The Holmes Brothers put their stamps on songs by everyone from Nick Lowe to Willie Nelson\, but they're all fabulous original songwriters as well. There's a lot of gospel in the soaring harmonies and heartfelt idealism of the Holmes Brothers\, and a lot of the blues roadhouse too. As Wendell says about their blend of the secular and the sacred\, “Jesus turned water into wine\, not wine into water.” The brothers come to Michigan with a recent release\, \"Feed My Soul\,\" and it's highly recommended that you do just that with their stirring and exhilarating music.\n \n UID:12891-1182429@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/12891 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:music,the ark,the holmes brothers LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

He creates one-of-a-kind blown glass vessels that resonate with both past and present. His work is influenced by various glass and ceramic”¨forms found in ancient cultures including Greek\, Roman and Egyptian. Being a former painter\, the surface of his work becomes a painting in glass. The reference for his surface designs can be traced to the Minoan culture\, 3000 B.C. Although his reference is ancient functional form\, his glass vessels are modern and architectural. Poceta’s museum quality work engages the viewer with beautiful forms and surface designs that can be traced to the late Bronze Age.

Her work employs a combination of realism and impressionism. Eaton's current body of work depicts florals of all sizes\, from individual flowers to massive fields.

Eaton has studied with well known artists that include Daniel Gerhartz\, Everett Raymond Kinstler\, Nancy Guzik\, Rose Franzen and C.W. Mundy. Her work is shown in galleries\, exhibits and private collections throughout the United States.

His philosophy is to always carry a camera. Although his favorite subjects are nature and wildlife in his Oxford\, Michigan backyard\, Kriigel often travels for work. Flying more than 100\,000 miles a year for over 25 years has provided him the opportunity to photograph the world from the perspective of the frequent flyer.

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.

Upon the completion of her first basket from a kit purchased at the Greenfield Village gift shop in 2003\, Fenwick's journey and passion took hold as a self-taught artist. Her attention to detail\, using various carving techniques with stone inlays and pyrography (wood burning)\, enhances and makes each piece unique. She is continuously inspired and amazed by the things that come from the earth - nature's art.

Not far from Columbia City’s main drag\, amidst a swirl of languages and colors and food and accents\, sits a 100-year-old\, two-story house that’s home to the world-weary six-piece orchestral-pop ensemble known as Hey Marseilles. They're world-weary in spirit if not in practice: Hey Marseilles first won hearts across the U.S. with its 2010 debut\, \"To Travels and Trunks\,\" an album showing the education and inspiration only globe-trotting exploration can provide. With Matt Bishop’s lyrical explorations combined with an instrumental palette that embraced folk tradition–accordion\, strings\, and horns\; gypsy\, Gallic\, and classical–\"To Travels and Trunks\" gave musical voice to the universal longing for unfettered freedom. NPR called the record “sublime and heartfelt.” “These songs articulate a sense of longing\, but it’s a longing to appreciate what’s in front of you as opposed to finding meaning in somewhere or someone else\, “ says Matt. “It’s about finding and creating home where you’re at and as you are.” UID:13329-1184471@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/13329 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:hey marseilles,music,the ark LOCATION:Off Campus Location - The Ark, 316 S.

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.

It’s part spectacular visual arts installation\, part performance\, part playground\, part dance party and all chaos.\n\nIn a space like a giant pegboard\, children and families create a landscape together\, weaving elastic in many colors around tall slender golden poles. It is an organic and constantly evolving piece\, vibrant and fueled by live music. Tangle is where children take control and create a giant abstract visually stunning artwork in public spaces\, by stretching their bodies and their imaginations.\n\nhttp://a2sf.org/event/tangle1/ UID:13242-1182974@events.umich.edu URL:https://events.umich.edu/event/13242 CLASS:PUBLIC STATUS:CONFIRMED CATEGORIES:summer activities,summer festival,tangle,top of the park LOCATION:Ingalls Mall CONTACT: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTAMP:20130329T093226 DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20130622T183000 SUMMARY:Performance:Shakespeare in the Arb 2013 - Featuring Much Ado about Nothing DESCRIPTION:Directed by Kate Mendeloff of the Residential Colege and played by University of Michigan students and local actors\, Shakespeare in the Arb offers an interactive outdoor theater experience as the production moves through various sections of the Arb.
