Jo Serrapere & John Devine at the Grove Stage, Ann Arbor Summer Festival “I Will”
Musical performance Ann Arbor Summer Festival
Jo Serrapere (sarah-pear), a songwriter from the Detroit area, started playing guitar at 23 when seeking out lessons from Delta Blues guitarist, Shari Kane. Shortly thereafter, Jo began writing her own songs while completing her college studies in clinical psychology. She is currently on tour, performing at music venues throughout the United States.
Whether recreating old songs from the Mississippi Delta or performing songs in her own confessional style, Jo's music stands original while always reflecting her love of American roots music. Her eclectic writing and performance fuses elements of various modern and traditional folk music, old-time and electric blues styles, roots rock, garage surf, swing, hot jazz and alt-country.
John Devine’s background includes everything from rock’n roll to classical, having studied classical guitar in Master classes at the prestigious Miami School of Music. His strongest influence, however, comes from the early blues sounds of the Race records of the 1920's and 1930's, and the likes of Mississippi John Hurt and Tampa Red.

Chico MacMurtrie Border Crossers at Michigan [part 3]
During winter semester 2018, students across the University of Michigan campus — from LSA, Engineering, Art & Design, and Information — worked with visiting artist Chico MacMurtrie planning, building, and launching a 40-foot robotic sculpture that poetically explored the notion of borders and boundary conditions.
MacMurtrie’s artist residency and interdisciplinary project, Border Crossers, led by the Institute for the Humanities, encouraged the investigation of borders as constructed entities, both embodying a simple curiosity to see what lies on the other side of a border (national, architectural, environmental, etc.) and expression of a utopian desire to live in a world without borders.
The installation runs February 16 - March 23, 2018 at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities gallery at 202 S. Thayer, Ann Arbor, MI. For more information:

Cinematography & Audio: Donald Harrison (
Editing: David Camlin
Featuring: Nick Dowgwillo (U-M 2D Media Studio Coordinator); Chico MacMurtrie (Amorphic Robot Works & artist-in-residence); Amanda Krugliak U-M (Institute for the Humanities)

The Institute for the Humanities is a center for innovative, collaborative study in the humanities and arts. Each year we provide fellowships for Michigan faculty, graduate students, and visiting scholars who work on interdisciplinary projects. We also offer a wide array of public and scholarly events, including weekly brown bag talks, public lectures, conferences, art exhibits, and performances.
Our mission is to serve as a national and international centerpiece for scholarly research in the humanities and creative work in the arts at the University of Michigan. We exist to deepen synergies between the humanities, the arts and other regions of the university, to carry forward the heritage of the humanities, and to bring the voices of the humanities to public life.
Mayesh Design Star: Ceremony Arch
#MayeshDesignStar #floraldesign #weddingflowers
Featuring Japanese flowers from Naniwa, Kaylee designs a beautiful floral arch. The structure is created using a lovely arch from Danner & Soli, which she attached foam cages using zip ties before placing the flowers into place. Archways are perfect for setting the tone of a truly romantic wedding ceremony and this design surely accomplishes that in spades!
Featured flowers: spirea, ranunculus, butterfly ranunculus, acacia foliage, eucalyptus, and roses.
For more details & pictures:
Host: Kaylee Young, Flourish by Kay
Japanese Flowers: Naniwa Flower Auction
Videography: Logan Martin, Talewind Visuals
Photographer: Maria Lamb Photography
Arch: Danner & Soli
Here are the products/quantities used -- aka, the flower recipe:
8 bunch acacia foliage
40 stems spray rose
70 stems spirea
3 bunches eucalyptus
20 stems sweet pea
10 stems tulips
10 stem cappuccino roses
50 stem quicksand roses
2 bunches (40 stems) Japanese Ranunculus
This is how much product it took to cover the front half of the arch, so if Kaylee was creating this same arch for a wedding, she would use double the amount of product to make sure that it was completely covered all the way around.
Also, this arch took Kaylee 3 hours to make by herself. However, if she was designing a similar arch for a wedding, she would have people helping, and would expect to get it done in under 2 hours.
