It\u2019s a course where, per the syllabus, students 'develop the capacity to work independently by identifying, exploring, and pursuing a single independent project that involves multiple iterations.' Each student takes their own path, encountering questions that can shape the direction of their creative practice\u2014how do I manage my time? How much constraint vs. freedom do I thrive on? What subject matter do I care about most deeply? How do my ideas about my future goals intersect with the work I want to make now? At the end of the semester, students formally report on their experience in a presentation called the Sophomore Review, and a faculty panel offers individualized feedback. \nUntil now, the classroom studios and review rooms have been the only place to catch a glimpse of the art and design work resulting from this pivotal course. Last year, Associate Dean for Academic Programs Rebecca Strzelec proposed something new: an exhibition installed throughout the Art & Architecture Building during the summer that would celebrate Second Year Studio work and help to welcome the community back in the Fall. This inaugural 2025 Second Year Studio Exhibition showcases our rising third-years and transfer students, and invites first-years and other newcomers to explore both the building, and the creative possibilities ahead. The show features 44 students who have volunteered to participate, yet it honors every Stamps major who reaches the SYS milestone. \nThe pieces on view span a wide array of media and capture a specific moment in each maker\u2019s path\u2014experiments in previously unfamiliar methods, emergent passions, creative risks taken, iterations and reiterations, and the seeds of so much future work.\"\n- Sally Clegg, Lecturer and Student Exhibitions Coordinator\nExhibiting Artists and Designers\n\nRobin Beaney\nAdi Behar\nDavid Byun\nZo\u00eb Corley\nChloe Dennis\nViktoriya Finyak\nMaria Elena Garc\u00eda-Murgu\u00eda\nElisa Gasser\nOlivia Glynn\nRoe Halbert\nNadav Havilio\nDee Holmes\nRuby Hough\nUrvi Joshi\nEunice Kim\nHannah Kryzhan\nBen Levitsky\nJoyce Liu\nKatelyn Ma\nAlexandria Mainor\nErin Malone\nSummer Mansi\nCheyenne Moore\nElla Moxon\nShafiq Muqit\nAlex Nguyen\nAnna Noh\nLeanna Mokihana Paik\nEva Park\nMichelle Peng\nEliana Pettigrew\nZainab Rahmani\nOlivia Reed\nSky Roberts\nZachary Sebestyen\nOliver Lee St Cyr\nSophie Stillwagon\nVeronica Weinberg\nCaitlin Weingarden\nNala Arielle White\nAriel Williams\nSilas Williams\nKatherine Xu\nJoy Yang\n", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"137111-21887299@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/137111", "building_id":"null", "building_name":"Off Campus Location", "campus_maps_id":"1", "room":"", "location_name":"Art & Architecture Building, 2000 Bonisteel Blvd, Ann Arbor MI 48109-2069", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Art"], "website":"https:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/events\/second-year-studio-exhibition", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"Penny W Stamps School of Art & Design", "group_id":"3157", "website":"http:\/\/stamps.umich.edu\/" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_137111_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":59, "first_occurrence":21879655 } , "138082-21881855": { "datetime_modified":"20250904T104107", "datetime_start":"20251022T080000", "datetime_end":"20251022T170000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-22", "date_end":"2025-10-22", "time_start":"08:00:00", "time_end":"17:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Consequence - Group Art Exhibition - Art as Environmental Activism: Susan Goethel Campbell, Halima Afi Cassells and Shanna Merola Collaboration, Sandra Osip, Clinton Snider and Leslie Sobel", "event_subtitle":"Susan Goethel Campbell, Halima Afi Cassells and Shanna Merola Collaboration, Sandra Osip, Clinton Snider and Leslie Sobel", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"This group exhibition is an in-depth exploration of the role of art as a powerful catalyst for environmental activism. At first glance, these works each possess striking beauty. However, a closer inspection reveals a profound and often unsettling depth that challenges one\u2019s perceptions. \r\n\r\nThe artworks are imbued with many layers of meaning, inviting us to engage critically with the themes presented and encouraging us to reflect on our often-fraught relationship with the natural world. Through a variety of mediums and techniques, these works prompt us to confront uncomfortable truths about climate change, habitat loss, and the disappearing biodiversity around us. \r\n\r\nCampbell\u2019s captivating \u201cHeatscape\u201d series transforms what is often an intangible concept into the tangible realm by visually translating heat distribution data to depict the impact of urban design on climate. This series offers a profound exploration of the intriguing phenomenon known as \"urban heat islands\u201d, a term that describes urban areas that absorb and radiate significantly more heat than their surrounding rural landscapes due to human activities and infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\u201cHeatscape\u201d invites us to engage in a deeper reflection about the profound impact that human ingenuity has wielded over the natural world, serving as a visual reminder of our responsibility to urban design that is considerate to the environment and communities it impacts. This work challenges us to recognize the interplay between our lifestyles and the environment, urging a dialogue about sustainable practices that could mitigate the effects of these heat islands.\r\n\r\nSnider\u2019s work powerfully illustrates the remnants of industrialization, capturing the unsettling essence of its aftermath. In his art, we encounter an urban landscape that is strikingly devoid of human presence, creating an almost haunting atmosphere. This absence of people amplifies the eerie feeling and serves as a warning about the enduring consequences of industrial progress. It prompts viewers to reflect on the environmental impact and the transformations that society has undergone, urging us to consider what aspects of our world will persist in the wake of such change. Ultimately, Snider\u2019s poignant depictions challenge us to confront the stark reality of a landscape altered by human activity, inviting contemplation on both the beauty and the desolation that can coexist in our modern environments.\r\n\r\nSandra Osip\u2019s sculptures delve deeply into the juxtaposition of decay and destruction alongside the concepts of life and growth. Through her abstract structures, she illustrates the profound effects climate change has on our urban landscapes and the planet as a whole. These pieces serve as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between nature and human impact, while Osip\u2019s imaginative flowers evoke a sense of nostalgia and loss, symbolizing the beauty of what has been irretrievably diminished in our world. By celebrating these natural forms, she not only honors the richness of biodiversity but also raises awareness about the environmental crisis we face.\r\n\r\nCassells\u2019 work not only celebrates a profound connection to nature and sustainable practices but also serves to illuminate the significant impact that climate change has on vulnerable communities. Through her art, she investigates the intricate relationships between different environmental systems, emphasizing how they are all interconnected. \r\n\r\nBy delving into these themes, Cassells sheds light on the challenges faced by communities that often bear the brunt of climate change despite contributing the least to the problem. Her exploration encourages a deeper understanding of how environmental changes affect social structures and the lives of people in marginalized areas. In doing so, she advocates for greater awareness and action to address these issues, ultimately promoting a more sustainable and equitable future for all. \r\n\r\nShanna Merola\u2019s photo-collages are informed by the stories of environmental justice struggles past and present. Shanna Merola and Halima Afi Cassells collaborated on collage and interactive installations for over five years. Researching, wandering, photographing, and creating together while interrogating the interconnectedness of environmental degradation, and global corporatism, and community response.\r\n\r\nSobel takes a more straightforward approach by helping us begin to grasp the reality of living in a world affected by climate change. Her work described as \u201cwilderness-based, science-inspired\u201d, serves as a bridge, connecting viewers to experiences that might seem too distant or unfolding too slowly for most people to comprehend firsthand. In doing so, she not only raises awareness but also encourages dialogue about the pressing challenges our planet faces. Through her work, Sobel facilitates a deeper understanding of the interconnection between humanity and the environment, compelling us to reflect on our role in addressing these urgent issues.\r\n\r\nThese diverse approaches to creating art serve as powerful connections to the most critical and pressing environmental issues of our time. This engagement serves to deepen our understanding of these challenges from multiple perspectives, including cultural, social, and scientific viewpoints. \r\nFurthermore, these approaches are not only meant to inform but also to inspire. They challenge us to reconsider our relationship with the planet and encourage us to take actionable steps toward sustainability.", "occurrence_notes":"for further information contact: serrag@med.umich.edu", "guid":"138082-21881855@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/138082", "building_id":"0", "building_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "campus_maps_id":"595", "room":"Rotunda Gallery", "location_name":"North Campus Research Complex Building 18", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":["Exhibition","Art","Detroit","Diversity Equity and Inclusion","Ecology","Environment","Festival","Free","Humanities","Natural Sciences","Nature","Science","Visual Arts"], "website":"", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"North Campus Research Complex NCRC Art Program", "group_id":"5062", "website":"https:\/\/ncrc.umich.edu\/life-ncrc\/occupant-amenities\/art-program" } ], "image_url":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_thumb_square":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_thumb_square\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "group_large_lightbox":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/group_large_lightbox\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_large_crop":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_large_crop\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_list_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_list_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_grid_2x":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_grid_2x\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_large":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_large\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg", "event_feature_thumb":"https:\/\/events.umich.edu\/media\/cache\/event_feature_thumb\/media\/attachments\/2025\/08\/event_138082_original-1.jpg" }, "occurrence_count":58, "first_occurrence":21881825 } , "137072-21879504": { "datetime_modified":"20250922T152041", "datetime_start":"20251022T080000", "datetime_end":"20251022T220000", "has_end_time":1, "date_start":"2025-10-22", "date_end":"2025-10-22", "time_start":"08:00:00", "time_end":"22:00:00", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"Michigan Arts Festival", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"Michigan Arts Festival: September 25\u2013October 26, 2025", "event_subtitle":"September 25\u2013October 26, 2025", "event_type":"Fair \/ Festival", "event_type_id":"10", "description":"The Michigan Arts Festival will run from September 25 to October 26, 2025, across U-M\u2019s Ann Arbor, Dearborn Detroit, and Flint campuses and at select community venues.

She focuses on expressing gratitude, compassion, and a sense of responsibility towards environmental protection. After years of working with traditional media such as oil, acrylic, and watercolor, her art is transitioning to more sustainable materials. The pigments she uses in her collages are sourced entirely from plants, all collected and processed by Cathy herself from various locations throughout Michigan. This natural paint has become a vital part of her expressive palette, driving her to approach her work with a renewed sense of integrity and awareness of our interconnected ecosystem.\r\n\r\nIn her collages, Cathy skillfully combines paper painted with her homemade botanical pigments and intricately punched shapes, creating a distinctive micro-scale vocabulary. These miniature worlds are thoughtfully assembled within larger contexts, challenging our perceptions of the universe and our place within it.\r\n\r\nRecently, Cathy has embarked on a new adventure: creating art directly from plant materials. By collecting, drying, and weaving leaves, she has developed an exciting rhythm in her process. Through simple weaving, twining, and basketry techniques, she has deepened her enthusiasm for and connection to the plants surrounding her in her yard and neighborhood.
