SUMMARY:Exhibition:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink
DESCRIPTION:The Connoisseurs’ Legacy: The Collection of Nesta and Walter Spink celebrates gifts to the museum from two accomplished scholars with eclectic interests\, a keen appreciation of form\, and a love of learning from objects. Nesta Spink\, curator at UMMA from 1967 to 1979\, is regarded as the preeminent authority on the lithographs of James McNeill Whistler. U-M professor emeritus Walter Spink is a world-renowned specialist on early Buddhist art and architecture in India. This selection of their gifts\, exhibited together for the first time\, provides insight into the minds of two connoisseurs with tastes that range far beyond their areas of specialization\; highlights include exquisite Whistler prints that are rarely on display and a rich representation of South Asian folk art. The Connoisseurs’ Legacy also honors the Spinks’ long relationship with the museum\, their roles as teachers of future scholars and curators\, and their commitment to public education.

SUMMARY:Performance:Gifts of Art presents Salsa!
DESCRIPTION:Pete Siers\, drummer and leader of the renowned Latin jazz combo Los Gatos\, is a powerful\, intensely physical and dynamic player on timbales\, coro and percussion. In addition to Siers\, the other four members of the group\, Cary Kocher\, on vibes and coro\; Kurt Krahnke\, bass\; Brian Di Blassio\, piano and coro\; and Al Di Blassio\, congas\, vocals and percussion\, are all world class performers. They have each toured extensively and have been performing in Los Gatos for over 10 years. With Siers\, this group’s rhythm section is remarkable\, but for many listeners\, the distinctive feature of Los Gatos is Cary Kocher’s vibraphone sound\, which can send a cool flow down your back on a hot summer day. This concert is part of the UMHS Summer Courtyard Concert Series presented by Gifts of Art. Rain/heat location: University Hospital Main Lobby\, Floor 1.

SUMMARY:Performance:Rita Coolidge
DESCRIPTION:Rita Coolidge's credentials are the stuff of legend. Rita released more than a dozen albums after she was signed to A&M in 1971\, including 1978's multi-platinum \"Anytime... Anywhere.\" Several of her singles would become classics\; \"We're All Alone\,\" \"Higher And Higher\,\" and \"The Way You Do The Things You Do\" all qualify as career songs. She’s performed and recorded with high-profile pals like George Harrison\, Roger Waters\, Robbie Robertson\, Jimmy Buffett\, and her husband\, Kris Kristofferson. During their eight-year union the pair teamed up for a number of hits and was twice named Country Duo of the Year. Rita's \"All Time High\" was the theme for the James Bond thriller \"Octopussy\" and \"Heart Don't Fail Me Now\" (with Lee Greenwood) was used as a recurring theme for the CBS daytime drama \"As The World Turns.\" When the cable music channel VH1 debuted\, she was also one of its original veejays. In the 90s\, her place in popular music secured\, Rita began devoting more time\, energy and talent to other concerns. Her own Cherokee heritage inspired increasing involvement in projects that would benefit or call attention to Native American music\, culture\, and issues. Now\, Rita Coolidge’s impact is undiminished—her voice as pure\, sweet and powerful as ever and her ability to get inside a song honed by experience and overview. \"I guess the fact that I'm still here means I must be doing something right\,\" she laughs. \"It's good to know that people who've liked what I do for all these years still like what I do\, and at the same time it sounds good to people who weren't even born when I started out. And it's especially satisfying because I've made a record that's really true to the style of music I love. How can you ask for more than that?\"

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Abstraction: A Graphic Study
DESCRIPTION:Chicago-based artist Natasha Kohli uses abstract acrylic paintings to convey her messages of positivity and love by pouring that energy into each piece. As a self-taught artist\, Kohli is not bound to school taught rules but rather follows instinct and spontaneity. This also allows her to freely create her own processes. Moments of introspection and feelings of acceptance are what Kohli wishes to offer viewers of her work\, and these goals are inspired by her deep love of spirituality and Bikram yoga.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Concrete Ephemera: Street Art Captured
DESCRIPTION:David Zinn has been drawing on sidewalks for well over a decade\, using chalk and charcoal to create anamorphic 3D creatures which\, when viewed at a precise angle\, appear to exist in the real world. They often incorporate parts of the landscape and found objects\, such as cracks in concrete or leaves on the ground. He is inspired by a desire to place cheerful art underfoot in unexpected places and to embrace the temporary nature of all things. For this exhibit\, photographs of his street art installations will be on display. Zinn is a lifelong Michigander with a degree in creative writing from the U-M Residential College\, and he worked for many years as a children’s radio host on WCBN and Michigan Radio. Zinn will also give an artist demonstration alongside a musical performance by Magdalen Fossum in the University Hospital Courtyard on Thurs\, July 21\, 2016 from 12:00-1:00 pm.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Gifts of Art presents Landscapes Imagined: Oil on Canvas
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Veedell creates atmospheric landscape paintings in oil on canvas\, capturing the fleeting moments of light in nature. The root of her work is an emotional reaction to the environment\, implying landscapes not necessarily seen but felt.

Travel is an important component of her work as it allows her to observe and compare gradients of color\, light and atmosphere in different geographic locations.
