DWELLING: A CONVERSATON ABOUT LIVING WELL
2026-01-18 13:00 - 14:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
How can we live better, and dwell more thoroughly in our homes? Two Northern
Michigan interior designers explore that question on January 18, 1 pm at the Glen Arbor
Arts Center. This conversation takes place as part of the GAAC’s INteriors exhibition. It
is facilitated by GAAC Gallery Manager Sarah Bearup-Neal. The program is free.
Gretchen Knoblock, design director of the Traverse City firm New Leaf Interiors, and
Karen Van Nort, a home stager and designer located in Leelanau County, will reflect on
the ways they’ve helped clients make their interiors livable and congenial. What
essential design elements ground homeowners in their personal space? And, what does
it mean to bring the outside indoors?
In the event of inclement weather, Dwelling: A Conversation About Living Well will
take place February 8, 1 pm. INteriors, an exhibition about real and imagined inner
spaces, runs Janurary 9 – March 12 in the GAAC’s Main Gallery. Read more about the
exhibition and view images of the artwork at GlenArborArt.org / EXHIBITS.
