Holland Museum: Art and Propaganda in Nazi-Occupied Holland
The Holland Museum will reveal its newest temporary exhibition, Art and Propaganda in Nazi-Occupied Holland, to the public on Friday, April 4. As part of a traveling exhibit from the Anne Frank Center USA, Dutch resistance art and propaganda will be on display as well as pieces from the Holland Museum’s archive collection. Art and Propaganda will remain at the museum until October 4, 2014. Extended museum hours have been put in place to ensure everyone has the chance to view the powerful display of Dutch history during World War II.
The images represented in the exhibition evoke the horror of German concentration camps, as well as the hardship and suffering endured by Hollanders during World War II. Pieces also display the blatant propaganda of the Nazi Party, which encouraged the Dutch population to support the heroic struggle of the German Wehrmacht against the dark forces of Bolshevism. Posters created by the Dutch government and Allied forces will be available for viewing. The Holland Museum is currently the only cultural facility in the United States showcasing the exhibit.
This is a time in history, we are meant to remember, never forget and always commemorate.

FUN FACT FRIDAY: It’s only fitting for us to own a building where a trailblazing female operated her businesses in 1906. The Phillips family represented one of the longest-running retail tenures in Grand Rapids history; L.E. Phillips Jewelry in the 1365 Plainfield Ave. building from 1906 until 1973.
Dr. Eva Phillips, a certified and licensed optometrist ran her practice out of the jewelry store’s secondary parlor and was an equal partner in the jewelry store.

Together, they offered a unique one-stop shot which expanded to include appliances, record players, and more. The couple operated the shop through two World Wars and the Great Depression, acting as the neighborhood matriarch and patriarch.

National Perimenopause Month starts today. We have a LOT to say, and we’re not going to be quiet about it, especially this month, so buckle up.

We were not prepared for perimenopause, much like our periods, sex, or anything else to do with our bodies. God forbid we talk about it openly.

We were taught to be ashamed, keep quiet, and to accept that it is just part of being a woman. We reject that narrative. In fact, like @bodespeaks, we want to bring it up in every conversation.

When we normalize perimenopause and the conversation around it, we stop isolating, and we’re all more prepared.
Join us for Uncomfortable Conversations: The Pause on September 24th — a powerful conversation hosted alongside the @smallbusinessassocofmichigan
Women’s Business Council, featuring some kicka$$ experts who will give you the real talk on perimenopause (more to come on them later).
