The 109 Cultural Exchange, in Saline, has announced a call for entries for solo and small group exhibitions in 2022. The call adds seven exhibitions to the 2022 calendar, in addition to already scheduled shows by artists with Salt Valley Arts, community exhibitions (like the holiday banner event, pictured), and other scheduled performance events.
Individuals—or groups of up to four artists—residing and studying in Washtenaw County (as well as Milan, Clinton, and Whitmore Lake), and 18 years of age or older, are eligible to submit two dimensional work for consideration.
The call is juried by artist, writer, and curator John Anderson. Formerly a resident of Washington, DC, his arts writing has been published by Washington City Paper, The Washington Post, Art in America, and Sculpture. His recent curatorial projects have included “Yuri Schwebler: The Spiritual Plane” at the American University Museum, Washington, DC and “Jennie Lea Knight: Women of Jefferson Place Gallery,” at Marymount University, Arlington, VA.
Founded in 2019, the 109 Cultural Exchange is a mixed-use space, which has provided homes to Saline Main Street, Salt Valley Arts, and The Saline Historical Society; hosted open mic nights, poetry slams, and art exhibitions from artists in the community; and has served as a special project meeting space for the Saline District Library, Saline Art and Culture, and other organizations.
“We’re always looking for ways to create opportunities for artists and creatives,” said Holli Andrews, executive director for Saline Main Street and founder of The 109 Cultural Exchange. “Art energizes the community and helps with the constant revitalization of downtown”

Half a million for the “Gathering place” and now the Davenport House? Where is the city coming up with all this money when we still have ongoing problems (WWTP, Rec center, dam etc.). Wonder how much the duct tape solutions have cost the taxpayers?
Lawn care , downed trees and maintenance might be expensive. I see the Great Outdoors company there often mowing. We will have to account for that

This is outstanding news for the Saline Community!
Best burger goes to Droptop pizza. No doubt about it . Dan’s is not what it used to be and the food is not award worthy. Need some new judges.
It's a voting thing, not a judging thing.
Dan's burger has never treated me wrong. And I like the DropTop burger too.I would never put down someone else's burger, though. I might say someone else has a better one.
Like, I like the Jet's Pizza. But to me, that's a DropTop prize.
These awards are voted by the PEOPLE...not a committee of judges. The people of Saline and Saline area voted for these businesses. I have never had a bad meal at Dan's Downtown Tavern and if something wasn't right I know that it would be corrected. Plus I have had Drop Tops pizza and I found it to be quite good.
