Upcoming Hybrid Event at BPL- Guardians of Michigan
Hello Michlib-l, Please join us in person or on Zoom at 7:00 PM on Monday, April 24th for Guardians of Michigan. Historian and photographer Jeff Morrison is the author of two books, the multi-award-winning Guardians of Detroit: Architectural Sculpture in the Motor City and the just-released 2023 Michigan Notable Book Guardians of Michigan: Architectural Sculpture of the Pleasant Peninsulas. Jeff will present a sixty-minute program with more than 250 spectacular pictures of interesting architectural sculpture found on buildings throughout Michigan, from Ann Arbor to Ontonagon and all points in between, including Birmingham. You will learn about the symbolism behind the sculpture and hear some of the untold stories of the artists, artisans, and architects involved in the creation of these wonderful structures and the unique art that adorns them.
