What an unforgettable evening for Northern Michigan. Monarch was honored to be part of the Great Lakes Center for the Arts Gala, A Night in Noir, a celebration of artistry, elegance, and community.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Bay Harbor, the gala brought together supporters of the arts for a truly extraordinary night featuring an unforgettable concert with Katharine McPhee and legendary producer and composer David Foster. Their performance filled the evening with world-class music and reminded us all why the arts are such a vital part of our community.


A Beverly Hills–Inspired Experience
Guests were welcomed into an atmosphere inspired by the timeless glamour of the The Beverly Hills Hotel. The evening’s dinner captured the iconic California sophistication of the legendary hotel, blending classic luxury with modern style.
Monarch was proud to contribute floral design, linens, and décor that complemented the noir-inspired aesthetic. Rich textures, elegant blooms, and refined details helped create a setting that felt both dramatic and inviting — a perfect reflection of the evening’s theme.


Celebrating the Arts in Northern Michigan
Events like this are a beautiful reminder that the arts thrive when a community comes together. The Great Lakes Center for the Arts continues to bring exceptional performances and cultural experiences to Northern Michigan, enriching the region and creating opportunities for connection, inspiration, and celebration.
As a local business rooted in creativity and hospitality, Monarch is deeply grateful for the opportunity to support an organization that brings so much beauty and vitality to our community.
