SUMMARY:The Marquette Regional History Center presents the Special Exhibit: The U.P. Through 250 Artifacts
DESCRIPTION:February 23\, 2026-January 2\, 2027 \nThis exhibit showcases two hundred and fifty artifacts\, photographs\, and documents from our permanent collections. These objects connect local history to the national story while commemorating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. \nMichigan’s Upper Peninsula has often seemed remote from the rest of the country. However\, the themes and movements of U.S. history can be seen here as well\, especially since the War of 1812. When the country braced for the Civil War\, U.P. iron miners raced to uncover iron for the Union army’s railroads and ammunitions. When labor movements exploded following World War II\, Ishpeming’s Gossard garment factory went on strike for better wages. Objects rarely on display include the medal awarded to a local Spanish American War nurse and a hand sewn battle flag brought home by a soldier from the War of 1812.  Visit marquettehistory.org or call 906.226.3571 for more info.

SUMMARY:Bonnie Loukus : Liminal Sanctuaries
DESCRIPTION:April 23 – June 10\, 2026 \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, April 23\, 7-8:30pm \nHANCOCK\, Mich. – Existing between different spaces while not fully belonging to one or the other is something many people experience. What does it mean to belong and how do we know when we do belong? Liminal Sanctuaries\, a new exhibition by Michigan artist Bonnie Loukus\, features oil paintings of solitary animals and forest floor ecosystems\, in between reality and some incorporeal place where they exist without human interference. The exhibit opens with a reception at Finlandia Art Gallery on Thursday\, April 23 at 7pm and will be on display through June 10.  \n  \nBonnie Loukus is a Keweenaw-based multidisciplinary artist practicing oil painting\, printmaking\, letterpress\, and book arts. Her work explores themes such as the intrinsic value of animals\, plant diversity\, small ecosystems\, symbolism\, incorporeal life\, and solitude. “Being a multidisciplinary artist\, this focus on painting has been a chance to explore my own liminality through observing animals\, plants\, and fungi to the point of sonder while researching symbolism\, poetry\, and color\,” she said. \n  \nThe paintings in the exhibit transport the viewer into what feels like a different world. “This work is a glimpse into something we won’t quite ever have being human\, with the closest possibility of understanding this only achieved by spending time alone in the natural world\,” Loukus explained. “My hope is that this work also conveys that space between contemplative solitude and the desire to connect.” \n  \nLoukus was born in Laurium\, Michigan. She is a Finlandia University graduate who majored in an interdisciplinary honors program that focused on the connection of arts\, culture\, and the environment. During the brief Upper Michigan summers\, with their long days and good light\, she focuses on painting\, sometimes painting at the family’s Finnish homestead\, overlooking former potato fields and cow pastures where her father now “makes hay.” When the days become short and dark\, she turns her practice to printmaking\, spending the evenings carving linoleum blocks. \n  \nHer work is part of US and international collections and recent artist residencies have taken her to Estonia\, Isle Royale National Park\, and Keweenaw Land Trust’s Silver Island. She is the executive director of the Copper Country Community Arts Center in Hancock. Loukus continues to enjoy living on a beautiful and remote peninsula in Lake Superior while visiting Finland and Estonia as often as possible to connect with contemporary art\, heritage\, and the land. \n  \n A reception for the artist will take place at Finlandia Art Gallery in Hancock on Thursday\, April 23 from 7-8:30 p.m. with an artist talk beginning at 7:20 p.m. For more information\, call 906-370-3722 or visit www.finlandiaartgallery.com.   \n  \ngallery@finlandiafoundation.org \nFinlandia Art Gallery \nFinnish American Heritage Center  \nFinlandia Foundation National \n435 Quincy St. \nHancock\, MI 49930

SUMMARY:For the Heartlands Fundraiser Dinner and Concert
DESCRIPTION:Kickstart the Summer with “For the Heartlands” Fundraiser Dinner and Concert on June 5\, 2026\nSupport the launch of the Keweenaw Heartlands Community Forest\nHANCOCK\, MI\, April 21\, 2026— The Keweenaw Heartlands Community Advisory Committee and Keweenaw Community Foundation are partnering to host “For the Heartlands\,” a fundraiser dinner and concert on Friday\, June 5\, 2026\, at the Hidden Pines Barn in Calumet. \nThe event supports the Keweenaw Heartlands Forest Fund\, held by the Keweenaw Community Foundation\, to establish the Keweenaw Heartlands Community Forest. The fund covers costs related to the early governance and management of this future publicly owned\, locally governed forest—one of the first of its kind in Michigan. \nSince late 2022\, the Keweenaw Heartlands Community Advisory Committee has worked to advance the project in partnership with The Nature Conservancy and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The committee has spent over 1\,900 volunteer hours working to ensure sustained public access to the roughly 20\,000 acres in Keweenaw County that make up the Heartlands. \n“We joined the advisory committee because of our club’s mission to support outdoor recreation in the Keweenaw. One of our main trails is on the Heartlands property\,” said Daryl St. John\, Keweenaw ATV Club President. “For us\, it’s about continued access to off-road trails\, hunting\, fishing\, camping—and everything else we love about living in this area.” \nWith more than $324\,000 already secured\, this event celebrates the final phase of fundraising needed to reach the campaign target of $600\,000. Achieving this goal will enable the early planning and start-up of the Keweenaw Heartlands Community Forest once a local\, publicly elected Authority Board is established. \nEvent tickets are available now and expected to sell fast! Tickets are $125 each and include a sit-down dinner\, one drink token (cash bar also available)\, and live music from The Go Rounds. The event will also feature a silent auction showcasing uniquely Keweenaw experiences. Purchase your tickets online: http://bit.ly/4heartlands-tickets \nMore than just a night out\, this event offers attendees a chance to connect with others involved in this project to learn more about what’s ahead for this community forest. \nBecome a Sponsor\nCommunity members and local businesses are also invited to support the Keweenaw Heartlands Forest Fund through sponsorships that advance the campaign’s fundraising goal. Learn more about how you can sponsor: http://bit.ly/4heartlands-sponsor. \n“As I raise a family in the Keweenaw\, it’s very important to me that my children grow up in a place where they’re free to explore the wilderness\,” said Ethan Deshetsky\, of Hidden Pines Barn in Calumet and a Community Forest Hero sponsor for the event. “I support the Keweenaw Heartlands Project efforts to keep wild places open for future generations.” \nFor more information about the Keweenaw Heartlands Forest Fund\, visit www.keweenawheartlandsforestfund.org or contact Robin Meneguzzo at robin@keweenawgives.org or (906) 482-9673. \nFor more information about the Keweenaw Heartlands Project\, visit www.keweenawcommunityfoundation.org/keweenaw-heartlands.
