Many Hands Together is collaborative community art project sponsored, in part, by the Leland Community Cultural Center. The project brings together people of all ages and artistic abilities to paint tiles. The completed tiles will then be installed at the Leland Township Fire Department’s two firehouses in Leland and Lake Leelanau.

The painting portion of the project will take place over 3 days, offering three convenient locations for people to COME AND PAINT A TILE.  This fun, easy and quick activity encourages families, groups of friends, or just anyone passing by to participate.  EVERYONE is welcome—NO experience necessary.

Donations are appreciated.  Suggested donation: $3 per person / $5 per family

The goal of this inaugural art project, Many Hands Together, is to honor the emergency responders who serve our community. Their motto is to protect life, property, and the environment through preparation, prevention and response. Our objective is to illustrate their mission with art created by the community. We will brighten the stations in Lake Leelanau and Leland by making two colorful, tile murals which will depict scenes that the firefighters serve and protect, as well as objects that are representative of, and used for fire safety and rescue.  The murals will feature individual, hand-painted tiles designed and painted by each participant.  This process emphasizes and highlights how our uniqueness as individuals contributes to the community as a whole when we work together.

A special Thanks to Sally Meese and Amy Radford who spearheaded this project.  They and several other volunteers have organized this community project, with an end result that will be admired, shared, and treasured for many years to come.  It is our hope that Many Hands Together will become an annual event with many hands participating for the community as a whole.

Navajo Code Talkers: In Their Own Words ~ September 7 @ 7 pm

$

0

The Leelanau Community Cultural Center will present thelogo documentary film Navajo Code Talkers:  In Their Own Words on Thursday September 7 at 7 pm at the Old Art Building in Leland. The documentary follows the return of six Navajo Code Talkers to the Pacific islands of World War II, where their never-broken battlefield code based on the Navajo language helped turn the tide of battle against the Japanese armies. The Director, Northern Michigan resident, Dr. George A. Colburn, will offer brief remarks about the film and answer questions after. Admission is free, but a suggested donation of $5 is appreciated.

Told from the perspectives of these surviving Native American war heroes who returned in 2005 and 2006 to former battlefields of the bloody and brutal Pacific Theater, this one-hour documentary provides viewers with highly personal insights regarding their services on behalf of the United States.

Their observations on the secret code created in their language for the U.S. Marine Corps by young Navajo recruits in 1942 – and on their lives before and after the war – were recorded on location with HDTV cameras. The interviews took place on Guam, Saipan, Tinian, Iwo Jima and Okinawa, at USMC Camp Pendleton, California, where they trained and learned the code and on the lands of the Navajo Nation in the American Southwest.

Northern Michigan resident Dr. George A. Colburn, a historian and director of operations of Starbright Media, was in charge of the overall production of the film. Colburn holds a doctorate in history from Michigan State University, where he has served as a visiting professor in the history department and in the department of American thought and language. He has also been an adjunct professor of journalism at Illinois State University and the University of California, San Diego and an adjunct professor of history at Gettysburg College where he taught courses on film and history.

This presentation is sponsored by the Leelanau Community Cultural Center, Edmund F and Virginia B Ball Foundation, Michigan Council for Arts and Culture, and the National Endowment for the Arts.
