New exhibit highlights everyday experiences, reflections

ANN ARBOR, Mich. – On Nov. 16, the “Reflections: An Ordinary Day” exhibition at the University of Michigan Museum of Art will explore the interweaving of day-to-day occurrences and art.

Composed of drawings, sculptures and prints from mid-century to contemporary Inuit artists, the exhibit shows the reflections of artists on their daily lives in the Arctic region combined with imaginative interpretations.

The exhibit reveals the poetic and connections between communities, artists, social experiences and their frozen surroundings while bringing focus to a landscape not often explored.

The exhibit will run until May 10, 2020.
