SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Arts Initiative Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:The Arts Initiative is university-wide\, and we believe the arts are for everyone. One of our goals is to make creative experiences accessible across all three University of Michigan campuses and beyond by connecting students\, faculty\, staff\, and community members through meaningful artistic opportunities.Throughout the year\, we support hundreds of free or low-cost events\, workshops\, performances\, exhibitions\, artist talks\, creative wellness programs\, and public art experiences. Whether someone has been making art their entire life or is trying something creative for the very first time\, there's a place for them here.We believe that creativity helps us build community\, explore new ideas\, reduce stress\, and connect with one another in meaningful ways. There's no expectation to be an artist when attending our workshops —just come as you are\, stay curious\, and enjoy the process.

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Autumn in Verse: A Poetry Workshop W/ Caroline Harper New
DESCRIPTION:Join us for \"Art in the Arb\"\, a special workshop series designed to welcome U-M students\, staff\, and faculty to Nichols Arboretum through a shared arts experience. 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.  Upon entering the Arb\, look for the James D. Reader Center\, a large white farmhouse. Follow the ramp or stairs to the main entrance with the green door.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:From Studio to Museum Wall: Artist\, Collector\, and the Life of an Artwork
DESCRIPTION:\n\nWhat is the relationship between an artist and a collector? How does a work of art travel from the studio to an exhibition\, and eventually onto loan at a museum? Behind every object on a gallery wall is a chain of relationships\, decisions\, and logistics that rarely gets discussed in art school\, yet shapes the careers of artists and the afterlife of their work.\n\nIn this conversation\, artist Cosmo Whyte\, collector JoAnn Gonzalez Hickey\, and collection manager Elizabeth Tenenbaum pull back the curtain on that journey. Each brings a distinct vantage point: the artist who makes the work and sets its terms\, the collector who lives with it\, supports it\, and makes it available to the public\, and the manager who handles the practical details of cataloguing\, care\, documentation\, shipping\, and loan agreements that keep a collection in good order.\n\nWhether you’re a practicing artist navigating the collecting world\, a student artist looking at career paths ahead\, or an emerging collector\, join us for an insightful conversation with professionals to strengthen your roadmap. An audience Q&A will follow the conversation.\n\nFree and open to the public. Registration requested.\n\nAbout the Speakers\n\nCosmo Whyte\nCosmo Whyte (b. 1982\, St. Andrew\, Jamaica) received a BFA from Bennington College\, a post-baccalaureate at Maryland Institute College of Art\, and a MFA from University of Michigan. In 2020 he had solo exhibitions at MOCA Georgia and ICA San Diego. Whyte has exhibited in biennial exhibitions including Prospect.5 New Orleans (2022) 13th Havana Biennial\, the Jamaica Biennial (2017)\, and the Atlanta Biennial (2016). His work has been included in exhibitions at Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, IL\; The High Museum of Art\, Atlanta\, GA\; The Drawing Center\, New York\, NY\; The Somerset House\, London\, UK\; Museum of Latin American Art\, Los Angeles\, CA\; Atlanta Contemporary\, Atlanta\, GA\; Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris\, France\; and the National Gallery of Jamaica\, Kingston\, Jamaica. His work is in public museum collections including the High Museum\, Atlanta\; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Chicago\, IL\; International African American Museum\, Charlotte\, NC\; Museum of Contemporary Art Georgia\; National Gallery of Jamaica\; and the Pérez Art Museum Miami. In 2022 he joined the UCLA School of the Arts and Architecture as an assistant professor. Whyte lives and works in Los Angeles\, CA.\n\nJoAnn Gonzalez Hickey\nJoAnn Gonzalez Hickey has spent much of her adult life engaged in the visual arts as practitioner\, patron\, friend and advocate.\n\nUpon abandoning the art studio and any potential advancement as a young practicing artist\, her mentor and teacher wisely advised her to continue on by “enjoying an art experience every day.” Reading\, museums\, galleries\, studio visits\, board work and philanthropic engagements became the artistic playground where her eye and individual sensibilities continued to develop.\n\nA move to New York City in 2002 prompted JoAnn to think more formally about collecting. Certainly\, living in New York City\, a major international center for contemporary art\, offered opportunities for a direct and targeted exploration. She spent the next couple of years visiting private collections\, seeking perspective on the various approaches employed by collectors. During this period of time she realized her eye was most often drawn to works on paper. In 2005\, having gained clarity and vision\, she set out to formally build a collection focused entirely on unique contemporary abstract works on paper. In 2012 JoAnn created the Syzygy platform. Syzygy offers her collection for study by college and graduate academic institutions to engage in a multitude of interdisciplinary projects. \n\nJoAn was a speaker at the Vail Symposium\, “Art\, a Matter of Mind\,” in 2018 and has lectured at the University of Minnesota\, Colorado State University\, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA)\, and numerous other colleges and universities across the US. Internationally\, she participated in a panel on collecting at Vienna Art Week in Austria and featured in a video interview with Joana P.R. Neves\, a London-based independent curator and Artistic Director of the Drawing Now Art Fair.\n\nThe collection has expanded considerably over a 20 year history. It offers the fullest expression of what a drawing can be while articulating the range of language employed by individual artists. JoAnn Gonzalez Hickey believes there is value in connecting with the artist in order to gain an understanding of the underlying forces central to the artist’s work. \n\nJoAnn currently resides in the mountains of Colorado. When she isn’t looking at art\, her time is spent enjoying other cultural arts activities\, fly fishing and two young grandchildren. \n\nAbout the Collection \nThe JoAnn Gonzalez Hickey Collection is a significant collection of unique contemporary works on paper by over 450 early to mid-career contemporary artists from around the world. While the collection can largely be characterized as abstract\, there are exceptions yielding to figuration and the narrative. Paper is the essential element of the collection. Ms. Gonzalez Hickey established SYZYGY\, a curatorial and study platform to promote a deeper understanding of the nature of works on paper. \n\nElizabeth Tenenbaum\nElizabeth Tenenbaum is an art advisor\, private curator\, collection manager and a qualified accredited USPAP appraiser who lives in Brooklyn\, New York. Elizabeth is also the Director of Syzygy\, a curatorial study platform focused on unique contemporary works on paper. Elizabeth attended Syracuse University\, graduating with a BFA in 1998. She received her Certificate from NYU in Appraisal Studies in Fine and Decorative Arts. Her career began at Art in General\, a nonprofit organization that assisted artists with the production and presentation of new work. She has been active in the New York City art world for over 25 years working with galleries\, assisting other artists in residency programs\, working as the art director for a nationwide publication and as the assistant director at an art foundation.\n\nIn 2013 she founded her art collection advisory and appraisal firm\, Art Wise\, Inc. She was a visiting critic in 2014 for ABUBUYA KM0 2014 an International Workshop involving visual artists\, cultural managers\, curators\, interacting with the moxeño community El Rosario in Beni – Bolivia\, accessible by the River Mamoré only\; in 2015 visiting critic at the Wassaic Project Residency in Amenia\, NY\; and in 2021 studio visits with NARS foundation residents. Her writing was published in the 2015 book Abubuya. She has presented and lectured about contemporary art collections to students in various Masters of Fine Arts Programs including: Sotheby’s Institute\, New York\; School of Visual Arts\; New York\, University of San Francisco\, CA\; Colorado State University\, Ft. Collins\, CO\; Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art\, Philadelphia\; and University of Minnesota\, Minneapolis\, MN. She lectures annually at Artist in the Marketplace\, at the Bronx Museum of Art.

SUMMARY:Reception / Open House:Opening Reception for *Like the flowing river*
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the opening of Tomoyuki Ueno's exhibition *Like the flowing river*\, featuring a conversation between Ueno and curator Amanda Krugliak. Light refreshments will be served.\n\nAbout the exhibition: Artist Tomoyuki Ueno creates individual works and installations where nature appears to be in an endless conversation with form\, one echoing the other\, a repetition. They are a combination of certainty and ephemerality\, as if hinged between living and loss. The specificity of Ueno’s sculptural works reads like poetry. Ueno’s installation offers visitors time away\, for contemplation\, to draw inward\, to come inside\, to ask the question\, “How are art and the everyday intertwined?” Honoring the Buddhist philosophy of impermanence\, one becomes a continuation of the other. The artist intends the space to offer a restorative and meditative experience.\n\nThis exhibition includes artworks created from natural materials foraged by the artist while in artist residency in Ann Arbor.\n\n*The title refers to the opening line of Hōjōki\, written by 13th-century Japanese Buddhist monk Kamo no Chōmei: \"The flow of the river is ceaseless\, and the water is never the same…\"*

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:FYRST Workshops 2026 - 2027
DESCRIPTION:If you are only seeing one workshop\, please SIGN-IN and refresh the Sessions page! If still having issues\, click this link. \nFirst-Year Relationship and Sexuality Talk (FYRST) is a required\, in-person\, and peer-facilitated workshop that came directly from feedback and listening sessions with current University of Michigan students. Our goal is to create an accessible\, supportive space for student-driven conversations where all identities and experiences are welcomed and in which students can build skills and tools around identifying goals and values and then communicate effectively about those. Workshops will be offered at multiple locations and times throughout the fall semester\, so please sign up for the workshop that works for you!! First-Year Relationship Sexuality Talk (FYRST) FAQ:\n“How many workshops do I have to sign up for?”\nYou only need to sign up for 1 workshop. Attending 1 workshop will fulfill the requirement for the training. \n“I see that there is more than one session\, does it matter which one I sign up for?”\nIt generally does not matter which workshop you sign up for. There will be a few that are designated for specific groups such as transfer students or for students looking for accommodations. If you do not fit these groups please try to save these workshops for those that do and you are free to choose among any of the other workshops. \n“Is this workshop required?”\nThis workshop is required for all transfer and first-year students at the University of Michigan.\n“I’ve experienced harm around relationships or sexual experiences in the past and I am worried that attending this workshop may be harmful for me.” \nOur team is aware that students who are coming into the university that have experienced harm in the past. Our workshop is specifically designed to respect and validate the experiences of survivors and has been carefully constructed to avoid any specific descriptions of violence and focus instead on themes of empowerment\, communication\, and boundary setting. However\, if you still have concerns about programming and would like to request alternative programming\, please feel free to reach out at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“What if I struggle to learn in a presentation setting? I’m an active learner.”\nOur workshop is built to meet a variety of learning styles\, including time for self-reflection\, small group sharing\, and resources to take with you to work through on your own time! This workshop is meant to be interactive and inclusive. \n“Can I request accommodations?”\nWe considered accessibility in creating this workshop and selecting the locations in which the workshops are help. However\, we recognize many places at the University are inaccessible and we've set an * next to workshops that are on the first floor and lack stairs. These workshops also will have a presentation (other workshops we do not) and are a good fit for those who might need a large font. Please sign up for those if you feel that accommodations would assist you and reach out to SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu if you are concerned or have questions. \n“I missed my workshop\, what should I do ?”\nOur team tracks attendance at each workshop by having participants swipe in with their MCard. If you are not able to attend the workshop you signed up for\, our team will continue to send reminder emails until you have completed a workshop. In this case\, please sign up for another workshop as soon as you can as the workshop is required and may fill up especially near the end of the semester. No need to contact SAPAC unless you are not able to reschedule. \n“I have had gender-based violence training before\, can I get this requirement waived?”\nAs this workshop was designed with University of Michigan student feedback in mind\, our workshop is unique to the UM community. Our curriculum focuses on individualized reflection and because of its interactive nature\, each workshop will be unique to the people attending. Although we are excited you already have familiarity with the subject\, this workshop is required for every first year and transfer student. \n“I’m a commuter/non-traditional student\, do I still have to attend?\"\nYes\, this workshop is required for every first-year and transfer student - not only do we want every student to benefit from having this time to connect with peers\, but we also want to make sure your peers benefit from what you bring to our community. If you have any concerns or questions about being able to participate\, please contact SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.\n“I still have questions! Who should I contact?\"\nPlease contact us at SAPAC-FYRST@umich.edu.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Camille Ann Brewer\, MFA\, MLIS
DESCRIPTION:Camille Ann Brewer lives and works in the City of Detroit\, Michigan.  Through the process of textile construction\, Brewer’s artwork intersects cartographic and photographic images that speak to specific spaces and time. Weaving together of physical place\, memory with time is the core subject of this body of work.  \n\nThe artwork is built with time-period paper maps\, which illustrate spatial geography and political territory\; along with paper-collaged images of people\, places and things\, which tie directly to the history and human relationships in space.  In patterns that support the artwork’s theme\, the two disparate paper elements are then woven together to create a serendipitous making and aesthetic experience.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:Comics Beyond Sight
DESCRIPTION:This exhibit covers a variety of creative approaches to comics visual accessibility\, and by extension visual accessibility broadly. Those approaches range from multimedia (audio and textual descriptions) through multidimensional and emerging technologies strategies (3D printing\, haptics\, and screen-based mobile touch interfaces). It demonstrates that comics can be made accessible. Learn about the international efforts of innovators in the realm of comics accessibility for those who are blind or have low vision\, assembled by the Accessible Comics Collective at San Francisco State University (SFSU) with the expertise of blind access professionals. \n\nEmily Beitiks was the accessibility lead for the content creation of the exhibit. She is the co-director for the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center (the first civically funded disability culture center on the planet!)\, and prior to that\, the director of the Longmore Institute on Disability. \n\nNick Sousanis (SFSU)\, the lead creative organizer of the exhibit\, is a Detroit native and was the first person to draw his dissertation in comics format\, subsequently published as the graphic novel Unflattening.\n\nView the exhibit anytime the Hatcher Library is open\, and join us for an opening presentation on Friday\, October 2nd\, 1:00pm - 4:00pm.
