I love these people. This is why I'm here at Michigan Tech. I'm honored to work in support of these amazingly talented people.

Michigan Tech is not only home to some of the world’s top researchers, but to world-class musicians as well.

This year, the Great Lakes Showcase will not be hosted by Michigan Technological University's Department of Visual and Performing Arts. While the GLS has had a long relationship with Michigan Tech, there are currently no plans for a GLS exhibit in the 2015/2016 arts season.

New in 2015/2016, the Rozsa Gallery has been re-imagined as "Project Learning Lab," an innovative classroom experience that gives Michigan Tech students the opportunity to explore art in a working studio environment, and then to display their work alongside professional artists in a variety of exhibitions. Students, faculty, and national artists will showcase their work throughout the year, and we hope our GLS community will embrace this new vision for the visual arts at Michigan Tech.

If you've been part of the Great Lakes Showcase, please consider entering Scale this summer. Deadline tomorrow June 1 (if you need agreed tea days contact [email protected]).

The Keweenaw Science and Engineering Festival seeks visual arts and technology participants!

When we scale something, we adjust our focal point, zoom in or out, and look at our subject in new and often unexpected ways. Important insights and revelations usually result from this change of perspective and altered mode of observation. Scale: Balancing Art and Technology will showcase visual and material creations that inspire new exchanges of ideas and unique viewpoints. Participants will be scientists, artists, and technicians who use any combination of images, technology, material objects, or artistic expression as part of their personal or professional inquiry and process of innovation. This exhibition seeks to celebrate the role that visual expression can play in sparking alternate perceptions and inspired conversations.

Please submit an entry form here by June 1: http://bit.ly/1GfQUn7

For more information please contact Elizabeth Hoy at [email protected] or Sarah Fayen Scarlett at [email protected].
