Make Yourself At Home.\n \nA Gathering brings together the newest works of art to enter UMMA\u2019s collection \u2014\u00a0many on display here for the first time.\u00a0\n \nAs a free, public museum, UMMA staff takes care of art for the benefit of the community and society at large. The works on view in this exhibition, all brought into the Museum between 2019 and the present, shows how institutions like UMMA are becoming more permeable to societal challenges, and more nimble in responding to them in service to all in their communities. In this exhibition you will find works that reflect on how global migrations, race, gender, and ecological change shape the way we engage with the world and inform our visions for the future.\n \nThis collection of artistic engagements with issues give us tools to envision who we want to be as individuals, as a museum, and as a society, connected to one another across space and experience.\n \nSo gather here to take in these latest works of art brought here for you. Gather here to be engulfed in their forms and meanings, to discuss their takes, to learn, to disagree. Gather to relax, make a friend, drink a coffee, finish the daily Wordle. Gather to feel full, to be moved and inspired by all the possible imaginations of what is yet to come.\n \nCurated by F\u00e9lix Zamora G\u00f3mez Irving Stenn, Jr. Fellow in Public Humanities & Museum Pedagogy\n\nLead support for this exhibition is provided by Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch, the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment, and the University of Michigan Office of the Provost.\n\u00a0", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"107870-21817886@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/107870", "building_id":"1000151", "building_name":"Museum of Art", "campus_maps_id":"11", "room":"Lizzie and Jonathan Tisch Apse", "location_name":"Museum of Art", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art","UMMA","Staff","Museum","Humanities","Exhibition","Free"], "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ummamuseum\/", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University of Michigan Museum of Art (UMMA)", "group_id":"1177", "website":"http:\/\/www.umma.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/01\/event_107870_original-3.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":423, "first_occurrence":21817716 } , "122110-21848310": { "datetime_modified":"20240610T132829", "datetime_start":"20240816T100000", "datetime_end":"20240816T160000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-08-16", "date_end":"2024-08-16", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"16:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Nicole Ray Art Exhibit: State of Play", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Nicole Ray Art Exhibit: State of Play", "event_subtitle":"", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Dates: Saturday June 8 - Sunday August 25\r\n\r\nReception: Saturday June 8, 2pm-4pm MBG West Lobby\r\n\r\nWhat is play? Who\u2019s to say? The animals of these fields and woods, streams and ponds surely know. They take time each day to adventure and roam, scamper and scout. The plants and trees excitedly join in. Some bend and sway and some glisten in rain. Perhaps each invites their friends from away to come and show them new ways of play. Let\u2019s have a look and spend the day imagining what happens when we look away. An exploration of encounters real and imagined by local artist, Nicole Ray. \r\n\r\nBio\r\n\r\nNicole Ray is an artist and illustrator living in Brighton, Michigan. She grew up in a small beach town in New York with her toes deep in the sand and her head buried in books. Nicole creates a whimsical line of art prints and paper goods under the name Sloe Gin Fizz.\r\n\r\nFrom quirky animal and vegetable characters to nostalgia-filled interiors and calming views of nature, Nicole\u2019s hand-drawn scenes are highly accessible, infused with a playful sense of humor and a strong narrative quality. \r\n\r\nNicole holds a BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts, as well as a BA in History from Trinity College in Hartford, CT. Nicole and her mister live in a log house on a lake just north of Ann Arbor with a spoiled border collie named Stella and an ever-expanding network of critter friends.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"122110-21848310@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/122110", "building_id":"0", "building_name":"Matthaei Botanical Gardens", "campus_maps_id":"554", "room":"", "location_name":"Matthaei Botanical Gardens", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Free","Visual Arts","In Person","Exhibition","Art"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Matthaei Botanical Gardens & Nichols Arboretum", "group_id":"1072", "website":"" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2024\/05\/event_122110_original-1.jpeg" }, "occurrence_count":79, "first_occurrence":21848241 } , "123250-21850592": { "datetime_modified":"20240711T104708", "datetime_start":"20240816T100000", "datetime_end":"20240816T110000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2024-08-16", "date_end":"2024-08-16", "time_start":"10:00:00", "time_end":"11:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"The Clements Bookworm: Boy Soldiers and Military Power in the Civil War Era", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"The Clements Bookworm: Boy Soldiers and Military Power in the Civil War Era: Rebecca Jo Plant and Frances M.

Constituting roughly ten percent of Union troops and likely a similar proportion of Confederate forces, these young enlistees significantly enhanced the size and capabilities of the armies on both sides. They also created a great deal of drama and chaos. They upended household economies by absconding with their vital labor power. They caused loved ones to suffer untold anxiety for their welfare. And they generated myriad encounters between ordinary people and the institutions of government, at times resulting in dramatic showdowns between military and civilian authorities. How did the United States and the Confederacy, respectively, deal with the presence of so many young people in the ranks? The answers are often surprising and counterintuitive. As the U.S. federal government asserted greater authority over the state-based volunteers, Union families in particular found it difficult if not impossible to recover their sons.", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"123250-21850592@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/123250", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"", "location_name":"Virtual", "has_livestream":1, "livestream_type":"zoom", "livetream_require_login":0, "livestream_id":"3", "livestream_link":"https:\/\/umich.zoom.us\/j\/3", "cost":"", "tags":["american culture","american history","Discussion","history","Library","Museum","Virtual"], "website":"https:\/\/myumi.ch\/3QjMV", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"William L.
