Amy Sacka is marking the end of ice fishing season in Michigan with a stunning new exhibit of her photos at the
Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle.
The exhibit “Last Ice” pulls photos from the past five years, which Sacka has spent documenting winter culture around all five of the Great Lakes. It was a project supported by a Knight Arts Challenge grant and inspired by her father, who has been ice fishing for decades. Before this new exhibition, Sacka’s work appeared in National Georgraphic twice.
