MEET THE ARTISTS RECEPTION in

Alberta House for this month’s

Emerging Artists Exhibit. is Fri-

day, November 21, from 6 to 9

p.m. and includes voting for the

People’s Choice Award and re-

freshments. All are welcome.

The purpose of this multi-media exhi-

bition, curated by Shena Sloboda, was

to bring new artists into Alberta House

and to bring their work to the atten-

tion of the public. New artists are of-

ten shy about showing their work and

once they decide to do so, find that

there not many venues for them. With

this exhibition they have a chance to

show; the public has a chance to see,

and to cast a vote for the “People’s

Choice Award at the reception on Fri-

day, November 21st.

When this newsletter

went to press the call to

artists had just gone out,

so it was too early to de-

scribe much of the work

to be exhibited, but two

of the artists had already

checked in. One was

Kaale Sayenga, a senior

at Cros-Lex High School

in Croswell, Michigan.

His oil painting, is titled,

"Tempest".

The other was Analicia

Sabra, a local multi-

media artist who is

bringing both sculptures and drawings, part of a repertoire that contains a

variety of forms and mediums. Her colorful clay sculptures are detailed min-

iature tableaus—her patience

must be monumental. Buildings

are furnished—not just shells;

one needs to look inside. A draw-

ing of a dove in flight is rendered

in pencil. A meditating lion-

ess/human sculpture sits, eyes

closed, in the lotus position.

The reception on November 21, will intro-

duce the artists and give the public an

opportunity to vote to decide the winner

of the $150 Joan Muckelbauer Memorial

Award and of other awards as well.

The public is warmly invited to attend

the reception on Friday, November 21,

from 6 to 9 p.m. and to vote for the People’s Choice award winner. Balloting

will close at 7:30 p.m. when the ballots will be counted, after which the win-

ners will be announced. Appetizers and beverages for the reception have

been donated by local merchants, including Karl’s Cuisine, the Palace and (Continued on page 6)

The St. Ignace Public Library

hosts this traveling exhibit docu-

menting legendary folklorist Alan

Lomax's trip to Michigan 75 years

ago. Michigan in the 1930s was

experiencing a golden age of folk-

song collecting, as local folklorists

mined the trove of ballads re-

membered by aging lumbermen

and the Great Lakes schooner-

men. In addition to the ballads of

the north woods singers, Lomax

recorded a vibrant mix of ethnic

music from Detroit to the western

U.P. This exhibit documents Lo-

max's travel and its lasting im-

pact on our lives today. For more

information, call the library at

906.643.8318 or visit its website.

This exhibit's travel is coordinat-

ed by the Michigan State Univer-

sity Museum.

OUR TOWN

LSSU’s Theater Department is pre-

senting Thornton Wilder’s classic “Our

Town” October 7 through 9, in

the university’s Arts Center. The

play, which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1938, is set in Grover’s Corners,

a small New Hampshire town, in the early 1900’s. Narrated by a

stage manager and performed with minimal props and sets, it examines

the meaning of life by following the Webb and Gibbs families as their

children fall in love, marry, and eventually—in one of the most famous

scenes in American theatre—die. It’s three acts are titled “Daily Life,"

"Love and Marriage," and "Death and Eternity." The production re-

quires almost nothing in the way of sets, but a good deal of both ac-

tors and audience. The actors must create a believable moment with

no curtain and no scenery; the audience must be able to visualize

the surroundings.

Over thirty students were cast during auditions week at LSSU and even

more students will be working backstage to make this classic come to

life. Ticket prices for Our Town are: $7 for adults and $5 for stu-

dents and seniors. The performance begins at 7:30 p.m. Friday and
