Special Programs
Summer 2013


"Inspired by the Masters "
The exhibit was created by the Aussome Study Group and 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 named "Stars Over Les Cheneaux", and was pieced and hand quilted by the Les Cheneaux Quilters Guild.

The 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 Michigan Council of the Arts and Cultural Affairs for their support for the Artist of the Week, Music at the Maritime and the Speaker Series.

Both programs are well attended and appreciated by the community.

Thank You!.
