During her travels\, Blanchard considers no found object too grand or insignificant for expression in the printing medium. She finds the process of monoprinting to be engaging\, fluid\, unpredictable and fun. It is the mysteries behind the frayed veil\, the torn edge and the unspoken word that intrigue her. Blanchard hopes to wake up the viewer's perception\, encouraging in them reflection\, exploration and a connection to meaning. She uses organic materials in her artwork to help draw people to their natural\, healthy and whole state. Blanchard has been involved in arts in healthcare both nationally and internationally.

Her current work focuses on birdpants ̶ tiny\, ornithologically correct pants that “could be for backyard visitors who are either fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.\" She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce highly detailed ̶ and decidedly non-traditional ̶ confections that encourage the viewer to consider the possibilities of enticing a chickadee to don a pair of slacks. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

For this exhibit\, U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design Book Arts Instructor\, Barbara Brown\, has collected a body of work created by her students who have spent the 2013 winter semester exploring contemporary books and making books as art objects. The following students have work in the show: Ashley Allis\, Jessica Costantini\, Caili Dalian\, Nancy Huynh\, Rachel Junker\, Janice Lee\, Minji Lee\, Nina Levin\, Corinn Lewis\, Rosie Liao\, Lyz Luidens\, Erica Neuman\, Megan Reina\, Anna Schulte\, Amanda Stimac\, Haley Tanasijevich\, Diane Thach and Leah Whiteman.

In her studio\, the sketches and photos give rise to watercolor paintings. Whitewashed walls clinging to a cliff and expressive views of a town as seen by a view of a single walkway are details in her paintings that help viewers feel that they were there. Cassill's postgraduate studies include the University of Iowa\, the Art Student's League in New York City and the Academe de la Grande in Chaumiere\, Paris. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York among others. She maintains a studio on Cape Cod as well as in Michigan.

Through the juxtaposition of news images and images in books\, Leonard creates a conversation in her photographs between present and past. The pictures she makes\, sometimes witty\, often poignant\, are a form of diary\; they reflect her daily observations as she reads the newspaper over morning coffee. Leonard's work has been widely exhibited and published\, including exhibition in the San Francisco Museum of Art's Women of Photography\, and publication in Janson's History of Art\, Gardner's Art Through the Ages\, and the Time-Life Library of Photography. She is a distinguished Professor Emeritus at U-M.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Kaplan earned her BFA in Studio Art & History from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles\, and her MFA in Printmaking from Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti\, Michigan. She is represented by WSG gallery in Ann Arbor\, where she is an active partner and has exhibited her work continuously since 2005.

DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

The exhibit is based on the class created by U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design Associate Professor Anne Mondro. Partnering with the U-M Silver Club mild memory loss program club members\, including the newer Elderberry (barely elder) group\, students guided the members in art making. The theme of the semester was “Lessons Learned.” Students and club members shared experiences and expertise to create one-of-a-kind works of art. The final result is an art exhibition for the Club Members\, care partners and students. This traveling exhibition captures the spirit of creativity and embraces a shared experience. \n\nSponsored by U-M Geriatrics Center\, Silver Club Mild Memory Loss Programs\; U-M Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design\; U-M Alzheimer's Disease Center\; and U-M Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum.

The exhibition and its related publication\, part of the UMMA Books series\, trace the evolution of Pita's design ideology through installation pieces\, urban design\, tableware\, furniture\, and architecture\, as well as small adornments. Pita's boldly colored works draw from literary\, art\, and biological sources\; employ cutting-edge architectural fabrication techniques\; and cross borders of visual art\, architecture\, and design.\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by the Herbert W. and Susan L. Johe Endowment\, Laura Lynch and Hugh McPherson\, and the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts. Additional generous support is provided by Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.\n UID:11659-1178524@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/11659 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:visual arts,architecture LOCATION:Museum of Art CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130227T082122 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130527T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20130527T163000 SUMMARY:Exhibition:Recent Acquisitions: Building on the Clements Collections DESCRIPTION:The Clements Library never stops adding to its collections of primary source material.

The photos\, taken between 1911 and 1940\, trace her early life to her education in Germany and\, eventually\, her marriage and move to New York with husband Benno\, the photographer who took many of these pictures. These images and Pesha’s story were discovered after Benno’s death by his son\, Eric Bermann\, who co-curated this exhibit.
