This exhibition invited artists from around the country to explore the connection between literature and the visual arts. Each artist was given the challenge to select a fiction or nonfiction book that moves them and create works in any medium that visually interpret or respond to its pages. Books spark imagination, stir emotion, and transport us to new worlds—artists bring those worlds to life! Juried by Katie Rothley, Marketing & Public Relations Librarian at the Northville District Library, this exhibition celebrates the magic of storytelling and the creative journeys it inspires.

Detroit Dance Collective (DDC) is a professional contemporary dance company celebrating 46 years of creating powerful choreography that heightens human expression. As Detroit’s longest-running professional dance company, DDC believes in the expressive power of dance as a transformative force that reflects significant social issues and human expression. DDC’s legacy and life-affirming work voices the personal thoughts and feelings of our artists and our community. Through performances and community programs, they explore the intellectual, emotional, and physical dimensions of dance to create Art that Matters.
DDC was formed in 1980 by Sue Ellen Dar, Paula Kramer, Barbara Selinger, and Anita Surma, four women graduates who earned degrees in dance and dance education from Wayne State University. Over the years, DDC performed and taught in numerous schools and communities, and produced concerts in theaters, schools, museums, galleries, and alternative spaces throughout Michigan and beyond. The company continues to explore, discover, and bring communities together to share the arts as a vital element of the human condition.

Step into a powerful new exhibition celebrating the fearless women of the Greek Revolution.
#WeAreGreekWarriors brings the heroines of 1821 into today’s cultural conversation through bold contemporary art and modern storytelling. Fighters, strategists, and champions of freedom, these extraordinary women helped shape history, yet many of their names remain unknown.
Now, their stories come to life at the Hellenic Museum of Michigan in a groundbreaking exhibition featuring original campaign prints alongside stunning works by acclaimed contemporary artist Ramona Pintea. Reclaiming history through a fresh, fearless lens, the exhibit honors and highlights the women of the Greek Revolution while speaking directly to the women of today. Through dynamic programming, cultural events, and interactive experiences, it connects the strength of 1821 to the leadership, voices, and impact of women now.
Women of all backgrounds and generations are invited to experience this inspiring tribute and rediscover their own warrior spirit.
