SUMMARY:DeVos Exhibit Hosts 'Critters: Representations of Animals in Art from the Permanent Collection' Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The DeVos Art Museum at Northern Michigan University is hosting a new exhibit titled “SAME AS NEVER [anything to get out of here\, right?]” through Dec. 15. \nArtists Piper Hill\, Zerek Kempf and Shori Sims consider time\, bodies and architecture as sites of resistance and re-imagination. The exhibit offers an immersive art experience through both physical and digital mediums that aims to provoke\, move\, amuse\, and shake its audience. \nThis exhibition is curated by Snake House VT\, an artist-run collaborative based in Vermont that is dedicated to supporting underrepresented artists through exhibitions\, performances\, screenings and other events and projects. They promote the exchange of ideas through unique programming\, embracing work that presents challenging and provocative contemporary content that is outside of\, or directly eschews\, the predominant commercial system. \nThe museum is also hosting an additional exhibit through Feb. 2 titled “Critters: Representations of Animals in Art from the Permanent Collection.” This collection exhibition highlights diverse depictions of animals in art. It examines humans’ complex emotional and social relationships with animals and the environments both share. Using various media\, the artworks on view speak to the nuances of animal relationships. \nThe DeVos Art Museum is open noon to 5 p.m. Monday-Wednesday\, noon to 8 p.m. Thursday\, and noon to 5 p.m. Friday-Sunday. Admission is free.

SUMMARY:Finlandia Art Gallery presents: Friends of Finland Youth Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Artist Reception: Thursday\, December 4\, 6:30-7:30pm \nDecember 1\, 2025 – January 28\, 2026 \n  \nHANCOCK\, MI – The Finlandia Art Gallery and Finlandia Foundation National (FFN) are pleased to present the Friends of Finland Youth Exhibition featuring the work of elementary and high school students from three states.  \n  \nA reception for the artists will take place on Thursday\, December 4 from 6:30-7:30pm and will include hands-on activities for young people. The reception is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. The exhibit is on display through January 28\, 2026 at the Finlandia Art Gallery\, located in the Finnish American Heritage Center in Hancock.  \nThis exhibit showcases the work of students from three Michigan schools as well as one from Wisconsin and individual artists from Pennsylvania. \n  \n Much of the work in this show is inspired by Finnish painter Helene Schjerfbeck (1862-1946). The opening of the Friends of Finland Youth Exhibit coincides with the opening of Seeing Silence: The Paintings of Helene Schjerfbeck at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, the first exhibition to show the work of the artist in a major United States museum. \n  \nArt students at Florence High School (Wisconsin) created pastel landscapes of their area that were inspired by Schjerfbeck’s landscapes of Finland. According to Florence art teacher Kelli Ellis\, students found the landscapes of Finland they studied to be so familiar they couldn’t believe they were not actually pictures of home. Schjerfbeck is also known for her self-portraits and still-life paintings. Florence students and first and second graders at Houghton Elementary School (Michigan) painted and drew flowers and self-portraits while learning about the artist.  \n  \nYoung artists found inspiration in other aspects of Finnish art and culture as well. Students at Calumet High School (Michigan) created gel plate prints focused on the flora and fauna of Finland and drew inspiration from Marimekko\, the iconic Finnish design collective. Students from Jeffers High School (Michigan) wove colorful wall hangings inspired by Finnish and Finnish-American rag rug weavers.  \n  \nThe opening reception will feature hands-on arts activities for children and teens as well as Finnish refreshments. Immediately preceding the reception from 5:30-6:30pm\, the Finnish American Heritage Center will host its annual observation of Finnish Independence Day. That event features young people as well\, with the Kivajat Dancers performing to music played by the youth folk band Kuparikielet.
