Thank You for Supporting Summer Magic 2012: Reaching for the Stars on Saturday, July 21, 2012 at 6:00 pm
Summer Magic 2012: Reaching for the Stars on Saturday, July 21, 2012 at 6:00 p.m. was a special, adults only, night on the grounds of Raven Hill. The weather was beautiful and everyone had a wonderful time! Nearly $16,000 was raised to support Raven Hill Discovery Center's ongoing programs and matching funds required by grant awards!
Entertainment was from 6:00 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. - Guests took a trolley ride to the Center's Ancient World to see the starting of the installation of new megaliths. Some attendees learned through the hands-on exhibits in the museum, met the animals, explored Beyond Jurassic Park, stopped in to see the one room school house, visited the off the grid energy house and the many other sites which make up Raven Hill Discovery Center, watched a hot glass bead demonstration, and enjoyed music by "Weaving the Wind".
The Silent Auction opened at 6:00 p.m. The regular silent auction offered a wonderful array of artistic creations, gift certificates and items to bid on. The special silent auction showcasesd the thematic "Reaching for the Stars" art.
Food was served at 7:00 p.m. Local restaurants provided the finger foods and they outdid themselves! Tea, coffee and wine were available.
The Program started at 9:00 p.m. Attendees learned the latest happenings at Raven Hill. Unfortunately artist, Martina Hahn, who speed paints a painting to music on a 5' X 5' canvas was ill. We missed seeing her, her entertainment and her artistry.
The proceeds from Summer Magic support ongoing programs at Raven Hill, which connect science, art and history, as well as required matching donations for grant awards.
Thank you to all the people who supported Summer Magic and Raven Hill: The guests, the artists and the businesses. Raven Hill couldn't provide the programs without you!

Blurred Boundaries Invitational: Phase 1
The Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs, in collaboration with the National Endowment for the Arts, has announced a 2012 award to Raven Hill Discovery Center for Blurred Boundaries: Ancient to Modern Megaliths. This is the twelfth consecutive grant awarded to Raven Hill by MCACA and is for $6,000 and must be matched with another $6,000 in cash or in-kind contributions. The grant will allow Raven Hill to expand its Ancient World area with five new megaliths. Megaliths (big rocks) are large stone sculptures or groupings of rocks originally placed for sacred celebrations or to honor something or someone.
Blurred Boundaries will create awareness of ancient cultures and their celebrations and interpretations of their world. It will bridge gaps between:
- Past & present
- Art & history
- Natural & manmade
- Decorative & purposeful.
It will be a celebration of our earth and our cultural history.
Two professional artists will create and install their modern interpretations of well-known ancient megaliths. The other three megaliths will be chosen from submitted miniliths created by students and community members. All five new megaliths will be created in large scale for permanent display in Raven Hill’s Ancient World.
Students and community members are invited to submit miniliths, which will be their modern interpretations of ancient megaliths. Raven Hill staff will be available in March for presentations to groups about this special project and the information will be available on the Raven Hill Web Site under “News”. Call 231.536.3369 for more information or questions or to book a presentation. Miniliths should be on a base and all items should be firmly attached to the base and to each other. Miniliths are due April 21, 2012. All submitted miniliths will be on display starting April 22nd at Raven Hill. A committee of experts will choose three miniliths to be “enlarged” and installed in the Ancient World exhibit in June. All five new exhibits will be unveiled at a grand opening September 16, 2012.
