The Arts Ambassadors provide biweekly suggestions on how to Press Play and engage with the arts through something to listen to, something to make, and somewhere to go.
This week's Press Play theme is Lucky You! Get some free food, learn Irish dance moves, and hunt for prizes at St Patrick’s Day at the Union 3/16 from 6-8 PM. Get in the St Patty's spirit at home with this copycat Shamrock Shake recipe, or use these gratitude journal prompts to feel as lucky as a four-leaf clover! Lastly, watch this Ted Talk on Creating your Own Luck, or for a throwback movie, check out Luck of the Irish on Disney+. The Arts Ambassadors wish you a happy St Patrick's Day and invite you to share how you're celebrating @michiganarts on Instagram.
Send us pictures to @michiganarts on Instagram participating in any of our press play adventures for a chance to be featured <3
Nostalgia
Our theme this week was Nostalgia. Take some time to reminisce and throwback to your childhood.
Reset
This week was all about resetting our minds as we return from a much-needed break. Take time to practice mindfulness with a guided meditation or podcast, take a guided tour of the arb to soak up the sun, and try out bullet journaling for a new and creative way to set goals and relax.

We encourage any U-M student who is interested in joining to apply, regardless of major or experience with the arts.
