The carnival, tents, and mega stages may be gone, but crowds still turned up to enjoy art and music on Thursday night in downtown Royal Oak.
On the heels of Arts Beats & Eats, people came to downtown Royal Oak last night to revel in culture - art, music, film and a stage play. At Noir Leather, dozens of people stopped to watch and listen to music acts Michael Mars and Barbeque play on the sidewalk under Selene and Endymion by Nicolas Poussin – one of six works of art on display this summer, throughout the city, as part of Detroit Institute of Arts (DIA) Inside|Out. “We have been talking at our Royal Oak Commission for the Arts meetings about having music and performances in conjunction with the DIA paintings,” said Noir Leather owner Keith Howarth. “Royal Oak is proud to be displaying these pieces and Noir Leather is doing its part in helping draw attention to the paintings.” …

The Mitten Movie Project's most popular night of the year showcases the work of local filmmakers.
When Curator Connie Mangilin took over the Mitten Movie Project in November of 2007, her task was to organize the first ever Zombie Night. Over the next several years she’s witnessed the annual event grow in popularity. The Mitten Movie Project showcases the work of local filmmakers every month at the Royal Oak Main Art Theatre. The monthly festival averages approximately 100 attendees. For Zombie Night, attendance doubles and Mangilin is forced to host the event in one of the theatre’s larger auditoriums. This year’s event is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, Nov. 8 and Mangilin has hand-picked the dozen or so shorts to be featured. “I look for production quality. It’s got to be shot solidly. That means good sound, lighting, and …

One of the key grunge bands of the '90s is the subject of a documentary that will only be shown in only 64 theaters.
The Main Art Theatre in Royal Oak is one of just two Michigan theaters that will show the anticipated documentary Pearl Jam Twenty on Tuesday, which will screen in select theaters across the country for one night only. Pearl Jam Twenty chronicles the years leading up to the formation of one of the key rock bands of the grunge movement in the early 1990s. According to the film's official website: The chaos that ensued soon after their rise to megastardom, their step back from center stage, and the creation of a trusted circle that would surround them — giving way to a work culture that would sustain them. Told in big themes and bold colors with blistering sound, the film is carved from over 1,200 hours of rarely-seen and never-before seen …
