Coffee with the Authors: An Artist's Pilgrimage
2024-09-29 13:00 - 14:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
Frankfort painter Ellie Harold traveled to Paris in 2022, a pilgrimage to view an exhibition of paintings by Impressionist Claude Monet and Abstract Expressionist Joan Mitchell. The souvenirs from that trip weren’t T-shirts and tote bags, but questions, including: What does it mean to be a “real” artist? Harold explores that question in the resulting book, Monet, Mitchell & Me: A Painter’s Pilgrimage. She talks about how she answered that question at the September 29 Coffee With The Authors conversation, 1 pm at the Glen Arbor Arts Center.
Harold’s book is a meditation on her struggles with creative block, about practice, process, and why she’d rather make work than look at it in a museum. Monet, Mitchell & Me is the story of Harold’s journey into the valley of art historical giants, and the side trips into the interior of her own, artistic country.
Coffee With The Authors is a series of conversational interviews with local and regional authors about the craft and process of writing. This program is offered as part of the GAAC’s Shrines + Altars, an exhibition that explores what we hold sacred: To whom are we building shrines? At what altars are we worshipping? The program is free. For more information go to GlenArborArt.org /EVENTS.

From The Accidentals:
“Every year we throw a hometown show at Fountain Point Resort and we bring up bands from all over that we’ve played with and loved and want to introduce to our FAM in NoMI.

This year we moved the FAMgrove Festival to French Valley Vineyard in Cedar. They have a beautiful old barn that has been refurbished and a huge field for a big tent. This years music lineup is bonkers fun.
We’ve got our friends from The Rebel Eves coming up from Nashville, Seattle, and Kzoo! We just played strings on their new song called “Shake The Ground” and we’re excited for y’all to get to know them.
Not sure y’all remember when we took Political Lizard on tour for a summer? We’ll Caleb formed a new group called Low Phase and they just blew up Nashville at the show i went to.
Coming up from Grand Rapids – can’t wait to hear them again.
ONE HOT ROBOT is a total dance party. The lead singer, Mallory Ramage, is next level good. The songs are all favorites and you will be transported back to the best time of your life or just have the best time of your life listening to these guys.
A to Z – These Interlochen Arts singer/songwriters have been playing throughout the region for a couple years and they just keep getting better. We add them to our shows anytime they are free – love Zinnia and Audrey.
Luke Woltanski is also a local favorite, all around great guy. If Elton John and James Taylor had a kid – it would be Luke.

We’ve got incredible food trucks coming
-Rafaels Indigenous Food Truck
-Taqueria Mosqueda Food Truck
-The Leelanau Lemonade Stand (Lemonade and Tea)

Cool art!
Silver, Slag and Stone Jewelry
