9/24/13 - The life of a prominent Brighton artist will be celebrated on what would have been his 100th anniversary this weekend. Joe Mike first came to Brighton in the 1930âs as part of the Burroughâs Corporation, and became a prolific painter following his retirement in 1978. He is best known for his depictions of the historic courthouse in downtown Howell, but also painted landscapes, animals, and homesteads. His hundredth birthday would have been this Saturday, and to pay homage to Mike his family will be holding a special showing of his work at ArtVentures Gallery in Brighton. Mikeâs artwork will be on display, and the first hundred people to visit the exhibition will receive two free historical prints. The showing will take place between 10am and 3pm on Saturday.
