SUMMARY:August Artist of the Month Opening Reception - Annie Shaffer
DESCRIPTION:August 2026 Artist of the Month: Annie Shaffer \nExhibit Title: The Ground Between Us \n\nBorn and raised in Michigan\, Annie draws inspiration from its lakes\, forests\, and open skies. Now dividing her time between Ann Arbor and Honolulu\, her practice reflects the contrast of grounded Midwestern landscapes and the luminous energy of the islands. The result is work that is meditative\, transformative\, and visually immersive. \nAnnie’s paintings invite viewers into a contemplative dialogue with both the internal and external worlds\, capturing the essence of landscape rather than its literal form. Her work has been exhibited in galleries and is held in private collections nationwide\, appealing to collectors who seek art that is both visually compelling and spiritually evocative. \nAnnie’s paintings are not meant to simply be seen\, but to be felt. They are portals; abstract landscapes where inner and outer worlds meet\, inviting you to slow down\, breathe\, and connect with something greater than yourself. \nArtist Statement \n\nMy work explores the space between what is seen and felt. \nI seek to capture moments through abstract forms\, layered color\, texture\, and symbolic imagery. I am drawn to the mysteries that connect us through something larger than ourselves. Dreams\, spirits\, the stars\, and Mother Earth all serve as inspiration in my creative process. \nPainting is an act of exploration and discovery; I am interested in the questions that do not have clear answers. My work is not meant to provide certainty but to create space for contemplation\, imagination\, and personal meaning. \nIt is an invitation to stand at the edge of the unknown and embrace the beauty\, mystery\, and possibility found there. \nWebsite: annieshafferart.com

SUMMARY:Live Music Night - Adam Labeaux
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an intimate evening of original live music featuring multi-genre singer-songwriter Adam Labeaux! \nWith equal parts ‘the sounds of today’ and ‘the classic sounds of the 70’s & 80’s pop\,’\nLabeaux has a strong new release on his hands—John Bommarito \nCrazy Wisdom’s performance space offers a cozy\, intimate vibe for this special night. \nThere is no cover charge\, though artist tips and room donations are appreciated. \nAdam Labeaux \nWith more than three decades devoted to his craft\, Adam Labeaux has established an\nindelible legacy within the Michigan music scene. His music is deeply rooted in folk\,\nclassic rock\, funk\, pop\, and soul. “I’ve always gravitated towards balladeers and\nmelody\,” he says. “I’d rather hear somebody sing something sweet.” \nLabeaux himself has an astonishing range and a voice as quick-tongued as it is rich\nwith feeling. By turns playful and plaintive\, triumphant and mournful\, evocative and\nmercurial\, sensual and restrained\, Labeaux’s songs are full of melodic surprises. At\nevery moment\, he resists cliché\, striving towards a relentless but upbeat authenticity in\nsongs full of longing and hope. \nWebsite: adamlabeaux.com

SUMMARY:July Artists of the Month Opening Reception & Gallery Talk - Garin Horner & Christine Reising
DESCRIPTION:5:30-7:00 PM– Opening Reception \nExhibit Title: Two Tarot Visions: Art of Garin Horner & Christine Reising \nAn exhibition of two Tarot card collections\, created in two different processes\, photography and printmaking. \nAbout The Wonder Workers: A Major Arcana Tarot Series \nWonder workers are people who perform miracles or astonishing acts. The Wonder Worker major arcana Tarot cards contain portraits of people who fall into these categories. The cards started as monotype prints that were created on a soft plate with acrylic paints. Each print started with an inkjet transfer using imagery related to the person and concept of the Tarot card. Conceptually\, this series was initiated by the discovery of the French mystic and healer Nizier Anthelme Philippe. I found him\, or perhaps he found me\, while researching a trip to Provence. I discovered that his grave was located in the Loyasse Cemetery in Lyon\, first on my itinerary. Cemeteries are a vital part of travel for me as they are the repositories of the history and culture of a location. After arriving at a series focusing on mystics\, I was then inspired to seek out others from France and eventually broadened my search to include additional countries and periods. \nOf course\, Maitre Philippe became my Magician. \nAbout the Crowley & Waite Victorian Tarot Deck \nIn many ways The Crowley-Waite Victorian Tarot deck is unique among the vast assortment of tarot card decks. Though the deck’s imagery is modeled after the enduring Rider-Waite-Colman-Smith deck\, the pictures on the cards are photorealistic. Some of the photos\, like the Hanged Man\, have also been reimagined to expand their metaphorical and symbolic meanings. The design concept for the card’s imagery is based on vintage cabinet cards\, Victorian era photographs widely produced across the U.S. and Europe. \nThe pictures are a fusion of real vintage cabinet card portraits\, late 19th-century landscape photos\, and the photographic art and design of Garin Horner.  Photoshop is used to stitch the composites together. Note: all sourced photographs are in the public domain and copyright-free. \nIn addition\, the deck features historical figures\, including the namesakes of this deck: the famed occultist Aleister Crowley and the scholarly mystic Arthur Edward Waite. Among the portraits in the major and minor arcana\, Horner highlighted many mystics and occultists\, both real and fabled. Doing so\, he fabricated remarkable photo-realistic imagery that stirs the imagination and awakens a reader’s intuition. \n7:00-8:00 PM – Gallery Talk: The Art of Making Tarot Cards\nThe Art of Making Tarot Cards brings together two distinct artistic voices. Join photographer Garin Horner and printmaker Chris Reising for a rare\, behind-the-scenes look at how tarot decks are conceived\, built\, and brought to life. Come and learn how the artists reimagined tarot traditions through a contemporary lens. From the initial concept to the finished cards\, they’ll unpack the visual decisions\, symbolic frameworks\, and creative risks that shape a working deck. \nThis talk is also a practical guide for creators. Whether you are newly interested in tarot or are an experienced reader\, this conversation is meant to help you visualize what your own deck would look like. Horner and Reising will share real-world methods\, workflows\, and lessons learned from making their own decks. They’ll offer concrete strategies you can use to begin (or refine) your own tarot project. If you’ve ever wondered how to translate ideas into images or turn a personal vision into a cohesive system of symbols\, this talk will give you both direction and inspiration to take the next step.\n\n\nGarin Horner\nGarin Horner is an artist\, author\, and full professor of Art at Adrian College in Adrian\, Michigan. He has been an award-winning photographer for over 30 years. Horner’s work has been exhibited worldwide and is included in the collections of several art museums across the United States. Horner is an authority on pedagogy in photography higher education and has authored three influential books on teaching and learning photography. He is a long-standing member of the Royal Photographic Society in England and the Society for Photographic Education in the U.S. \nChristine Reising\nChristine Reising is a multi-disciplinary artist who has been exhibiting for more than forty years throughout the Midwest and Canada. Her varied art practice includes printmaking\, collage and book arts. She has constructed and designed over 30 of her own books and has collaborated with other artists and writers on theirs. In addition\, for many years Christine created costumes and sets for Ann Arbor theater companies that transitioned into her installation artworks often incorporating books and viewer participation. She received her Master of Fine Arts degree in Printmaking from the University of Windsor in 1980. Professor Emerita Reising taught at Siena Heights University from 1984 until her retirement in 2014. Additional positions that she held during her tenure included Department Chair\, Gallery Director\, and European Study Program Director. \n\nWebsites –\nHorner: heliographispress.com & photoalchemybook.com\nReising: christinereising.weebly.com

SUMMARY:June Artist of the Month Opening Reception - Eric Rentschler
DESCRIPTION:June 2026 Artist of the Month: Eric Rentschler \nExhibit Title: Guardians of the Threshold \n\nEric Rentschler (Dreamwalker Arts) is a Michigan-based multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of sacred symbolism\, mythic archetypes\, and dimensional wood carving. Blending CNC-carved relief\, hand-finishing\, electroformed metalwork\, and ritual aesthetics\, his work explores the threshold between ancient devotion and contemporary embodiment. \nDrawing inspiration from Egyptian and Norse mythology\, animal guardians\, and archetypal forms\, Eric creates pieces that function not merely as decoration but as modern relics.. objects intended to live in meditation spaces\, altars\, and contemplative environments. \nHis practice bridges digital precision with hand refinement\, allowing technology to serve as a tool for sculptural storytelling. Each piece is designed to hold presence.. textured\, dimensional\, and intentional. \nIn addition to gallery work\, Eric exhibits at regional art fairs\, festivals and creates commissioned symbolic works for private collectors. His current focus is building cohesive mythic series that explore the relationship between image\, ritual\, and psychological archetype.

SUMMARY:May Artist of the Month Opening Reception - Mary Lou Wiegand
DESCRIPTION:Crazy Wisdom Art Gallery | May 2026 Artist of the Month – Mary Lou Wiegand \nExhibition Title: Some Wisdom\, Some Fun \nAn artist since early childhood\, Mary Lou Wiegand recalls her first act of creation as a toddler “painting” with her mother’s lipstick on the walls—an early sign of a lifelong instinct for color and form. With constant companions in coloring books and crayons\, and later a formative drawing kit\, she developed an intuitive grasp of anatomy\, foreshortening\, and facial structure. Though encouraged briefly in high school after recognition from an արվեստ program\, she was steered away from pursuing art professionally and spent many years placing it second. Only in the past five to six years has she fully embraced sharing her work\, stepping into exhibitions with both excitement and vulnerability. A member of several art organizations\, including the Brighton Art Guild\, Michigan Watercolor Society\, and Michigan Plein Air Painters\, she continues to refine her practice through weekly study and decades of classes with accomplished artists. \nHer creative process is immersive and meditative—often accompanied by music such as Debussy’s Clair de lune—where she enters a focused\, almost “Zen” state that dissolves time and physical awareness. Working primarily in watercolor and oils\, she is drawn to the luminosity of glazes\, the shifting moods of light\, and the expressive power of color\, proudly identifying herself as a “colorist.” Inspiration comes from both the natural world and human moments: plein air landscapes\, fleeting interactions\, personal memories\, and imagination all find their way into her work. Over a lifetime of creating—now spanning more than seven decades—she has illustrated five children’s books\, painted a large-scale mural\, and exhibited in juried shows such as Tamarack\, “The Best of West Virginia Art.” Her art reflects a deep commitment to beauty\, observation\, and meaning\, with a continuing desire to explore\, express\, and share while time allows.

In current times\, David’s performances mostly consist of his own material\, but occasionally stray into cover songs that might not sound immediately recognizable until the chorus. \nHaving survived the COVID years by equipping and learning to use a home recording studio\, David has now released eleven albums including two ‘professionally’ recorded\, one in Memphis\, Tennessee and one in Alamosa\, Colorado. One of his albums\, “The Official Record’ was awarded Album of the Year at the Southwest Indie Artist Awards and the song ‘Small Dark Bar’ received Best Rock Song off of that same album. \nDavid is a multi-instrumentalist and loves to spend hours on end in the studio refining and crafting his odd power pop/rock/folk music into quirky and layered three minute exposés. Sometimes straightforward\, sometimes obscure\, his lyrics make an audience ponder how in the heck his brain works. \nLee Kitzman \nLee Kitzman has been performing live since an early age. A product of the Detroit Public school system Music program. Settling into a Folk\, roots Music genre in the early 60’s. A songwriter/ recording artist\, you can find him at\nleekitzman.bandcamp.com. \nLee Kitzman started his musical journey at age 8. Trumpet was the first challenge.
