DESCRIPTION:People are different. Throughout history\, these differences have been a source of community strength and personal identity. They have also been the basis for discrimination and oppression.\n\nThe idea of “race” has been used historically to describe these differences and to justify mistreatment of people and even genocide. Today\, contemporary scientific understanding of human variation is beginning to challenge “racial” differences\, and even challenge the very concept of race.\n\nRace: Are we so different?\, developed by the American Anthropological Association in collaboration with the Science Museum of Minnesota\, is the first national exhibition to tell the stories of race from the biological\, cultural\, and historical points of view. Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Combining these perspectives offers an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States. For more information about the exhibit\, visit www.UnderstandingRace.org. The traveling Race exhibit has inspired the University of Michigan’s Understanding Race Project\, an audience engagement initiative including the campus-wide\, winter term Understanding Race Theme Semester\, centered in the College of Literature\, Science\, and the Arts\; participation by all ten public school districts in Washtenaw County\; and extensive involvement by community members\, nonprofits\, government agencies\, and other groups.

Articulated and led by women of color with a more encompassing social vision\, reproductive justice usually incorporates both a framework of human rights and an awareness of the intersectionality of women’s identities and struggles against sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, and economic marginalization.\n\nThis exhibit provides a historical context for the emergence and antecedents of reproductive justice. Given that women's lives have never been reducible to one dimension of their reproductive health\, this exhibit traces a longer history of reproductive justice\, illustrating many facets of experiences\, debates\, and policies related to pregnancy\, birth\, birth control\, and raising children.\n\nThe exhibit is held in conjunction with the conference\, Reproductive Justice: Advocates\, Academics\, Activists in Ann Arbor\, a Michigan Meeting.

During her travels\, Blanchard considers no found object too grand or insignificant for expression in the printing medium. She finds the process of monoprinting to be engaging\, fluid\, unpredictable and fun. It is the mysteries behind the frayed veil\, the torn edge and the unspoken word that intrigue her. Blanchard hopes to wake up the viewer's perception\, encouraging in them reflection\, exploration and a connection to meaning. She uses organic materials in her artwork to help draw people to their natural\, healthy and whole state. Blanchard has been involved in arts in healthcare both nationally and internationally.

Her current work focuses on birdpants ̶ tiny\, ornithologically correct pants that “could be for backyard visitors who are either fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.\" She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce highly detailed ̶ and decidedly non-traditional ̶ confections that encourage the viewer to consider the possibilities of enticing a chickadee to don a pair of slacks. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

In her studio\, the sketches and photos give rise to watercolor paintings. Whitewashed walls clinging to a cliff and expressive views of a town as seen by a view of a single walkway are details in her paintings that help viewers feel that they were there. Cassill's postgraduate studies include the University of Iowa\, the Art Student's League in New York City and the Academe de la Grande in Chaumiere\, Paris. Her work is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, New York among others. She maintains a studio on Cape Cod as well as in Michigan.

Through the juxtaposition of news images and images in books\, Leonard creates a conversation in her photographs between present and past. The pictures she makes\, sometimes witty\, often poignant\, are a form of diary\; they reflect her daily observations as she reads the newspaper over morning coffee. Leonard's work has been widely exhibited and published\, including exhibition in the San Francisco Museum of Art's Women of Photography\, and publication in Janson's History of Art\, Gardner's Art Through the Ages\, and the Time-Life Library of Photography.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

The workshops\, taught by Harvey Littleton along with scientist Dominick Labino\, introduced a small furnace built for working glass that made it possible for artists to work in independent studios. The studio glass movement quickly spread north to Michigan\, and in 1982\, a decision was made that studio glass would be the focus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn permanent art collection\, which is housed at the Alfred Berkowitz Gallery. This exhibition is a portion of that collection\, spotlighting studio glass art by major artists working in the medium\, including Dominick Labino\, Marvin Lipofsky and Richard Ritter.

Articulated and led by women of color with a more encompassing social vision\, reproductive justice usually incorporates both a framework of human rights and an awareness of the intersectionality of women’s identities and struggles against sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, and economic marginalization.\n\nThis exhibit provides a historical context for the emergence and antecedents of reproductive justice. Given that women's lives have never been reducible to one dimension of their reproductive health\, this exhibit traces a longer history of reproductive justice\, illustrating many facets of experiences\, debates\, and policies related to pregnancy\, birth\, birth control\, and raising children.\n\nThe exhibit is held in conjunction with the conference\, Reproductive Justice: Advocates\, Academics\, Activists in Ann Arbor\, a Michigan Meeting.

She uses organic materials in her artwork to help draw people to their natural\, healthy and whole state. Blanchard has been involved in arts in healthcare both nationally and internationally.

Her current work focuses on birdpants ̶ tiny\, ornithologically correct pants that “could be for backyard visitors who are either fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.\" She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce highly detailed ̶ and decidedly non-traditional ̶ confections that encourage the viewer to consider the possibilities of enticing a chickadee to don a pair of slacks. Making Ann Arbor her home for more than 20 years\, she spends her spare time filling bird feeders in the hope that\, one day\, she can talk a songbird into modeling her creations.

Two years later\, he broke into the mainstream with the sweeping ballad \"I'll Be\,\" from the album \"Misguided Roses.\" Edwin McCain has toured with Hootie & the Blowfish\, and he has the mature outlook and easy mastery of a performer who's seen and done it all. “I’ve been lucky enough to experience a pretty broad range of stardom\, and the lack thereof\, throughout my journey as a musician\,” Edwin observes. “I’ve been on television shows and won awards\, but I’ve also lived in the back of a truck\, and I’ve even worked the Drive-Thru at Krispy Kreme singing wedding songs.” Edwin's tenth album\, \"Mercy Bound\,\" is a songwriting collaboration with California songwriter Maia Sharp.

Articulated and led by women of color with a more encompassing social vision\, reproductive justice usually incorporates both a framework of human rights and an awareness of the intersectionality of women’s identities and struggles against sexism\, racism\, homophobia\, and economic marginalization.\n\nThis exhibit provides a historical context for the emergence and antecedents of reproductive justice. Given that women's lives have never been reducible to one dimension of their reproductive health\, this exhibit traces a longer history of reproductive justice\, illustrating many facets of experiences\, debates\, and policies related to pregnancy\, birth\, birth control\, and raising children.\n\nThe exhibit is held in conjunction with the conference\, Reproductive Justice: Advocates\, Academics\, Activists in Ann Arbor\, a Michigan Meeting.

During her travels\, Blanchard considers no found object too grand or insignificant for expression in the printing medium. She finds the process of monoprinting to be engaging\, fluid\, unpredictable and fun. It is the mysteries behind the frayed veil\, the torn edge and the unspoken word that intrigue her. Blanchard hopes to wake up the viewer's perception\, encouraging in them reflection\, exploration and a connection to meaning. She uses organic materials in her artwork to help draw people to their natural\, healthy and whole state. Blanchard has been involved in arts in healthcare both nationally and internationally.

Her current work focuses on birdpants ̶ tiny\, ornithologically correct pants that “could be for backyard visitors who are either fashion-forward or simply chilly in the Michigan winter.\" She employs traditional craftwork such as quilting\, embroidery and beading to produce highly detailed ̶ and decidedly non-traditional ̶ confections that encourage the viewer to consider the possibilities of enticing a chickadee to don a pair of slacks.

The 1989 film of “The Little Mermaid” signaled a renaissance in Disney animation and featured songs by the composer Alan Menken and the lyricist Howard Ashman that were regularly described as “Broadway-caliber.” It was heralded as that rare fairy-tale cartoon that could be enjoyed just as much by grown-ups as by children. Disney finally decided to give Ariel a chance on Broadway and the musical officially opened January 10\, 2008 featuring the hit songs \"Part of Your World\,\" \"She’s in Love\,\" and the Oscar-winning \"Under the Sea.\"\n\nInspired by the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale\, “The Little Mermaid” was Disney’s first animated film to feature a newly empowered breed of heroine who gets the prince but doesn’t need saving by him. The beautiful and curious young mermaid\, Ariel\, longs to leave her ocean home to live in the world above. She falls for the handsome human prince\, Eric\, and agrees to a dangerous bargain with the powerful sea witch\, Ursula\, in exchange for legs and a chance to live with the prince on land.

To New Wave pop they brought country and R&B elements\, they brought romantic yearning\, they brought the craft of a true songwriter. Unlike most of the acts of that era of youthful musical attitude\, southeast Michigan native Marshall Crenshaw is still going strong. These days the bespectacled romantic fool of the early 1980s is all grown up\, but with his fabulous songwriting chops undiminished–and even augmented a bit by jazz harmonies on occasion. Stop by and pick up a copy of Marshall's recent limited-edition EP\, \"Stranger and Stranger\,\" funded through Kickstarter! “I still think that recorded music is a great art form\, I still love it and believe in it\, and I’m still always striving for excellence. The fact that the Kickstarter thing was a success\, and that people responded so well to the concept ... this is a really inspiring situation\,” Marshall says. \"And I think that it’s gonna be a good way for me to proceed into the future.”\n\nMarshall appears this evening with the Missouri band The Bottle Rockets\, who themselves added an intelligent lyrical spirit to the Americana genre. The Bottle Rockets will do a full set of their own and will then join Marshall Crenshaw for his set.
