Calumet Art Center: Exhibits, pottery, raffle, more ...
This month members of the Calumet Art Center, 57055 Fifth Street, are exhibiting seven inspired paintings by accomplished artist Carole Gorgas (1938-2006). Gorgas, who spent some of her youth in Ahmeek, went on to become an internationally acclaimed artist. Eva Papineau-Anderson, Carole's daughter, will share stories of the landscapes and people which influenced her mother's evocative artistry. The paintings are on display upstairs in the Art Center Auditorium.
Master potter Ed Gray and intern Jacob Thill have untiringly turned the potter's wheel all summer; and -- with laughter, wisdom and lessons learned -- each of them has created an impressive collection of extraordinary pottery, which is available for sale in the gallery.
"It's been really nice working with Ed," Thill said. "This is the first time I've been working in Calumet."
Thill, who has been doing pottery for eight years, also exhibited 150 pieces of his work at the Eagle Harbor Art Fair in August.

Café Rosetta: Waters Collection of Model Birch Bark Canoes
The Waters Collection of model birch bark canoes are on display in Café Rosetta during the month of September. Bill Waters has crafted these canoes of local birch bark from fallen trees only. Bill, a retired NMU professor of Criminal Justice who lives in Marquette, has a passion for the birch tree and the role it has played in the history of the Great Lakes region, especially as a source of bark for Native American and Voyageur canoes. Bill started making his canoes last October when, while walking in the woods, he picked up a magnificent piece of bark and noticed for the first time the richly colored, flexible but durable characteristics of this natural material. Bill strives for an authentic look in his canoes.
The Waters Collection canoes have been and currently are featured in galleries in Michigan and Wisconsin and are on sale in shops across the U.P.
