Historic Property Owners Opportunity to Apply for Michigan Historic Marker Designation: When visitors, community members and groups visit a historic place they can connect to their heritage which provides a sense of belonging and being a part of a culturally rich network. A meeting is being held to reach out, connect, encourage and support interested private owners and groups to work on getting their significant historic sites recognized and appreciated for their stories and contributions to local history in the five-county Traverse City area.
A presentation on the eligibility and process of applying for a Michigan Historic Marker is being offered by Heather Lehman, Graduate Assistant at the Michigan History Center, who is responsible for the administration of these beautiful metal markers. This free public meeting is provided for private and public owners of Michigan historic structures, sites and places who are interested in finding out how to apply for and achieve a historic designation. Meeting will be held Friday, November 1 st at 1 pm, at Traverse City Area Public Library, McGuire Room, 610 Woodmere Ave., Traverse City.
This program is being co-sponsored by the Leelanau County Historic Preservation Society, Leelanau Historical Society and Benzie Area Historical Society to inform and assist. Structures, places and sites that are eligible for a Michigan Historic Marker receive this metal historical marker describing its history and contribution to the local area and to Michigan as a whole. The process can seem daunting, but information and support makes it less so. Join us to find out the process.

Fiber: Visual Art Survey Program
2019-10-06 14:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
The Glen Arbor Arts Center takes a short look back, and a long look forward, at contemporary fiber and textile arts on Sunday, October 6, 2 pm. This visual survey is part of the GAAC’s exhibition Fiber Without Borders, and is presented without charge. Sarah Bearup-Neal, GAAC gallery manager and studio fiber artist, will facilitate the program.
In the late 1960s the Museum of Modern Art broke new ground with Wall Hangings, the first major museum exhibition focused on the work of 28 artist working in fiber and textile materials. In the subsequent decades, the fiber arts have taken a great leap forward to become one of the most expressive, versatile media in the contemporary art world. No longer viewed in purely functional and domestic terms, the fiber arts have continued to push definitions, materials and techniques in the last 60 years.
The medium easily crosses old boundaries – moving from the home front to comment and reflect on social changes, politics, feminist issues, as well as the dividing line between art and craft. Fiber Without Borders continues through November 7. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. For more information, go to GlenArborArt.org

Talk About Art: The Craft of Artisan Clothing
2019-09-29 14:00 - 15:00 | MI
Sunday, September 29 | 2 pm
Before big box retailers and the omnipresence of factory-manufactured clothing, people made clothes by hand. Two local artisans have taken up the mantle of slow fashion, and are creating garments and hats one piece at a time. They’ll talk about their studio work and show their wares at the September 29 Talk About Art interview, 2 pm at the Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.
Keira Duvernoy, a newly retired physician, has practiced millinery for the last decade under the moniker Mon Chapeau. She has studied traditional millinery techniques with hatters from California to Ireland. In addition to a line of more fashion-forward toppers, Duvernoy creates upcycled cold weather hats – a natural outgrowth of her full-time residency in Benzie County. She exhibits her work throughout Michigan and in the Berkshires.
Meg Staley is a colorist, printmaker, textile artist, and clothing designer living in Maple City. After a mini-career as a Nordstrom buyer, she moved to New York City and started a company representing small, bohemian fashion designers, Soho Showroom. Soon after, she started making one-of-a-kind clothing with her husband, Jerry Gretzinger. Their collaboration, Staley/Gretzinger, spanned 25 years, was featured in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and Elle magazines, and sold to Bloomingdales, Bergdorf Goodman and many other stores and galleries across the country. Staley’s current practice focuses on garments that employ dying, printing, applique, and patchwork techniques.
This studio-clothing edition of Talk About Art is offered without charge, and in conjunction with “Fiber Without Borders,” a juried exhibition, that runs September 13 – November 7 at the GAAC. For more information go to GlenArborArt.org, or call 231/334-6112

Documentary Screening: YARN
2019-09-19 19:00 | Empire Township Hall, 10088 W. Front Street, Empire, MI , Empire, MI, 49630, United States
Knitting and crocheting, long dismissed as home hobby and granny-craft, are at the forefront of the current revolution in fiber arts.

The film’s journey begins in Iceland and moves around the globe to sample the sometimes quirky, always thought-provoking approaches to these needle arts.
Yarn is offered without charge. “Fiber Without Borders,” a juried exhibition, runs September 13 – November 7 at the GAAC, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. For more information go to GlenArborArt.org, or
