River Raisin Artists Exhibition

As a member of the Lenawee Council For The Visual Arts, we often get information from other organizations.


Today I received an email about the Blissfield area Artists who recently started an art league named, the River Raisin Artists. They are having their first group exhibit starting this weekend with a reception Friday evening.


Looks like a fun thing for local entertainment ! Take advantage of it!

Armory Arts Village

What a fun place. If you haven't been there yet, it is worth the trip to Jackson to see the Armory Arts Village.

I was heading home from a job and saw the sign and decided to stop. I had heard about this art community but was not able to find it.

There is a huge gallery and I was able to see the Aids Quilt while I was there. Next to the armory is another old building that has been renovated into artists galleries and studios. You can walk through and watch artists at work or purchase artwork from any of the galleries inside.

You can see the exhibit, take classes, and just mingle with other artists!

The village opened on May 1, 2008 and has hours (according to their postcard) of: Tues - Sat 10a-5p and Sun 12-4pm. Their web site is www.armoryartsvillage.com and phone is 517 998-3400.

If you get a chance to get, let me know what you think!

Wine Cellar Windows

Today I got a call from a restaurant in Monroe. I thought they would enjoy looking at these windows and others might like to as well.

This was a set of two windows for a wine cellar for a customer in Plymouth. They had a unique wood and iron door between the glass.

The glass was fabricated using melted glass wine bottles, glass layered for the grapes, and the vines have 3 dimensional leaves wrapped around them.

Enjoy!
