It also serves to show what is possible as a community, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works, by their studiomates Diskette Press, the publisher Maamoul Press, and by the community that uses the space.", "occurrence_notes":"All welcome!

Guest artist Jonathan Lehrer, University Carillonist of Grand Valley State University and Michigan State University, will perform the rededication recital, beginning with the first full performance of \"The Victors\" on the Baird Carillon since the 2017 U-M Bicentennial as a duet with U-M University Carillonist Tiffany Ng. \"The Victors\" will also be livestreamed to SMTD's YouTube channel.\n\nLehrer's program includes \"To The Sun,\" an interactive 10-minute performance for carillon and audience cell phones celebrating data from NASA's Parker Solar Probe. The U-M Frankel Detroit Observatory will coordinate a solar observation station at the base of the carillon throughout the recital, weather permitting. Their solar telescope provides magnificent views of sunspots, prominences, and more.\n\nThe outdoor audience listening space is Ingalls Mall, and listeners are advised to dress for the weather. Tours of the bell chamber will begin after the conclusion of the recital around 4:00 pm. The bell chamber may be accessed via a combination of elevator and stairs, and is not ADA accessible.\n\n*This event is supported by an Arts Initiative Project Support (AIPS) grant.*\n\nGUEST ARTIST BIO\n\nJON LEHRER is the sixth University Carillonist of Michigan State University and the second University Carillonist of Grand Valley State University. A laureate of five international competitions for carillon (including the Queen Fabiola, the Nederlandse Klokkenspel Vereniging, and the Alexius Julien Baroque competitions), he is now a prolific soloist on the global stage, with a CV that includes touring overseas on behalf of the Canada Council for the Arts, teaching masterclasses at Universities across the nation, and performing hundreds of shows on the North American renaissance festival circuit. Jon studied carillon with Geert D\u2019Hollander, Eddy Marien, Koen Cosaert, and Ellen Dickenson and holds degrees from Yale University and the Royal Carillon School of Belgium. Having recently retired from data science and cancer research, he is focused on creating moments of beauty for busy university communities, growing the carillon art, and helping to train the next generation of expressive carillon virtuosi. Jon lives in Michigan with his partner Christy and their two cat-caf\u00e9 adoptees, Henry and Juliet.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"152780-21914514@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/152780", "building_id":"1000155", "building_name":"Burton Memorial Tower", "campus_maps_id":"25", "room":"", "location_name":"Burton Memorial Tower", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"Free - no tickets required", "tags":["Free","Interdisciplinary","Music"], "website":"https:\/\/smtd.umich.edu\/live-stream-burton\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Arts Initiative", "group_id":"4583", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/resolve\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/09\/event_152780_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21914514 } , "152872-21914634": { "datetime_modified":"20261015T165701", "datetime_start":"20261026T090000", "datetime_end":"20261026T163000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-10-26", "date_end":"2026-10-26", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"16:30:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit, 2020\u20132026", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Small Works: Prints & Book Objects from Detroit, 2020\u20132026", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Small Works\nPrints & Book Objects from Detroit 2020\u20132026\n\nOctober 21 - November 19 \nPublic Reception: Friday, November 13 from 4:30-6pm.\n\nSmall Works was a print shop ran by Li Chen & Gerald Schulze, in Detroit, MI, from 2020\u20132026.

Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant, and later studio manager, in 2024. Over those six years, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year, open studio for the public, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026, they decided to expand community programming, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works, by their studiomates Diskette Press, the publisher Maamoul Press, and by the community that uses the space.", "occurrence_notes":"All welcome!

We have seen how the arts and humanities transform perception, provide expertise, and help people grapple with the biggest questions about what it means to be human and to live in an increasingly interconnected, yet often divided world. And, in both the arts and humanities, we know UM faculty are contributing to their disciplines in deeply meaningful ways. \n\nYet, for all we know about these positive effects, arts and humanities research is often imagined to be at odds with the metric-driven language of \u201cimpact\u201d--a term often seen as imposed from fields outside the arts and humanities. At the same time, \u201cimpact\u201d has become the dominant framework for measuring the value of academic research. As a result, arts and humanities faculty are often called upon to describe our \u201cimpact\u201d in ways that are legible to University leadership and funding imperatives, even as we feel uneasy about how to answer such calls in ways that are authentic to our work. How do we avoid finding ourselves outside terms that are increasingly important in the fight for the continued growth and resilience of higher education in the U.S?\n\n\u201cWhat\u2019s Our Impact?: Understanding how the Arts & Humanities Matter\u201d is a series of events slated for October 29 & 30 on UM\u2019s Ann Arbor campus. A joint initiative of the UM Arts Initiative, Office of Vice President of Research (OVPR), and the Institute for Humanities, the gathering will serve arts and humanities faculty seeking more ways to discuss their work in terms that are legible within the ascendant impact paradigm, while also ensuring that those terms are authentic to our disciplines, methods, and creative practice. Through a public conversation, facilitated workshop, keynote from UM leadership, and a panel with funders, the 1.5 day long event will bring together experts\u2013those engaging \u201cimpact\u201d in their research, those in leadership, and those community partners with whom we work\u2013and put them in conversation with arts and humanities leadership and researchers at the University of Michigan. In addition to allowing our communities to come together to elaborate what \u201cimpact\u201d means on our terms, this event is also designed to help humanities and arts faculty recognize how they could become more competitive in University grant opportunities, including the Strategic Initiative Fund, the Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration (ARIA) program, Humanities Institute Fellowship, and a range of other internal and external funding initiatives.\n\nThursday, October 29, 4:30-6:30\nWhat Works Now: arts and humanities advocacy in the impact paradigm \nPendleton Room,

Renowned for his expressive draftsmanship and mastery of performance through movement, Baxter has animated some of animation\u2019s most iconic characters, including Belle in Beauty and the Beast, Rafiki in The Lion King, Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and the title character in Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron. His work has also appeared in films including The Prince of Egypt, Kung Fu Panda, How to Train Your Dragon, and Enchanted, among many others.\n\nThroughout his career, Baxter has held creative and leadership roles at Walt Disney Feature Animation, DreamWorks Animation, and Netflix Animation, where he currently serves as vice president of animation.

His journey took him from a Korean youth military school in Hastings, Nebraska, to Detroit and Ann Arbor, where he studied business and commerce at the University of Michigan. In 1922, he co-founded La Choy with his Michigan friend Wally Smith. Returning to Korea in 1926, he established Yuhan Corporation, a pharmaceutical company that reflected his commitment to public health and social responsibility. During and after World War II, New also contributed to Korea\u2019s independence efforts and the rebuilding of the nation through education, philanthropy, and public health initiatives. His life offers a compelling lens through which to explore migration, identity, entrepreneurship, and the enduring connections between Korea and the United States.\n\nFeaturing original songs by Lisa Sung, this performance brings New\u2019s extraordinary story to life through music and narrative, inviting audiences to reflect on the personal experiences and historical forces that shaped his legacy.\n\nPerformers\n- Lisa Sung \u2014 Composer and piano\n- Jeong Min Huh \u2014 Tenor\n- Brynn Hilliker \u2014 Bass\n- Cecilia Fornuto \u2014 Soprano\n- Harrison McComb \u2014 Saxophone\/Flute\n- Nicholas Classen \u2014 Trombone\n- Max Wetterlen \u2014 Drums\n\n*If there is anything we can do to make this event accessible to you, please contact us at outreachkorea@umich.edu.

We have seen how the arts and humanities transform perception, provide expertise, and help people grapple with the biggest questions about what it means to be human and to live in an increasingly interconnected, yet often divided world. And, in both the arts and humanities, we know UM faculty are contributing to their disciplines in deeply meaningful ways. \n\nYet, for all we know about these positive effects, arts and humanities research is often imagined to be at odds with the metric-driven language of \u201cimpact\u201d--a term often seen as imposed from fields outside the arts and humanities. At the same time, \u201cimpact\u201d has become the dominant framework for measuring the value of academic research. As a result, arts and humanities faculty are often called upon to describe our \u201cimpact\u201d in ways that are legible to University leadership and funding imperatives, even as we feel uneasy about how to answer such calls in ways that are authentic to our work. How do we avoid finding ourselves outside terms that are increasingly important in the fight for the continued growth and resilience of higher education in the U.S?\n\n\u201cWhat\u2019s Our Impact?: Understanding how the Arts & Humanities Matter\u201d is a series of events slated for October 29 & 30 on UM\u2019s Ann Arbor campus. A joint initiative of the UM Arts Initiative, Office of Vice President of Research (OVPR), and the Institute for Humanities, the gathering will serve arts and humanities faculty seeking more ways to discuss their work in terms that are legible within the ascendant impact paradigm, while also ensuring that those terms are authentic to our disciplines, methods, and creative practice. Through a public conversation, facilitated workshop, keynote from UM leadership, and a panel with funders, the 1.5 day long event will bring together experts\u2013those engaging \u201cimpact\u201d in their research, those in leadership, and those community partners with whom we work\u2013and put them in conversation with arts and humanities leadership and researchers at the University of Michigan. In addition to allowing our communities to come together to elaborate what \u201cimpact\u201d means on our terms, this event is also designed to help humanities and arts faculty recognize how they could become more competitive in University grant opportunities, including the Strategic Initiative Fund, the Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration (ARIA) program, Humanities Institute Fellowship, and a range of other internal and external funding initiatives.\n\nThursday, October 29, 4:30-6:30\nWhat Works Now: arts and humanities advocacy in the impact paradigm \nPendleton Room,

Schulze, in Detroit, MI, from 2020\u20132026. Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant, and later studio manager, in 2024. Over those six years, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year, open studio for the public, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026, they decided to expand community programming, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works, by their studiomates Diskette Press, the publisher Maamoul Press, and by the community that uses the space.", "occurrence_notes":"All welcome!

In this poetry workshop, artist Caroline Harper New will guide us through a series of writing meditations that ask us to reflect on our relationship to the natural world. We will think about time, memory, and seasons of transition, as well as the ways in which we become entangled with the beings around us. You will have the opportunity to read poems by others and share our own work. Everyone is encouraged to explore Nichols Arboretum before or after the workshop. No prior art or writing experience is required; all levels are welcome. All materials are provided. Bring your curiosity and love for the outdoors!\n\nArtist Bio:\nCaroline is a scholar and artist from southwest Georgia. She is the author of A History of Half-Birds (Milkweed Editions, 2024) and If I Call This Cave a Garden (YesYes Books, forthcoming 2027).\n\nHer creative work is rooted in the precarious landscape of the Gulf Coast, where her practice spans poetry, sculpture, painting, film, choreography, and the tendons in between. As a Ph.D. student in anthropology, she studies in beyond-human entanglements, ruptures in temporality, and death and extinction in wetlands. She earned her M.F.A. in Poetry at the University of Michigan.\n\nLocation details: \nThis session takes place at the entrance to Nichols Arboretum located at 1610 Washington Heights.

It tells the story of \u201csundown towns\u201d where residents drove out or actively excluded specific groups from residing there (from being in a town after sunset) through ordinances, signs, and acts of violence. Sundown towns excluded Black people, and in some cases, Chinese Americans, Jewish people, Native Americans, Latinas\/os and other racialized groups. Since the 19th century these towns have been prevalent throughout the U.S. and especially in the Midwest, West, and East.\n\nThese policies did not completely disappear over time. The attitudes that drove them morphed into housing \u201ccovenants,\u201d redlining, discrimination within the post-war FHA and discrimination in the granting of bank loans. The results of these decisions and policies haunt our country to this very day. *Don\u2019t Let the Sun* will shine a light on this difficult chapter in America\u2019s ever-expanding history, and help audiences engage productively with \u201chard\u201d histories.\n\nMr. Loewen\u2019s *Sundown Towns: A Hidden Dimension of American Racism* is the definitive history of these phenomena. Another source is the \u201cHistory and Social Justice\u201d website launched by Dr. Loewen, which has had nearly one million visitors over the last three years, and continues to amass cases and first-hand accounts. Librettist Richard Wesley\u2019s text is inspired by the voices of individuals impacted by sundown towns and more recent policies, examining the harm experienced by both the excluded and the excluders; and recent efforts by many sundown towns to reckon with their past and shape a better future.\n\n*\"Don't Let the Sun\" was commissioned with support from an Arts Initiative Project Support (AIPS) grant, an Arts Research: Incubation and Acceleration (ARIA) grant, the U-M Brehm Choral Commissioning Fund and generous support from the Department of History, the Department of American Culture, and the School of Music, Theatre & Dance.*\n\n\u2013\u2013\u2013\n*Parking \/ Traffic alert for attendees:*\nhttps:\/\/smtd.umich.edu\/2026-construction\n\nABOUT THE GUEST ARTISTS\n\nTHEODORE WIPRUD is a composer, an educator, and a researcher on the musical community\u2019s work toward equity and inclusion.

Mariana Matos joined as the studio assistant, and later studio manager, in 2024. Over those six years, the business grew from an extension of their design practice to a community space that hosts more than 70 classes a year, open studio for the public, and year long funded fellowships that investigate practice in art and design related to the Book Arts. In 2026, they decided to expand community programming, and to accommodate this expansion closed Small Works, and formed Center for the Book Arts Detroit (BAD) which operates in the same space.\n\nThis exhibition is a eulogy for the former Small Works shop, and a celebration of all the people who made work here. It also serves to show what is possible as a community, when they share space and create work together. \n\nThe work featured is a collection of things printed by Small Works, by their studiomates Diskette Press, the publisher Maamoul Press, and by the community that uses the space.", "occurrence_notes":"All welcome!

This event is an immersive performance installation that shifts the focus of dance from exterior virtuosity to interior listening. An improvisational score will be performed at 6:45 pm and 7:45 pm. Guests are invited to come and go whenever during those two hours.\n\n*Small Dance Party* investigates the intersection of trans\/queer studies and dance studies by centering softness, attunement, and the ordinary as radical sites of inquiry. While acknowledging the highly virtuosic performances often found in queer communities, this project offers an alternative: a queer dance space that values quiet listening to the body and the environment. By framing dance as an art of attention in space and time, the installation turns toward the mundane movements of everyday life. Outside the bounds of traditional entertainment, dance becomes a critical, living lens to examine transness \u2013 revealing the internal movement that happens while transitioning.\n\nDuring the event, with music composition by Molly Jones, participants and observers are invited into a shared meditative space. The installation asks attendees to yield control: rather than commanding the body, participants are invited to listen to what the body has to say. By engaging with the rhythm of the internal body, the sway of gravity, and the expansion of breath, *Small Dance Party* creates a deeply somatic environment for queering body, movement, and stillness.\n\nThis project is being held in partial fulfillment of the Master of Fine Arts in Dance degree requirements. It was made possible by support from the Department of Dance, William Braddan McClellan, Jr. Fund in Dance, Excel Lab & Career Center, SMTD Wellness Program, Eisenberg Family Depression Center, and the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"148893-21905055@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/148893", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Dance Building", "campus_maps_id":"46", "room":"Perry Kasper Granoff Studio", "location_name":"Dance Building", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"Free - no tickets required", "tags":["Concert","Dance","Free","LGBT","Music","North Campus"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Arts Initiative", "group_id":"4583", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2026\/06\/event_148893_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":1, "first_occurrence":21905055 } , "152125-21913096": { "datetime_modified":"20261015T134954", "datetime_start":"20261123T080000", "datetime_end":"20261123T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2026-11-23", "date_end":"2026-11-23", "time_start":"08:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Awakening the Dragon\u2013Showcasing the Building and Performance of an Asian Icon", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Awakening the Dragon\u2013Showcasing the Building and Performance of an Asian Icon", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Lecture \/ Discussion", "event_type_id":"13", "description":"Experience a curated experience of the imaginary, featuring a lightly sci-fi, magnificent work of art--the LRCCS Fortune and Longevity Dragon, a 25-ft long, Asian-inspired full-body dragon sculpture for use in the traditional \"dragon dance\" crafted by renowned international artist Zhen Guo with U-M faculty arts lecturer Raymond Wetzel, artist Jeri Rosenberg, students, and volunteers The exhibition highlights the story of the dragon's fabrication and its impact on community..
