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:Finlandia Art Gallery presents The 4th Annual Folk School at Midsummer Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:June 17 – August 19\, 2026 \nOpening Reception: Wednesday\, June 17\, 7-8:30pm \nThe Folk School at Midsummer exhibit in the Finlandia Gallery at Finlandia Foundation’s Finnish American Heritage Center opens on Wednesday\, June 17. A reception will begin at 7 p.m. that evening and takes place in conjunction with the opening of an archival exhibit featuring the works of painter Akseli Gallen-Kallela that are part of the Heritage Center’s archive collection.  \n“It has become an annual tradition to celebrate midsummer with work from our Folk School\, but what visitors see in the exhibit really changes in beautiful ways from year to year\,” said Clare Zuraw\, director of the Finnish American Folk School and interim gallery director. “The creativity and skill of our incredible instructors and students shines brightly in this exhibit. All are welcome to visit and discover how we’re linking traditional skills with contemporary art.” \nRegular visitors to the annual exhibit have likely come to expect fiber art and this year is no exception with weaving\, knitting\, and felting throughout the gallery. Visitors will also find remarkable basketry\, ceramics\, instruments\, and wood carving.  \nFolk School Ceramics Studio member Brooke Hilman reflects on the process of working with clay. “It grounds me in the physical world. It allows me to approach my process intuitively as a form of play\, and a form of reconnection to the body” she said. “Ceramics feels like a call toward something old\, steady\, and slow\, cultivating a deeper sense of authenticity through making.” \nThis sense of authenticity and steadiness suffuses the entire exhibition and the experience of learning and making at the Finnish American Folk School throughout the year.  \nThe opening reception on June 17 will also feature music\, with a 7pm performance by Kuparikielet\, the Folk School’s youth dance band. The Gallen-Kallela exhibit\, which will be displayed in the Martha Wiljanen Community Hall\, is the first time in nearly 20 years that these works of art by the world-renowned artist will grace the walls of the Heritage Center. Clare Zuraw\, along with archivist Joanna Chopp and Finlandia Foundation Executive Director Tommy Flanagan\, will offer brief remarks about both exhibits at about 7:30 p.m.  \n“The Gallen-Kallela exhibit will include original works\, as well as a set of signed heliogravure prints of some of his most well-known pieces\,” said archivist Joanna Chopp\, who is curating the display. Many of the pieces shown at the Heritage Center were created when Gallen-Kallela lived in the United States in the early 1920s. \nVisitors are welcome to view these and other exhibits inside the Finnish American Heritage Center Monday through Friday\, 8am-4:30pm. Next week\, special Juhannus celebrations will have the building open for demonstrations and music on Saturday\, June 20 from 10am-2pm and again for a community dance from 7pm-10pm. For more information\, call 906-370-3722 or visit www.finlandiaartgallery.com.
