Flyover Country: DIY Music Flyer Art Exhibit

Flyover Country brings together physical reproductions of ephemera and other media from the underground and independent music scenes of the lower Great Lakes region, spanning from the early 1980s to today.
In an era when both paper ephemera and digital creations are increasingly fragile and often fleeting, this exhibit invites viewers to encounter materials not only as sources of information, but as rare, expressive artwork shaped by the people, places, and moments that produced them.
The exhibit documents how youth in rural and suburban Midwestern communities have used the tools available to them to build connection, resilience, and creative identity, particularly among artists and musicians from marginalized or underrepresented groups.
You're invited to take part in drop-in art events to create your own collage-based artwork. Art supplies, as well as some light refreshments, will be provided during the drop-in events. All take place in the Shapiro Gallery:
Jan 26: Exhibit Open House, 4-6 pm
Jan 28: Make Your Own Flyer Art Drop-in Event, 4-6 pm
Feb 4: Make Your Own Flyer Art Drop-in Event, 4-6 pm
The exhibit and events are sponsored by U-M Library and the U-M Arts Initiative.
