The 2019 graduating class of the College for Creative Studies (CCS) Fine Arts Department is pleased to announce the opening of I Make My Biggest Moves, curated by Bridget Finn. This group exhibition includes works by Alli Stinson, Allie Runyan, Annika Maschke, Anthony Brazeau, Hai Mya Lazar, Jessica Harvey, Jon Phillips, Leslie Frisch, and Naomi Bush.
The title of this show stems from a casual remark by celebrated Detroit-based poet, David Blair. Blair said to the Metro Times prior to his passing in 2011: "I make my biggest moves." He was speaking of a time in his life as a creative producer and an artist. Blair was talking about focus, rigor, and what happens when one creates freely from a place of flexibility, but with a determined vision. All nine of these artists started their creative journeys together in Detroit at the College for Creative Studies. With this exhibition, these artists are displaying work informed by a shared experience, as well as the artistic practices that emphasize each of their individual creative processes. |
FLAME EFFECTS FOR THE ARTIST WORKSHOP - DETROIT, MI 2019This is a workshop for all artists, mechanical enthusiasts, and anyone who wishes to incorporate fire aspects into their projects! This is your chance to learn how to comply with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards, hear from others working with flame effects where you live, and have fun while learning safe practices.
Leading this weekend will be Dave X, Fire Safety Manager for Burning Man for more than 10 years, and Eric Smith, Director of Education and Code Development for the State of Nevada Board for the Regulation of LP Gas and owner of Poofer Supply. |

Mementos are curious things. Literally defined as 'an object or item that serves to remind one of a person, past event, etc.' or 'anything serving as a reminder or warning.' On one hand completely mundane, on the other hand possessing the power to elicit emotions via an intimacy with our past. Things have a way of fixing themselves to our memory, a way of assuming meaning far greater than that which another may see as mere trinket or trash.
In this body of work, the process of fusing animal fiber around mementos is a collaboration between the object, the wool, my hand and the vivid happenings of my life that somehow live within them. The act is slow and deliberate, a meditation that is equal parts commemoration and liberation, a performance and ritual metamorphosis of memory.

ETHEREALMichael O’Reilly is a writer and artist from the Metro Detroit area. He earned his MFA in poetry from the University of Utah. His work with brass wire began as a simple lampshade created almost by accident. He has since pushed the physical properties of brass wire in many directions, from abstract sculpture and custom designs, to a complete line of lighting and home decor products.

Anne Mondro received her BFA at College for Creative Studies in Detroit, and completed her MFA at Kent State University before moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan, to pursue a career as an artist and professor at University of Michigan.

Integrating traditional craft, fine art, and digital technology, she creates images and sculptures that investigate humanity. Learn more about Anne’s work at www.annemondro.com |

With spring being the time for rebirth "The Sacred Feminine" explores the beauty of the woman. The Greek Goddess of the month of May is Persephone, who is the Goddess of the springtime. The rebirth of the earth every year coincides with the birthing quality of the woman. The woman bares many weights and still she persists, she conquers, and she does so with beauty, strength and grace. The same beauty, strength and grace I see in the spring when the flowers and plants bloom from the earth. Celebrate the rebirth of the Sacred Feminine with us.
