Lynn Chadwick: In Contact (Sculpture Exhibition) (Arts and Entertainment)
Location: Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
Lynn Chadwick (1914-2003) was one of several talented British sculptors who burst upon the international art scene in the late 1950s. He established a critically acclaimed body of work that continued to develop well into the late 20th century. Inspired by the career of Henry Moore, Chadwick’s sculpture displays a fascinating evolution of personal images through powerful series of abstracted human figures, animals, birds and imaginary beasts. This retrospective exhibition, the first in the United States since the artist’s death in 2003, features 43 sculptures and 5 lithographs from the permanent collection of the Phillip and Muriel Berman Museum of Art at Ursinus College. Beginning with the highly geometric and strongly linear figures and beasts of the 1950s, this exhibition follows the chronology of the master’s career through to the majestic and sensuous male and female forms of the 1980s.
Henry Moore: Master Printmaker (Arts and Entertainment)
Location: Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park
The Lillian Heidenberg Gift to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture ParkAlthough celebrated globally as one of the most influential sculptors of the 20th century, Henry Moore (1898 -1986) was also a master draftsman and printmaker. Although he first experimented with printmaking in the 1930s, it became a significant part of his repertoire beginning in the 1960s. This exhibition draws from a collection of 24 master prints recently presented to Meijer Gardens by Lillian Heidenberg, one of Mr. Moore’s primary gallerists. Moore explored many of his major sculptural themes in etchings and lithographs including seated and reclining figures, mother and child, and animals. This exhibition is the premier presentation of work from this important gift to Meijer Gardens.

Four-Day Program Available for Children Who Have Family Members Struggling With Addiction (Health)
The Brighton Children's Program is a four-day learning experience for children ages seven - 12. Within the program, participants will learn about the disease of addiction in age appropriate ways and meet other children who are in similar situations. Participants also learn self-care techniques and create a safety plan.The Children’s Program has several goals:· To teach children of alcoholics and addicts how to get help to survive dangerous behaviors, such as their parent's drunk driving or physical abuse.· To teach children that they are not alone, but in fact have peers who experience the same threats they endure.· To teach children that they can conquer the loneliness, isolation and fear that can lead to depression. · To give children normative examples so that they can find their own way as clean and sober adults, making wise choices later in life. · To show children what normal families do, so that they don't choose addicted spouses and friends simply because they know the patterns. · To help children understand that their parent or sibling's addiction is not their fault.“In today’s economy, most families do not have the money to allow their children to attend programs and seminars that help them deal with the effects of addiction in the family,” said Bertin-Epp. “The Brighton Hospital Children’s Program believes that no child should be left to deal with these issues on their own, and we’re able to fund the cost of each child’s participation because of strong philanthropy from friends, donors and organizations.” The Children’s Program’s next sessions will be held November 5-8 and December 3-6. Classes will be held at Brighton at the Corners (2075 Walnut Lake Road West Bloomfield, MI). Space is limited. For more information on the program or to register, call 248-406-4260.
