Meetup: Ann Arbor Memorial Day Meetup?

EvaDestruction — Tue, 22 May 2012 03:23:47 GMT

Didn't feel like getting out of town? Looking for an excuse to skip out on a picnic/barbeque/party? Want to meet up on Memorial Day?

I'll be in Ann Arbor on Monday, visiting a non-MeFite friend who had a great time at the last Baltimore meetup, and we were hoping there might be some folks available to get together. EDIT: Confirmed for 6pm at Grizzly Peak.

Exhibition: Reception for Water Ways - exhibition at Kerrytown Concert House

Mefite Leslie Sobel (that's me) is having a show of new encaustic monotypes at Kerrytown Concert House The show will be up June-July and the opening reception is Thursday June 7 from 5-7pm. Hope you can join me!

The Kerrytown Concert House is an intimate music venue that also hosts art exhibitions. More about this exhibition at my blog. What's a monotype? It's a one of a kind print. I work in encaustic, a beeswax based paint which must be used hot so my monoprints are made on a heated surface. Shoot me a mefi-mail if you have questions about either the show or monotypes.

Meetup: Michigan Metafilter Meetup! Arbor Brewing Company! Not to Miss!

ulotrichous — Sat, 10 Sep 2011 02:20:25 GMT

It's been too long, Michigan! How about an early October Meetup in the Ann Arbor / Ypsi area on Sunday, 10/9? It just so happens that a certain Genuine Metafilter Moderator, who is known to appear at libraries, will be appearing at the Ann Arbor Library Sunday afternoon, and a Meetup afterwards would be a good time for all involved.

First come see Jessamyn in Behind the Scenes of Web Communities at 4:30 PM at AADL's Downtown Library, then join us starting at 6 PM at Arbor Brewing Company's Tap Room for drinking and eating and talking and stuff. Hope to see you there!

Exhibition: Communitree - community based public art

leslies — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 17:56:57 GMT

I've been commissioned by the Street Art Fair and AnnArbor.com to do a community based public art project. We're growing a tree out of recycled cables. How will this work and how can you be involved? The tree will be a sculpture using recycled and repurposed materials with community help in making it grow. I'm building an armature out of a repurposed lab stool and metal posts, old window sash weights and other found objects. The tree will be fleshed out using old computer, phone and electrical cables and that's where you come in. I need your old phone cords (coiled ones are great!), computer cables and the like. If you're like me you probably have a box of them somewhere. You can drop them off at the Art Fair Office at 721 E. Huron St., Suite 200, Ann Arbor, MI 48104 734-994-5260 (PH) or at AnnArbor.com at 301 E. Liberty St., First Floor. If you know me you can get in touch with me.

This project will start at the Townie Street Party on Monday July 18 from 5-9:30pm. I'll be there working and hope you'll come find me! During Art Fair the project will move to AnnArbor.com's patio at 301 E Liberty. I'll be there working Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from 1-4pm. Public participation is welcome! There will be a reception at AnnArbor.com on Friday at 7:00pm. The finished piece will be sold by silent auction, proceeds to benefit the Street Art Fair and the Milan Art Center. more info still on my blog
