Students across Ypsilanti Community Schools are learning local history in a hands-on way by turning it into art. A new project called "Ypsilanti Future History" invites students to explore the people, places, and events that shape their city and to imagine what its future might look like. The program is led by Ypsilanti artist and educator Nick Azzaro. He spoke about what he hopes the project will achieve with Lee Van Roth.

The Riverside Arts Center has revitalized its Artist-in-Residency program this year. The two artists serving in that capacity are about to mark the halfway point of their residency, and you’ll hear from one of them! Nick Azzaro sat down with Rylee Barnsdale to discuss the program, his art, education and what is still to come through the rest of the residency.
