🎨✨ Art has a way of telling stories, and on this week’s *Experience Michiana*, Kelsy visits the **Judith Racht Gallery**, a place known for bringing talented artists and inspiring works to the community—often before the artists become widely known. 🖼️💫

Kelsy talks with Judith about the gallery’s latest exhibition, featuring two unique artists with very different styles. One fills their work with vibrant colors and bold shapes, while the other captures a sense of peace and emotion inspired by the beauty of the lake. 🌊🎨

Join us as we explore creativity, inspiration, and the power of art to connect us all.

🌸🌿 Those beautiful pink and white flowers blooming along roadsides and trails in May and early June may catch your eye, but looks can be deceiving!

In this episode of Outdoor Elements, Evie takes a closer look at Dame's Rocket, a non-native plant that can crowd out native wildflowers and negatively impact local habitats. 🌱⚠️

Often mistaken for Garden Phlox, Dame's Rocket has some key differences that make it easier to identify once you know what to look for. Join Evie as she shows us a patch in bloom and explains why protecting native plants is so important for a healthy ecosystem. 🌎💚
