Domaci
Gallery is proud to present the work of two accomplished
maritime artists, panoramic photographer Doug Bevill
and painter Steve Witucki. This Featured Artist Event
is part of a week long series of commemorative events
honoring the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Carl
D. Bradley.
On the evening of November 18, 1958, the
Carl D. Bradley went down in a brutal Lake Michigan storm – but
what sets this tragedy apart is that the only two survivors
and 23 of the 33 who perished came from one small northeast
Michigan community; where so many faced unimaginable
grief literally overnight. The harsh numbers reflect
the tragedy: 22 widows, 52 children fatherless. Virtually
every person in Presque Isle County was affected. The
crew of the Carl D. Bradley is remembered during this
special anniversary week in November 2008. For more
information on the Carl D. Bradley www.carldbradley.org
Also
part of the Bradley Commemorative Week “November
Requiem” a documentary film by Bon Ami Films
will premier at the Rogers City Theatre on Tuesday,
November 18th at 8:00 pm. The film will continue
to be featured at the Rogers City Theatre through
Saturday, November 22.
The film will also be aired nationally on PBS.

Hammond Bay Art Studio opened the doors of its latest
endeavor, Domaci Gallery, on November 23rd, 2006. The gallery
features the work of several contemporary artists and artisans
as well as the work of owners Tim and Mary Pritchard. Many
of the artists represented in the gallery are local Michigan
artists, but also included are artists from as far away as
Oberdorla, Germany.
Throughout the year the gallery hosts Featured Artist events
where the artist is celebrated at an opening reception and
the public is able to meet the creator of works on display.
Live music is a new addition to the gallery. Once a month
on Sundays, musicians perform for those who come to enjoy
an intimate acoustic concert. It is the goal of the gallery
to continue adding events that inspire and experimenting
with new ideas.
Many wonder where the gallery got its name. Domaci means
home in Slovakian, the heritage of owner Mary Pritchard who
was born and raised in Rogers City where the gallery is located. |
