ST. JOSEPH, Mich. – Southwest Michigan residents and visitors now have a new way to explore the local arts and culture scene: through Southwestern Michigan Tourist Council’s new interactive game, Creative Connections!

Now through April 30, 2022, you can pick up a Creative Connections brochure online or at any of the Creative Connections locations and play along by collecting stamps at each of the destinations included in the brochure.

Each participating business will have a door decal or flag signifying their role in the game.

Players can start earning prizes after three Creative Connections stops. After you collect the stamps, return your brochure to the Tourist Council and they’ll mail you back your prizes and brochure so you can keep playing.
