Artist Reception: Meet the Cats
2019-05-10 18:00 - 20:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
In 2016 five Leelanau County painters followed in the historic footsteps of seven Canadian painters. The result is a visual record of “The Cats on the Prowl: A Superior Adventure.” An exhibition of paintings generated by that trip are on display at the Glen Arbor Arts Center May 10 – 26. A reception to meet their artists is Friday, May 10, 6 – 8pm.
The Cats — Leelanau painters Jane Ditri, Mary Fuscaldo, Candace Petersen, Sue Quinlan, and Barbara Reich — traveled to Wawa, Ontario three years ago to paint some of the same iconic landscapes made famous by the Group of Seven. The seven men, sometimes known as the Algonquin School, painted the rugged Canadian wilderness from 1920 to 1933, exploring through their painting the unique character of the Canadian landscape. During the course of the six day trip, the Leelanau painters traveled Lake Superior’s eastern shore, and revisited many of the sites made famous by the Group of Seven.
A conversation with The Cats about their adventure takes place Thursday, May 16, 11am. GAAC Gallery Manager Sarah Bearup-Neal talks to members of this quintet to go deeper into the trip about the reasons for the trip and what was learned during their Superior Adventure. This is a free event.
The GAAC is open Monday – Friday 9 am – 3 pm; and noon – 4 pm on Sunday when there is any exhibition.

Traverse City author Kathleen Stocking’s new book, From the Place of the Gathering Light — her second book of Leelanau County essays – is the topic of conversation at the next Talk About Art interview June 9, 2 pm at the Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.
Gathering Light is a collection of 20 essays written in the last decade, and in Stocking’s signature, conversational voice. She focuses on unexpected people and understated places that define Leelanau County. Stocking moved to Glen Arbor in 1952, at the age of 7 with her family, and claimed Leelanau County as her home base until 2017.
Stocking’s first book of essays, Letters from the Leelanau, was published in 1990, and became an instant best seller. Like Letters, Gathering Light showcases Stocking’s interest in off-the-beaten-path people and places that illuminate Leelanau’s history, and its physical and spiritual character. Other published books include Lake Country, and The Long Arc of the Universe – Travels Beyond the Pale. The Talk About Art program is free, and offered in conjunction with the GAAC’s exhibition “New Views: Home/Place.” For more information go to GlenArborArt.org, or call 231/334-6112

Gallery Talk: Bella and Zack Pryor "A Sign of the Times"
2019-06-10 08:00 - 17:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
An historic wind storm ripped through Leelanau County in early August 2015, leveling acres of woodland, forest, and residential structures. The broken remains of sheds, docks and other wood structures provided the raw materials for two young entrepreneurs to turn destruction into construction. Siblings Bella and Zack Pryor talk about the small business they created on July 21, 2 pm at the Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. This program is open to public at no charge.
Bella Pryor, 18 and a University of Michigan freshman, and her brother Zach, 15 established Michagain Signery in 2015. The duo salvaged storm-damaged wood and began creating iconic, decorative signs. They built a small business, the profits of which were directed back to the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Their new enterprise also gave them a constructive, creative, life-affirming way to work through their feelings of sadness about the storm and its
impact on their Glen Arbor home.
“A Sign of the Times” is offered in conjunction with the GAAC exhibition “New Views: Home/Place,” a deep look into home and place identity. It runs June 7 – August 8 in the GAAC gallery. For more information go to GlenArborArt.org

Talk: Home/Place, Affordable Housing
2019-06-11 10:30 - 11:30 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
How does a shortage of housing in Northwest Michigan take its toll on residents and businesses? That question is the focus of an hour-long panel discussion June 11, 10:30 am at the Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. This program is open to the public without charge.
The panel is composed of three housing advocates:
•Sarah Lucas, executive director of the newly-created Housing North, a Traverse City non-profit that supports stakeholders working to create housing in a 10-county area.
•Frank Clements, volunteer member of the Leelanau County Housing Action Committee.
•Chris Frey, volunteer development manager of Leelanau Reach. Creating homes for young families, workers and other low- to middle-income residents is a multilayered challenge. Communities must grapple with new zoning ordinances as well as work through negative perceptions that accompany terms such as “affordable housing.” The GAAC panel will also explore how affordable housing contributes to the character and diversity of a community.
This project is offered in conjunction with the GAAC’s exhibition “New Views: Home/Place,” an exploration of home and place identity. The exhibition is in the GAAC gallery from June 7 – August 8. For more information go to GlenArborArt.org
