Artist-in-Residence Talk: Roy Kropp

Photography – a “serious hobby” for retired marine ecologist Roy Kropp – is the tool he’ll use to explore northern Michigan’s fall colors during his Sept. 28-Oct. 11artist-residency with the Glen Arbor Art Association (GAAA). Kropp talks about his two-week work-study Oct. 9, 7:30 p.m., Glen Arbor Art Association, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.

“Fall in the Northwest appears very different from that in the East/Midwest,” said Kropp, a resident of Sequim, Washington. The GAAA residency allowed Kropp to develop a photographic portfolio of Midwestern fall colors and patterns; and to explore the cross section between photographic art and scientific exploration.

The GAAA’s Artist-In-Residence program provides artists with two-week residencies. At the end of their stay, artists present work and talk about their experiences during this period of uninterrupted study. The presentations are open to the public without charge.
