DETAILS:
A beautiful and picturesque historic farmstead with a farmhouse and several outbuildings, Thoreson Farm was chosen as the ideal subject for this year’s fair poster to honor the recently passed descendent Leonard Thoreson. Leonard was a legend himself, who grew up on this farm in Port Oneida, now part of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. The facts and folklore he provided will forever be told as part of the history of this area through books and archives.
Artists may arrive at any time to create their pieces. An informal meet and greet with light refreshments will take place at 9:30 a.m. for those interested. Artists should bring their own art supplies, easels, and chairs. Pre-registration is not required and there is no fee for the event or to submit.

Photographer Robert Beras is an urban dream catcher. On May 29 he’ll discuss the rural and woodland dreams he captured with his camera during his May artist’s residency with the Glen Arbor Arts Center. The program begins at 10. Beras will share work and stories. The program is open to the public at no charge.
“My goal for this artist residency is to gather images for my Dream Series, expanding beyond Detroit’s urban and industrial landscapes,” said the Lathrup Village, Michigan, resident. “I aim to explore new environments that push the series in fresh directions. The residency will also provide dedicated time to develop my minimalist work, focusing on in-camera techniques — strong composition, exposure, and a heightened awareness of light and shadow — without reliance on digital manipulation.”
The GAAC has been hosting visiting artmakers as part of its residency program since the 1990s. For more information about the GAAC’s AIR Program go to GlenArborArt.org / ARTISTS.
