Steve Culver

In this episode, AADL Talks To Steve Culver. Steve first visited Ann Arbor in his early 20s, and soon began his publishing career in Ann Arbor at the Ann Arbor News. In 1990, he released the first issue of his LGBTQ-focused publication Ten Percent, which later became the Michigan Tribune and finally Out Post. Steve reflects on 34 ½ years of covering Ann Arbor & Southeast Michigan’s queer community, how his publication has changed over the years, and broader changes in Ann Arbor’s social scene.

Polan drew pictures of his sisters clothes on Martinizing receipts and put them up at University of Michigan's Work gallery at 306 State St. He called the show "Clothed" - a play on words because the gallery was closed for two weeks. He held his opening on the sidewalk outside and people had to look at the work through the windows.

Polan used a sketch to create a dramatically larger version of the ants on the side of the Maynard Street parking structure. He previously used the lobby of another parking structure for another mural.
