'Lakeshore Light' Art Exhibit by Stan Myers
OCT 24, 2025 - FEB 7, 2026
Free Art Reception / THU, NOV 20, 2025 / 5:30 - 7:30 PM
Located in the Auditorium Lobby
Featuring over twenty landscape paintings that quiet our soul, seek truth, beauty, and love in nature. Myers transcendent landscapes focus on transitions of light dancing across the atmosphere that seamlessly melt into the lakeshore. Myers artwork focuses on both coastal and agrarian settings in northern and western Michigan while gaining inspiration by traveling abroad. Myers’ states: When painting, it is like a mental dance. It starts with the heart which inspires the entire object. Then there is an analysis of what evokes the impression. The dance occurs when my thoughts move from seeing objects abstractly by how the light reveals them to looking at them for what they are as objects to assessing the impression it gives in my heart.
'A Journey from Afar' Art Exhibit by Boisali Biswas
DEC 6, 2025 - FEB 22, 2026
Free Art Reception / FRI, DEC 19, 2025 / 5:30 - 7 PM
Located in the Little Theater Lobby
Embark on a journey of nostalgia with textile artist Boisali Biswas as she reflects on growing up in India and traveling the world. Biswas’ education incorporated an integrated approach with a love of nature and Indian culture, and seeks to bring awareness from protecting the planet to the rich cultural experiences of marginalized communities. Her work combines weaving, dyeing, and painting, often exploring themes of identity, culture, and environmental connections. Exhibited nationally and internationally, her art bridges narratives of memory and transformation. Biswas states: Art is like an odyssey for me through the passage of time-honored techniques, traditions, and influences. I contemplate how cultures and countries are bound together by the warp and weft of civilization, how we were wrapped in cloth ever since our inception! My journey of working with fibers continues to weave those cultures together in a multifaceted way.
