SUMMARY:Glen Lake Woman’s Club Art Fair
DESCRIPTION:The 53 rd annual Glen Lake Woman’s Club Art Fair will be held on July 16 th \, at the Glen Arbor Township Hall. The Art Fair features artists carefully selected to represent a wide variety of one-of-a-kind art pieces for sale 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. Some go to their favorite artists’ booths to add to a collection\, while others like to peruse vendors new to the Art Fair for a special purchase. \nThe Art Fair is a family-friendly event with a large selection of treasures available across a wide range of price points. Whether you’re looking for a beautiful homemade purse or jacket; an original painting of a favorite\, local scene; a stunning piece of new jewelry; or a unique pottery garlic keeper; you are sure to find it at one of the well-displayed booths\, both inside and outside the Township Hall. \nCo-chairs Ruthy Bolton and Meg DeJager begin coordinating the Art Fair Committees in January to make sure all runs smoothly for vendors and shoppers on Art Fair Day. You can find them scurrying throughout the Fair\, along with other Glen Lake Woman’s Club members in their bright yellow t-shirts throughout the day. They will also be hosting an information table right inside the Township Hall doors and can direct you to a specific booth. Bolton states\, “Even with all our hard work these 7 months\, we couldn’t pull off a successful Art Fair without the support of local businesses who donate advertisements and food or the media for getting the word out\, and the Empire Lion’s Club for assisting with vendor loading and unloading.” DeJager adds\, “The vendors really set the tone for the quality of the art at the Fair. \nCheck the Glen Lake Woman’s Club Art Fair Facebook page for information about how to become a vendor.” “BATA is pleased to partner with the Glen Lake Woman’s Club Art Fair to provide vendor transportation to and from the event location. Helping support Leelanau County groups\, organizations and events with transportation is a just one way BATA can provide added value to the communities we serve\,” stated Eric Lingaur\, Communications and Development Director for the Bay Area Transportation Authority. \nAll proceeds from the Art Fair support scholarships for Glen Lake Community School students. Since 1980\, The Glen Lake Woman’s Club has awarded $350\,000 to over 250 students attending Northwest Michigan College. Scholarships are also awarded for Blue Lake Music Camp and other critical student-needs through the school’s student assistance fund and the LIFT Middle School afterschool program. The scholarship recipients and Glen Lake High School Football players have a history of volunteering at the Art Fair with enthusiasm\, energy\, and willingness to assist where needed most. You will find them distributing coffee and donuts to vendors early in the morning\, serving in the kitchen\, setting up and taking down tables\, and assisting customers at the popular jewelry or bake sale tables. \nThe Glen Lake Woman’s Club\, a 501(c)(3) organization\, was established in 1937 with the goal of fostering social\, civic\, and educational projects. The charter members adopted as their slogan\, “If you wish to live in a better place\, better the place in which you live.” For more information about the Glen Lake Woman’s Club\, the Art Fair\, or our scholarship program\, visit the Glen Lake Woman’s Club Art Fair Facebook page or our web site at\nhttps://www.glenlakewomansclub.org. Information is also available on the Glen Arbor Chamber of Commerce website at https://www.visitglenarbor.com.

SUMMARY:HIStory / HERstory: Whose Story?
DESCRIPTION:PRESS RELEASE\nContact:\nScott Bouma\nExecutive Director\nGlen Arbor Arts Center\n231 334 6112\ndirector@glenarborart.org \nHIStory / HERstory: Whose Story? [August 15 – October 23\, 2025] \nThe Glen Arbor Arts Center takes on the question of history and voice in its next exhibition. HIStory/HERstory: Whose Story? is an exhibition that explores the idea that the victors have written history. This version of history has often been told from one perspective — while other histories have been ignored\, deleted\, denied\, left out of the official record. The exhibition opens August 15\, 5 pm with a reception in the GAAC Main Gallery. \nWhether it’s visual art\, literature\, film\, sports\, science\, politics\, education\, animal\, mineral\, real or imagined history\, this exhibition asks:  \n•	Who’s telling what stories?\n•	Who’s included in the official record?\n•	Who’s excluded? Omitted? Erased? \nTwenty-four exhibitors take on these questions\, and answer them with work about what’s included in the art historical canon; a fractured telling of Native American history; the voices inside a mom’s head; and other topics. Read more about the exhibit\, and exhibition companion programs. View it online at GlenArborArt.org / EXHIBITS. HIStory / HERstory runs through October 23.

SUMMARY:‘Not Accepted: An Historical Look At Art Exhibition Rejection’
DESCRIPTION:Rejection from juried exhibitions is baked into the cake for artists who want to show their work. “Not Accepted: A Conversation About Rejection\,” a slide lecture\, delves into the topic. The lecture takes place at the Glen Arbor Arts Center on September 7\, 11 am. Tickets are $5 for GAAC members\, $10 for nonmembers. Reservations are required.\n“Not Accepted” explores rejection through the lens of two\, historic examples: the Paris Salon of 1863\, and the Third Reich’s suppression and destruction of visual art it considered “degenerate.” The topic also touches upon other issues: Who determines what is acceptable art? Whose voice is heard? And\, whose voice is erased? GAAC Gallery Manager Sarah Bearup-Neal leads the discussion.\nThe lecture is offered as part of the GAAC’s exhibition HIStory / HERstory: Whose Story? The show is on display in the GAAC Main Gallery through October 23. To reserve a ticket or for more information about the exhibit\, go to: GlenArborArt.org /EXHIBITS.

SUMMARY:Exhibition Talk: HIStory/HERstory: Who's Story?
DESCRIPTION:Four visual artists exhibiting work in the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s HIStory / HERstory: Whose Story exhibition talk about the power of the visual arts to take on difficult subjects. This facilitated discussion is October 4\, 1 pm in the GAAC’s Main Gallery.  \nThe HIStory / HERstory exhibition critically examines the power of voice. It digs into the idea that the victors write history while other histories are ignored\, deleted\, denied\, left out of the official record. Artists Margo Burian\, Mary Fortuna\, Todd Lininger\, and Stephanie Schlatter approached these ideas from feminist\, judicial\, and mythologic avenues. The discussion\, facilitated by GAAC Gallery Manager Sarah Bearup-Neal\, will delve into how these artist use visual language to translate difficult subjects\, and the psychic and emotional benefits of being able to speak through one’s creative work. \nMore information about the HIStory/HERstory exhibition can be found online: GlenArborArt.org / EXHIBITS. The panel discussion is free and open to the public.
