Talk about Art: The Lake Michigan Mermaid
2018-06-15 19:00 - 20:00 (America/Detroit) | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
Two Michigan poets have cast Lake Michigan as the setting for a new telling of an ancient struggle in the The Lake Michigan Mermaid. Poets Linda Nemec Foster of Grand Rapids, and Anne-Marie Oomen of Empire created an epic poem in book form about coming of age in a troubled world. They read from their 2018 work and talk about the process of collaboratively crafting this tale on Friday, June 15 at the Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. This author reading and interview begins at 7 pm.
Accompanied by Meridith Ridl’s illustrations, The Lake Michigan Mermaid explores family relationships and generational bonds. The book was crafted over a decade of back-and- forth emails between Foster and Oomen, of their drafts poems and ideas. GAAC Gallery Manager Sarah Bearup-Neal will talk with the poets about this process. The Lake Michigan Mermaid reading is offered at no charge as part of the GAAC’s exhibition “New Views: Water = Life = Art,” which continues through August 4 in the GAAC gallery.

Center Gallery | Exhibition and Sundown Reception
2018-06-29 18:00 - 19:00 | Center Gallery at Lake Street Studios
Painter Robert Ross likes “to paint ordinary, often overlooked scenes and subjects.” Ross takes viewers on a tour of these places and things in an exhibition of new work at
Center Gallery, 6023 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.
The show opens Friday, June 29 with a 6pm – sundown reception, and continues through Thursday, July 5.
Born and raised in Michigan, Ross now lives in Florida and makes annual visits to northern Michigan to renew his relationship with the local landscape. “My theme is the ongoing visual conversation between the abandoned farm buildings and surrounding fields, hills, trees and sky in the Port Oneida district of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore,” he said. “The classic shapes of these sentinels from the past are altered subtly by changing light and weather, giving them a sense of mystery and movement.” Ross works in oil paint, and combines plein air studies with studio work.

Margo Burian artist reception & exhibition
2018-07-06 18:00 - 19:00 | Center Gallery at Lake Street Studios
For her 11th consecutive solo show at Center Gallery in Glen Arbor, Maple City painter Margo Burian breaks with her tradition of landscape painting, and for the first time shows a group of mixed media abstracted paintings on panel. This exhibition of new works opens Friday, July 6 with a 6 p.m. reception.
Burian has traditionally worked in oil paint. In these new works, she explores water- based media including acrylic paint, graphite, collage, and image transfer. “The paintings are deeply layered and consist of multiple sessions in the studio,” she said. “They’re derived from a combination of observation, memory, sketch, and photo reference. Often times the original image becomes lost in the layering process until it becomes a separate image onto itself.”
Center Gallery’s show of work by Margo Burian continues through July 12.
Center Gallery is open daily 11 am – 5 pm. For more information go to www.lakestreetstudiosglenarbor.com, or call 231-334-3179

2018-07-19 11:00 - 12:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
Artists have been inspired by H2O since its first surprising visualization in the prehistoric African Sahara. Artist Hank Feeley springboards off of this history and into “The Art of Water in 28 ½ Minutes,” July 19, 11 am in the Glen Arbor Arts Center gallery, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. Cost of the presentation is $10 GAAC members and $15 non-members.
In a lively and fast-pace presentation, Feeley explores how artists have invoked the water muse as symbolic of such human concerns as life, immortality, purification/cleansing, passage/transport, revitalization/refreshment, destruction and, of course, beauty. This wide- ranging presentation will cover prehistoric visualizations of water, painting from Leonardo to today’s David Hockney, sculpture from Bernini to Jaume Plensa, installation art, water as a physical material, architecture, water inspired music and dance, digital art, poetry, performance art, and video and film.
Feeley is an author, painter, and sculptor whose second book Painting the Joy of Sleeping Bear County was published in 2016. He is a graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Harvard Business School. “The Art of Water in 28 ½ Minutes” is offered as part of the GAAC’s exhibition “New Views: Water = Life = Art,” which continues through August 4.

laundry line of clothes drying in the sun, the crows perched on the roof top. All the signs of farm life are there, even if the artist chooses to suggest their presence through other, subtle symbols.

Lake St., Glen Arbor. An artist’s reception to open the show is Friday, August 31, 6 pm – sundown in the gallery.
“While my work is based on specific places, I’m more concerned about the essence of the place than I am about being completely representational,” Deans said. “I am nearly always in wonder of the natural world around me. Its beauty and balance gives me peace. Many years ago I was much more interested in pop culture and the things that man has created to make living on this planet easier and to keep us entertained. But these accomplishments of man, which are many and are indeed astounding are ever changing, breaking or going out of style.”

Romancing the Heartland: American Regionalism
2018-10-17 12:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
The Glen Arbor Arts Center presents “Romancing the Heartland: American Regionalism,” a visual exploration of the work of the Regionalists, a uniquely American art movement that flourished in the years between the world wars. This brown bag art history presentation is Wednesday, October 17, noon at the GAAC, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. Linda Young,
Kalamazoo Institute of Arts Director of Museum Education [retired], leads this hour-long survey.

Not being part of a coordinated movement, Regional artists depicted and struck themes of rural conservation. Presented as part of the GAAC’s exhibition agriCULTURE: Barnyards and Farmscapes, Linda Young’s talk will highlight the work of Grant Wood, Thomas Hart Benton, John Steuart Curry and others.
Admission is $10 for GAAC members, $15 for nonmembers.

Committee, offers “A Radical Perspective of Art,” a Brown Bag art history presentation at 12 noon. This event is free and open to the public.
Sunday, November 11: What is an artist’s residency? A panel of working artists who have all enjoyed artists’ residencies — Margo Burian, Lori Feldpausch and Joan Richmond — talk about how an artist’s residency figures into a studio practice. Presented as part of the “Talk About Art” series. 2 pm in the GAAC gallery. No charge.
The Glen Arbor Arts Center spotlights its permanent collection of works by more than 40 artists who have enjoyed a two-week residency in the GAAC’s Artist-in-Residence [AIR] program. The exhibition runs November 9 – December 21 at the GAAC, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.
Artists who enjoy a residency in the AIR program often make a gift of work to the GAAC at the end of their stay. It is a practice that was initiated more than a decade ago, and has allowed the GAAC to build a permanent collection and a record of AIRs’ work. This program of artists’ residencies began in the 1990s at the initiation of the late Suzanne Wilson, one of the GAAC’s
founders. Wilson handpicked visual artists for the program, and found area friends to house them. Today, a committee of seven volunteers administer the program. The GAAC offers seven residencies each year from May to October. A selection of work by Suzanne Wilson will also be part of this exhibition.
For more information about these activities, go to GlenArborArt and click on EVENTS. In November and December, the GAAC is open Monday through Friday 9 am – 3:30 pm, and noon
– 4 pm on Sundays.
