SUMMARY:Northern Tier\, an exhibition of oil paintings by Finnish American artist Eric Aho
DESCRIPTION:The Finlandia Art Gallery and Finlandia Foundation National (FFN) are pleased to present Northern Tier\, an exhibition of oil paintings by Finnish American artist Eric Aho. The exhibit will be on display from September 18 to November 13\, 2025\, at the Finlandia Art Gallery\, located in the Finnish American Heritage Center in Hancock.  \nA reception for the artist will take place on Thursday\, October 9\, from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.\, with an artist talk beginning at 7:20 p.m. The reception is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. \nAho will also be participating in Finlandia Foundation’s first Artist in Residency program\, coming to the Copper Country in early October to find inspiration in our lush forests and pristine shoreline. During his residency\, Aho will complete several finished artworks which will be on display alongside 25 works sent from his Vermont studio.  \nFFN recognized Eric Aho as Artist of the Year from 2022-2024\, honoring his outstanding contributions to contemporary art and celebrating his deep connections to his Finnish American culture and traditions. This exhibition and residency serve as a culmination to his contributions as Artist of the Year. \nAho is a third-generation Finnish American living in Vermont. His grandfather emigrated to the United States in 1903\, followed by his grandmother and uncle in 1906. His aunt and father were born in the Finnish community of Sugar Creek\, Ohio\, in 1917 and 1920\, respectively. Shortly after his father’s birth\, the family relocated to the vibrant Finnish community in Fitchburg and Townsend\, Massachusetts. \nAho maintains strong personal and professional ties to his ancestral Finland and credits his Finnish American upbringing as a continuing source of inspiration and influence in his work. \nHis paintings represent the Finnish way of life\, strongly connected to nature\, sauna and community. In his Finlandia Art Gallery exhibit Northern Tier\, Aho will exhibit paintings that are shaped by both memory and direct observation of northern boreal forests\, forests that stretch across high northern latitudes. Providing a particularly rich and complex subject for Aho\, northern boreal forests represent both a biome and a wellspring for his imagination. For many years\, Aho has painted across vast geographic locations\, from the northern United States to the Laurentian Mountains of Canada\, and across to Scandinavia and the Finnish taiga. \n“These trees-along with their verdant understories and varied terrains\, often punctuated by streams\, rapids\, and glacial erratics-register in my eye and imagination as the forests central to our archetypal associations\,” says Aho. “My forest paintings\, like much of my work\, invite multiple meanings and interpretations. I’m inclined to suggest unseen human presence in the forest through the materiality of paint itself. Oil color oozes and tenses\, puckers and shines\, drawing our attention to the human-like qualities of the forest beyond the limbs\, trunks\, veins\, and crowns we share in common.” \n“Forests are wild and mysterious places\, but they are also familiar refuges\,” continues Aho. “At times\, they’re grand and architectural-cathedral-like\, with arcades\, columns\, vaults\, and aisles. Other woods are smaller and feel intimate. Their spaces\, organized like rooms\, hallways\, foyers\, and thresholds\, evoke the places we live in and inhabit. In these ways\, the Northern Tier paintings are as much about worlds within the forested places as they are about the world of paint and its magical ability to transform space and time.” \nNorthern Tier will be on display through November 13\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Superior Shipwrecks Exhibit Opens at Beaumier Center
DESCRIPTION:The Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center at Northern Michigan University will open a new exhibition titled “Gales of November: Shipwrecks on Lake Superior” at noon on Friday\, Sept. 19\, in its gallery in Gries Hall. \nFrom the earliest days of sailing vessels on Lake Superior\, November has taken its toll on the maritime trade. This exhibit will look at some of the more famous and fascinating shipwrecks that led to either the disappearance of a vessel or its eventual destruction.   \nIn November\, large arctic air masses in Alaska and Canada begin to make their way southeast across the lakes\, while low-pressure systems from the Gulf of Mexico travel northward toward the lakes. When these systems collide over the Great Lakes\, it creates a very unstable weather pattern that can essentially turn into an inland hurricane. One nickname for these storms is the “Witch of November\,” characterized by gale-force winds\, massive waves and quick-changing weather patterns.  \nNovember will mark the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the “Edmund Fitzgerald” and the story of that tragedy will be chronicled in the exhibit. Other shipwrecks that will be featured include the “Algoma” (1885)\, “Bannockburn” (1902)\, “Lucerne” (1886)\, “Myron” (1919) and many others. Each section will feature images of these ships\, copies of weather maps from the day they sank\, and newspaper headlines of some of the storms that wrecked their havoc on Lake Superior shipping. There will also be several artifacts on display from various Lake Superior shipwrecks on loan from Isle Royale National Park. \nVisitors can also view a selection of drawings on display by the noted maritime artist Ed Pusick that feature his dramatic interpretations of various shipwrecks\, including the “Edmund Fitzgerald.” These drawings are on loan from the Fred Stonehouse collection at the Marquette Maritime Museum. Pusick (1927-2006) was a Navy veteran and architectural illustrator\, best known as the “Master of Disaster” for his detailed illustrations of Great Lakes shipwrecks. After a military accident disabled him\, he pursued his passion for drawing\, creating influential shipwreck art that was featured on the History Channel\, in museums and in books by historians such as Fred Stonehouse.  \nThe exhibition will be on display in the Beaumier Center’s gallery through Dec. 20 and is free and open to the public. The Beaumier Center is open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday and from noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays.

SUMMARY:Marquette Regional History Center presents: Here Comes the Wizard Oil Wagon: Senior Support Series
DESCRIPTION:Marquette Regional History Center presents:\nHere Comes the Wizard Oil Wagon: Senior Support Series (SSS)\nWednesday\, November 5\, 1:30 p.m. \nDuring the last quarter of the nineteenth century\, Marquette County residents eagerly awaited the arrival of various traveling medicine shows.

This presentation by local history buff Bill Van Kosky will take us back to the golden age of quackery\, when medical science was floundering and anyone could legally put anything in a bottle and say that it would cure all ills of man or beast. This daytime SSS program includes an antique medical equipment display by Chip Truscon\, door prizes\, and complimentary Dead River Coffee.\nAll ages welcome.\nFree program.\nFor more info visit marquettehistory.org or call 906.226.3571

SUMMARY:'American Revolution' Preview and Panel Discussion Nov. 5
DESCRIPTION:  \nWNMU-TV will host a preview screening and panel discussion related to “The American Revolution\,” a new Ken Burns six-part\, 12-hour documentary series that explores the country’s founding struggle and its eight-year War for Independence. The screening is open to the public and takes place at 7 p.m. Wednesday\, Nov. 5\, in the Northern Center Ballrooms on Northern Michigan University’s campus.  \n“This opportunity to learn about the founding of the United States’ democracy is brought to you as part of NMU’s commitment to expand opportunities for civic learning and community engagement by staff\, faculty and students\,” said Tammy Wixtrom Johnson of WNMU public media. “This is one of the strategies outlined in Our Compass\, NMU’s strategic plan.” \nHosting the event for WNMU-TV is Jim Koski. The three panelists leading the discussion and question segment are the following NMU faculty and staff members:  Carter Wilson\, professor and department head\, Political Science & Public Administration; Emily Romeo\, assistant professor\, History; and Justin Schapp\, assistant director of KCP grant administration and faculty/staff initiatives\, Office of Opportunity\, Empowerment & People. \nThis screening event gives a preview of “The American Revolution\,” which has been in production for eight years. It was directed and produced by Ken Burns\, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt\, and written by longtime collaborator Geoffrey C. Ward. The series premieres Sunday\, Nov. 16 and airs for six consecutive nights through Friday\, Nov. 21 from 8-10:00 p.m. ET on WNMU-TV.  \nAccording to a synopsis\, it examines how America’s founding turned the world upside-down. Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in rebellion\, won their independence\, and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and inspired centuries of democratic movements around the globe.  \n“The American Revolution is one of the most important events in human history.” said Burns. “We went from being subjects to inventing a new concept–citizens–and set in motion democratic revolutions around the globe. As we prepare to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our founding\, I’m hopeful that people throughout the country will come together to discuss the importance of this history and to appreciate even more what our ancestors did to secure our liberty and freedoms.” \nInformation provided by WNMU-TV \n
