SUMMARY:Hancock - Unveiling of Sculptures at the Quincy Dry House Ruins
DESCRIPTION:Keweenaw National Historical Park\, the Keweenaw NHP Advisory Commission\, and Isle Royale and Keweenaw Parks Association scheduled the unveiling of four sculptures on the landscape at the Quincy Dry House Ruins along US-41\, Thursday\, September 26\, from 10:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.; all members of the public are invited to attend.\n\nArt has been a part of the history of the National Parks since the 1870s when Hudson River School painters captured majestic Western landscapes.  Keweenaw NHP and its partners set out to commission an art piece that captures the workers and families who were once sprawled densely throughout the Copper Country\, showing the everyday lives of those who are gone\, but not forgotten. Artist Kasey Koski has captured those themes through the metal of her sculptures.\n\nKoski is an interdisciplinary artist\, curator and educator living in Wenatchee\, Washington. From 2015 to 2023\, she served as exhibits curator for the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center and is currently serving as curator for the Chelan County Museum. Her ties to the Keweenaw run deep. She attended Finlandia University and is descended from mining immigrants to the Keweenaw.\n\nKoski and Keweenaw NHP will hold numerous events throughout September for all to attend. On Saturday\, September 21 and 28 from noon – 2:00 p.m. at the Calumet Visitor Center\, Koski will host a hands-on workshop where participants of ages can create silhouettes of their own. Join her on Wednesday\, September 25 at 6:00 p.m. at the Calumet Visitor Center for her presentation on her inspiration and process for creating the sculptures.\n\nTo learn more about the program visit: https://go.nps.gov/KeweArtist2024\n\nTo find Kasey’s portfolio\, blog\, and more visit https://www.kaseykoskiart.com/

SUMMARY:Hancock - Laura Foster Nicholson Exhibit

Cranbrook is a very small but intensively aesthetic school\, dedicated to the hand\, critical thought and vision\, and the goals of the arts and crafts movement\, a handmade environment\,” says Foster Nicholson.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCranbrook Academy of Art\, Bloomfield Hills\, Michigan \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Eliel & Loja Saarinen\, a Finnish Architect and his textile designer wife\, designed much of the original Cranbrook community\, with buildings detailed down to the laying of each brick\, bringing in sculptors and metalsmiths and weavers to embellish and bring to life this extraordinary Finnish American environment. Their aesthetic has lived on for decades at Cranbrook\, and I became a devotee.” \n  \n“So now\, I am part Finnish\, by adoption\,” continues Foster Nicholson. “I was\, and still am\, mesmerized by the totally designed environment\, engaging art and craft and design in equal portions. When I was a student there\, I had a work-study job at the Cranbrook Museum\, helping to prepare Loja Saarinen’s rugs and textiles for a large exhibition about Cranbrook (Design in America: the Cranbrook Vision\, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art). And now\, I live in New Harmony\, Indiana\, a Utopian settlement full of art\, artists\, visionaries\, and life.” \n  \nFoster Nicholson’s artwork is in a number of museum collections\, including the Art Institute of Chicago\, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts\, the archives of the Venice Biennale\, Racine Art Museum\, Reading Public Museum\, Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum of the Smithsonian Institution\, and the Cotsent Collection of the Textile Museum\, Washington\, DC\, as well as many private and corporate collections.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nForetelling the Future\, Reflecting the Past will be on display at The Finlandia Gallery through November 13\, 2024. \nThe Finlandia Art Gallery is located in the Finnish American Heritage Center\, 435 Quincy Street\, Hancock. Gallery hours are Monday-Friday\, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm. Please call 906-487-7309 or email gallery@finlandiafoundation.org for more information.

SUMMARY:Houghton - Plaidurday
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, Houghton’s Plaidurday celebration made a bold attempt to break a world record by gathering over 1\,700 plaid-clad participants on the Houghton High School Football Field. The community rallied together in true UP spirit\, proving that plaid isn’t just a pattern – in the Keweenaw\, it’s a way of life! \n\nBuilding on that momentum\, Plaidurday 2024 is expanding to include a new event that promises to keep the good times rolling. This year’s photo will be at 1 p.m. with a call time of 12:30 for attendees at the Houghton High School football field. Join for the photo and hang around town for the afternoon. In the evening\, folks can head down to Brew Street (Lakeshore Drive)\, where a lively beer garden with music and food trucks will be set up. Friends and neighbors can unwind together wearing their flannels on the pier. Expect great beer pours\, regional food trucks from across the UP and a brief history lesson about the Lakeshore’s development over the years by the Carnegie Museum. Brew Street is a fundraiser for the Carnegie Museum\, a Keweenaw National Historical Park Heritage Site. It will be open from 5-10 p.m.

SUMMARY:Houghton - Brew Street
DESCRIPTION:Brew Street (Lakeshore Drive)\, where a lively beer garden with music and food trucks will be set up. Friends and neighbors can unwind together wearing their flannels on the pier. Expect great beer pours\, regional food trucks from across the UP and a brief history lesson about the Lakeshore’s development over the years by the Carnegie Museum. Brew Street is a fundraiser for the Carnegie Museum\, a Keweenaw National Historical Park Heritage Site. \nBrew Street opens from 5-10 p.m. and will allow all ages to enjoy the bands\, history presentation and food trucks on the Houghton Pier. The adult beverage area will be 21+ for purchasing and consuming alcohol on Brew Street. \n  \nA 1917 map over what is now the Houghton Pier shows that Lakeshore used to be called “Brew Street” from Isle Royale to Dodge. \n  \nThe history and idea behind Brew Street originated from Houghton’s original lakeshore layout.  Brew Street ran from Dodge to Isle Royale Street\, between the railroad track and Shelden Avenue.  It was located behind what used to be Haas brewery. The City of Houghton has never lost touch with its resilient spirit\, and Plaidurday’s Brew Street is a perfect opportunity to stake your claim in the Keweenaw’s fall festivities. Follow up Friday’s fun with a Plaid Color Run on Saturday and Houghton’s Fall Fest. Brew Street is put on by Visit Keweenaw\, the Keweenaw Chamber of Commerce\, City of Houghton and the Carnegie Museum.
