At FIM, we love opportunities to recognize a sparkle and give it a space to shine! Inspired by the annual Seeing Stars! Benefit through the Flint School of Performing Arts, Summer Stars creates an opportunity to encourage young talent in Flint and surrounding communities by providing a performance space and professional experience for student performers.

During the summer months, young people take the outdoor stage at On the Bricks (formerly Xolo) in Downtown Flint to showcase their budding—and impressive—talent. Selection for this program is not just restricted to the Flint School of Performing Arts, but open to all area youth (age 18 and under) with a passion for performance.

As part of our Music Around Town programming, Summer Stars aims to contribute to the revitalization of beautiful downtown Flint while fostering an enthusiasm for performing arts in area youth. The series is generously funded by the CS Mott Foundation and the Genesee County Arts, Education and Cultural Enrichment Millage.

Do you know a young person who might be a good fit for this program? Let us know! Please send an email with “summer stars” in the subject line to: info@thefim.org
