Land and Water: New Paintings by Margo Burian
2015-07-24 11:00 - 2015-07-30 16:00 | Center Gallery at Lake Street Studios
Paintings of Leelanau County’s land and water – as processed through the imagination of Grand Rapids artist Margo Burian – are on display next at Center Gallery, 6023 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. A public reception opens the show July 24, 6 p.m.

Burian’s lush, atmospheric oil paintings of the region are not, she says, a strict record of natural features and landmarks. “I have taken liberties with place and nature to move the painting from an accounting or laundry list to an interpretation,” Burian said. Water – and its “ability to change at a moment’s notice” – plays an important role in her painting, which begin as field sketches, then developed in her studio.

This show continues through July 30. For more information, please call 231/334-3179.

Glen Lake Home Tour
2015-07-23 10:00 - 16:00 | Glen Arbor, MI, Glen Arbor
The Friends of the Glen Lake Community Library host their biennial Home Tour on Thursday July 23rd from 10 am to 4 pm.
As one of the Friends’ primary fundraisers, the event showcases five distinctive and diverse Glen Lake area homes.
The range of homes in this year’s event is striking, yet each offers design savvy, expressed differently, through the appreciation of art and color as well as the love of nature, most often seen in lovely landscapes and exquisite gardens. Whether it is the authentic, yet updated, historic 18th century farmhouse or a newly-built Arts & Crafts home, a contemporary design element skillfully blended with
English antiques, a “knock-out” view of Alligator Hill or a pastoral view of apple orchards, an elevator or 12’ Endless Pool, there is something for everyone in this collection of stunning homes.
Tickets for the Home Tour are $15 each and are available at the Empire Library and the Cottage Book Shop as well as Northwoods Hardware in Glen Arbor.
