- Description:
- This collection contains ten chronological scrapbooks about a Lansing area arts group, covering the years 1952 to 2002. An historical essay by Mrs. Gideon (Helen) Phillips dated September, 1969, explains that during the Depression era, the Lansing Board of Education wasn't able to make adult education available. A man named Tryg Narvesson started something called "The People's University," and through this art classes were held for the community, mostly taught by Mrs. Phillips. Eventually the Board of Education made adult education available again, and after a number of years of success, Mrs. Phillips' current and former students formed the Lansing Art Club. It led to the formal establishment of the Arts and Crafts Society in 1951. The full essay is pasted in to the scrapbook volume dated 1969-1974. In 1959 the society was reincorporated as the Lansing Art Guild, and then in 1997 it became the Mid-Michigan Art Guild. The Guild is still in existence as of 2016. For most of the organization's existence, a fall membership show and a spring show open to all area artists have been held. The guild has hosted visiting and local speakers at its regular meetings, and has produced exhibits in many locations around the area, especially at the Lansing Public Library, over the years. Most of the scrapbooks contain newspaper clippings, pasted-in photographs, and other pasted-in memorabilia. Some of the photographs are the original prints that were published along with Lansing State Journal articles about the Art Guild's events. Due to the fragility of these materials, especially the pre-1980s scrapbooks, they will not be digitized in their entirety. Please contact library staff for more information.
