The [Ann Arbor Sports Commission](https://www.annarbor.org/sports-commission/ "Ann Arbor Sports Commission") works diligently to improve the quality of life through sports for all of Washtenaw County. The [Ann Arbor area](https://www.annarbor.org/ "Ann Arbor area") attracts both sports enthusiasts and participants alike. Thanks to its [easy accessibility](https://www.annarbor.org/plan/getting-here-getting-around/ "easy accessibility"), [wide range of facilities](https://www.annarbor.org/sports-commission/facilities-venues/ "wide range of facilities") available and variety of [dining](https://www.annarbor.org/foodanddrink/ "dining") & [entertainment](https://www.annarbor.org/things-to-do/ "entertainment") options, the Ann Arbor area is a favorite of sporting event organizations. The area has a rich sporting culture seeding in the history of two Division 1 athletic programs ([University of Michigan](https://www.annarbor.org/university-of-michigan/ "University of Michigan") and Eastern Michigan University) and several other small institutions. The Ann Arbor Sports was formed to attract amateur sporting events to the Ann Arbor region by assisting organizers every step of the way.

Ann Arbor is a dynamic mix of energy and charm—a bustling university town, a [foodie’s paradise](https://www.annarbor.org/foodanddrink/ "foodie's paradise"), and a cutting-edge tech hub, all wrapped in a [walkable downtown](https://www.annarbor.org/things-to-do/downtown/ "walkable downtown") bursting with [world-class arts and culture](https://www.annarbor.org/things-to-do/arts-culture/ "world-class arts and culture"). Located in Michigan’s southeast Lower Peninsula, Ann Arbor is the heartbeat of a vibrant network of [communities across Washtenaw County](https://www.annarbor.org/surrounding-destinations/ "communities across Washtenaw County"). With its creative spirit, diverse flavors, and unique neighborhoods, Ann Arbor shines as a exciting oasis.

After an eight-month renovation, UMMA’s Alumni Memorial Hall reopens this fall with newly restored marble floors and a renewed sense of possibility. To celebrate, they’re filling October and November with exhibitions, tours, films, conversations, and special events—plenty of reasons to stop by and see what they’ve done with the place.

Join on Saturday, Oct 10 for a special Reopening Celebration to rediscover this landmark space and experience an exciting lineup of exhibitions, art activities, and conversation. Learn about UMMA’s architecture and recent construction process on a guided tour. Throughout the building, explore new exhibitions, including Rick Lowe’s *Black Wall Street Journey: Re and De Imagining Black Progress* and Holly Bass’s *We Hold These Truths.*

Hear directly from Rick Lowe during an afternoon panel discussion. Check out *Art at Home* with artists and curators to see works from the University of Michigan’s Art Lending Collection, a beloved program that brings original artwork into the living spaces of U-M students. New, exclusive UMMA swag available while supplies last!

Free and open to the public.
