteers from Impression 5, as well as teen students from REACH, to contribute to the project, mainly in the\u00a0construction of some of the heavy metal design as well as painting the exterior fun and bright colors.\r\n\r\nNunez hopes that this art piece installed at Impression 5 will help community members of all ages see that science and art in education are not mutually exclusive and transition our collective thinking from such notions of the importance of\u00a0STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education to a more collaborative\u00a0STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics) education.\r\n\r\nHe also hopes that the process of creating this sculpture - from planning to community input to design to execution - will teach the many teens who took part in the project what it means to create change in your community and present your ideas to be heard.\r\n\r\n(Source: REACH Studio Art Center)","imgThumb":["http:\/\/517artsearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/11902593_10153561595833980_8218180457198956073_n2-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"imgLarge":["http:\/\/517artsearch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/11902593_10153561595833980_8218180457198956073_n2.jpg",959,570,false],"latitude":"42.732272","longitude":"-84.548149","neighborhood":"Downtown Lansing","distance":null},{"id":30,"name":"BP-87","link":"http:\/\/517artsearch.com\/bp-87\/","category":"Art","artistName":"Caspar Henselmann","location":"Biomedical and Physical Sciences Building","description":"

Installed in 2006, this piece was originally conceived for a show at Chicago\u2019s Navy Pier. At the time, artist Caspar Henselmann was preoccupied with tectonic plate movement. The concept behind the piece is embedded in the physical reality that we are sitting on a thin floating surface on a small sphere on an elliptical trajectory within our solar system. This sculpture was donated to MSU by the artist. It is made of painted steel and coated Styrofoam. It measures 156 inches by 84 inches.<\/p>\r\n
