Creativity Q+A LIVE with Blacksmith Scott Lankton
2023-05-14 13:00 - 14:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
How do artists think, work, and practice? Those questions are explored during Creativity Q+A LIVE, a series of conversations with Northern Michigan artists at the Glen Arbor Arts Center. On May 14, 1 pm Leelanau County artist Scott Lankton talks about his practice with Sarah Bearup-Neal, GAAC gallery manager. The program is free. No reservations are required. Doors open at noon.
Blacksmith Scott Lankton was “hooked on hot steel” the first time he worked with it. He went on to find a vocation in the forge, pounding metal into domestic objects of great beauty. Lankton also found that this old art + craft form can be put to use in the pursuit of peace, and be a way of raising awareness about gun violence — as he raises the profile of his calling – blacksmithing — and how it is more than an historical craft form demonstrated in museum settings.
Creativity Q+A LIVE is an offshoot of the GAAC’s online feature, Creativity Q+A. Since 2020, the GAAC has published monthly, long-form interviews that dig into artists’ creative practices. Lankton’s conversation was published in October 2022. To read it, and all the Creativity Q+A interviews, go to GlenArborArt.org / ARTISTS. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.

51st Annual Glen Lake Woman's Club Art Fair
2023-07-19 10:00 - 16:00 | Glen Arbor Township Hall
2023 marks the 51st annual Glen Lake Woman’s Club Art Fair, a juried Art Fair with over 90 artists carefully selected to represent a wide variety of one-of-a-kind art pieces for sale at the Glen Arbor Township Hall. The Art Fair features artisans in many mediums including pottery, painting, textiles, woodworking, and jewelry. Each year, thousands of people shop for that unique piece of art, either for themselves or for a special gift. The event takes place at the Glen Arbor Township Hall from 10am to 4pm.
Meg DeJager, Art Fair co-chair states, “I am involved in the Glen Lake Woman’s Club Art Fair because of the high quality art provided by the juried vendors during such a fun day for the entire community. With free admission, the vendors offer a wide variety of styles and price points for every shopper.”
Ruthy Bolton, co-chair of the Art Fair, volunteers for this special event because the Art Fair provides scholarships for Glen Lake High School students as they continue their education at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City. DeJager also noted that vendor booth rentals, popcorn and bake sales, lunch, Club jewelry booth, and auction items all provide funds for the student scholarship fund.
The Art Fair is a popular event in the community, often making this the busiest day of the year in Glen Arbor. Many shoppers return to visit the booths of their favorite artists or to explore the artwork of new vendors. Dozens of Glen Lake Woman’s Club members, supported by family friends and members of the Empire Lions Club all volunteer to make sure the day runs smoothly for both vendors and community members.
Since 1980, the Glen Lake Woman’s Club has awarded $307,110 to 240 students with both 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year scholarships to Northwestern Michigan College. The scholarships are announced at the Glen Lake High School Honors Night in May.

By Hand Project
2024-03-29 - 2024-05-30 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
Human hands with their dexterous, opposable thumbs have allowed us to innovate, to use tools, to become nimble, skillful, creative, and artful makers. The Glen Arbor Arts Center By Hand project is a consideration of the myriad ways in which the human hand is intrinsic to creative work; and a demonstration of what human hands can make. The By Hand project runs March 29 – May 30, 2024, and offers a range of programs that explore this theme through the visual, performing, architectural, and literary arts.
In a time of machine dominance, there is case to be made that right now is the perfect moment to celebrate making-by-hand. The By Hand project challenges this techno-centric time with these programs:
• By Hand, the exhibition, March 29 – May 30
• Coffee With the Authors | The Letter League, April 6, 1 pm
• By Hand: Architecture, April 13, 1 pm
• By Hand: Making Music, April 20, 1 pm
• By Hand: Artificial Intelligence In The Arts, May 4, 1 pm

Coffee with the Authors: The Letter League
2024-04-06 13:00 - 14:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
Coffee With The Authors is a live, conversational interview with local and regional authors about the craft and process of writing. The 2024 series kicks off April 6, 1 am at the Glen Arbor Arts Center with Heather Spooner, owner of Ampersand Lettering Lab, an art and hand lettering business in Traverse City. Spooner will talk about The Letter League, an adult pen pal project she created to encourage writing letters by hand during the COVID pandemic. Sarah Bearup-Neal, GAAC gallery manager, leads the conversation.
The Letter League is the story of finding human connection during the pandemic. When Spooner launched the idea in April 2020, the response was immediate, and enthusiastic. In that time, Spooner has connected more than 550 letter writers from around the world with one another. The Letter League also caught the attention of Los Angeles filmmaker Michelle Boyaner of Greenie Films, and a documentary about “stories of connection in a disconnected time” was created. During Coffee With The Authors Spooner will talk about hand-written letters sent by the post office, and the documentary’s April 27, Traverse City premiere at the Dennos Museum Center.
This Coffee With The Authors interview is part of the GAAC’s By Hand project, an exploration of making and creating by hand in a time of machine dominance. The project runs March 29 – May 30. Read more about By Hand at GlenArborArt.org /EXHIBITS. Coffee With The Authors is supported by the Cottage Book Shop and the Glen Lake Community Library. It is offered without charge. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.
