Madrigal Chorale invites artists working in all media to showcase their work in conjunction with our Spring Concert on Saturday, May 9, 2026, at Orchard Lake Community Church.

The exhibit will be curated by members of the Chorale, who are seeking art with a fresh and unique perspective, with excellence as the common thread. Madrigal Chorale events draw a metro-Detroit audience representing a broad spectrum of knowledge and appreciation of the arts. 30% of all proceeds from the sale of the artwork will benefit Madrigal Chorale.

Our collaboration between the visual and performing arts has been a great success with our audiences! A good percentage of the work displayed has been purchased. We will again offer a wide range of mediums and styles.

Exhibition Location: Orchard Lake Community Church, 5171 Commerce Rd., Orchard Lake, MI 48324
