Special Programs
Summer 2010
"The Art of Nature" Michigan Quilt Artist Invitational will be displayed throughout June, July and August. This very special display brings together the work of Michigan artists who are committed to using quilting as a form of visual expression. |
Canoe and Quilt raffle tickets are available throughout the summer season. You will find them at businesses around the community and at both museums.
The quilt is a sailboat design, it was pieced and hand quilted by the Les Cheneaux Quilters Guild.
The 17 foot wood canvas Penobscot canoe was built by Paul Wilson and his crew, Robert A. Smith (Lakeside Bob) and Mike Jellison. |
We would like to thank the Les Cheneaux Community Foundation for their support in our Artist of the Week series and Music at the Maritime.
Both programs are well attended and appreciated by the community.
Thank You!. |
