SUMMARY:Emberlight Festival Art in the Park
DESCRIPTION:June 27 – August 22 \nMiners Memorial Heritage Park \n771 E Ayer St. Ironwood\, MI 49938 \n  \nFree event \n  \nSponsored by the Gogebic Community College Foundation\, in memory of Alex Marciniak. \n  \nFrom June 27 through August 22\, visitors are invited to wander the 1.2-mile Aurora Loop and discover large-scale installations nestled among towering pines\, winding trails\, and the rugged beauty of the Northwoods. Created by artists from across the region\, this year’s exhibition reflects Emberlight’s 2026 theme\, New Ways to Dream – exploring imagination\, transformation\, memory\, identity\, and the power of collective creativity. \n  \nAlongside this year’s juried installations\, Emberlight proudly unveils two major community-centered projects through Art For All. A new collaborative installation invites audiences themselves to become part of the artistic process\, while a second large-scale work – created in partnership with students from five regional schools – draws inspiration from Ojibwe doodems\, reflecting themes of kinship\, ancestry\, and connection to the natural world through the voices and creativity of the next generation. Supported through funding from the Michigan Arts and Culture Council\, the project places young artists at the heart of the festival in a powerful new way. \n  \nhttps://emberlight.org/event/art-in-the-park-2026/ \n

SUMMARY:Beaumier Center Highlights Mary Jayne Hallifax's Photography
DESCRIPTION:exhibition opens July 9 and will be on display through Oct. 3 \nThe Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center \nThe Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center at NMU will open a new exhibition July 9 that features the work of one of the U.P.’s most prolific photographers. It is titled “Munising in Black & White: The Photographs of Mary Jayne Hallifax.” She was an in-demand commercial photographer who also captured numerous candid images of her hometown over seven decades. \nHallifax died in 2025 at the age of 96 and donated many of her original negatives to photograph collector Jack Deo\, who is loaning 60 images to the Beaumier Center for the exhibit. They represent a tiny fragment of her catalog and focus specifically on the 1950s and 1960s\, depicting community events\, street scenes\, school activities and the lives of people in the community.  \nA lifelong Munising resident\, Mary Jayne (Shampine) Hallifax was a 1946 graduate of W.G. Mather High School. While working on the school’s yearbook\, she was asked by the school secretary to take\, help develop and print photographs\, and from that her lifelong love with photography began. \nAfter she graduated and started working\, Mary Jayne spent her nights taking photos and developing them. It became such a passion that she gave up her job at People’s State Bank to pursue photography full time. She soon became Munising’s most in demand commercial photographer\, especially for weddings and senior photos. However\, she also loved just wandering the streets of Munising taking candid photos of people and the general “goings-on” in the community. She even took photos for the Michigan State Police crime lab. \nIn 1948\, Mary Jayne married Richard Hallifax\, and the pair worked on photography together. He did much of the film developing and press work\, while she focused on making prints\, and her portraiture studio work with families\, wedding parties and graduating students. During her career with newspaper work and even into retirement\, she photographed seven Michigan governors on their trips to Munising: G. Mennen “Soapy” Williams\, John Swainson\, George Romney\, William Milliken\, James Blanchard\, John Engler and Rick Snyder.  \nUp until her 95th birthday\, she had a weekly column “All About Town with Mary Jayne” or “Down Memory Lane in Alger County” for the Marquette Mining Journal and years earlier for the Munising News. \nThe exhibition will be on display through Oct. 3 at the Beaumier Center’s gallery in 223 Harden Hall at NMU. The center’s summer hours are noon to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. It is free and open to the public.  \n

Meyland who coined the title\, “Art on the Rocks.” \nOver sixty years later\, the tradition of Art on the Rocks\, one of the oldest art fairs in the state\, continues with annual fairs held during the last full weekend each July. The event has become synonymous with the beautiful Upper Peninsula summer season\, and every year the Lake Superior Art Association looks forward to inviting over 100 artists from around the country\, representing a wide variety of artistic media\, to our beloved shore. \nFor more information about Art on the Rocks\, please visit www.marquetteartontherocks.com or contact marquetteartontherocks@gmail.com.
