Cultural Reflections: Inuit Art from the Collections of the Dennos Museum Center

This exhibition is drawn from the extensive collection of Inuit art held by Dennos Museum Center of Northwestern Michigan College. Approximately 20 stone sculptures and 30 prints by artists of the Canadian Arctic are featured. The works reflect the traditional culture of the Inuit people, including sections related to nomadic life, survival, arctic wildlife, and the spirit world. The exhibition requires about 150 running feet of wall space and secured cases for the sculpture, but can be adapted to fit various sized gallery spaces and available cases. The exhibition comes with interpretive text panels, labels, and brochures. Teacher education packets, docent training, and curatorial lectures are also available.

Joseph Domjan: Master of the Woodcut

This exhibition features 18 color and black and white woodcuts, and two wood blocks by Joseph Domjan from the Dennos Museum Center's collection. Domjan's inspiration comes from the folklore of his native Hungary and his love of nature. His woodcuts feature intricate design, subtle color and deep rich texture. Domjan's many honors include the Kossuth Prize, the highest art award of his native Hungary; and the title "Master of the Color Woodcut," awarded once every 100 years in China. The exhibition comes with labels and interpretive text.
