Walk + Talk The Exhibits
2024-05-02 11:00 - 12:00 | MI, United States
A guided walk-and-talk through the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s new exhibit, In Translation, takes place September 2 and October 14, 11 am. Sarah Bearup-Neal, GAAC gallery manager, leads a conversational tour of the exhibit. In Translation explores how visual artists translate the human and natural worlds, current events, and contemporary social issues through their art work.
The Walk + Talk will also include conversation about The Side Of The Road, an exhibition of abstract landscapes by Alice Moss. These mixed media paintings are in the GAAC Lobby Gallery.
No one walks into a gallery and fully understands what the exhibiting artists intended to say with their work. During this one-hour program, Bearup-Neal will talk about both exhibits’ themes; shed light on artists’ statements; and explore how artists use materials to communicate meaning; or make an idea more dynamic. Visitors will leave with a fuller understanding, and appreciation of the exhibit.
A grant from the Michigan Humanities Council provides support for the In Translation project. The Walk + Talk is free. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. For more information go to GlenArborArt.org / EVENTS.

Music BY HAND

The Glen Arbor Arts Center celebrates human handwork in its By Hand project. On April 20, musicians Martha Meek and Laura Hood will talk about the value and joy of making music by hand. Meek is the director of the Martha Meek Music Studio in Suttons Bay. Hood teaches music, and chairs The Leelanau School art department. The program begins at 1 pm.
Contemporary music is often about consuming, rather than creating, and more often the result of digital enhancements and electronic additions. In this program Meek and Hood will talk about what happens in the brain when people make music, how playing an instrument – whether stringed, brass or produced with the vocal cords – enhances and enriches life. A group of Leelanau School music students will also take part in the discussion, and talk about their experience as hand music makers.
This By Hand program is free. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. The By Hand project runs March 29 – May 30, and is comprised of a series of visual art exhibitions and community conversations. The By Hand project enjoys the support of a Michigan Humanities Bridging Michigan grant. For more information go to GlenArborArt.org / EVENTS.

Architecture BY HAND
2024-04-13 13:00 - 14:00 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
In an age of machine dominance, the Glen Arbor Arts Center celebrates the human hand in its By Hand project. On April 13, Traverse City architect Ken Richmond, and Steve Stier, a Benzie County resident who is an expert in historic barn restoration, talk about the relevance of hand work in the creation of contemporary and historic architecture. The program begins at 1 pm.
When Richmond attended architecture school at Notre Dame University in the 1980s, he drafted all his structures with pencil and paper, a practice he continues today. Stier, a driving force behind the restoration of the Leelanau Poor Farm Barn, focuses on barns built in the period between 1840 and 1940. He has built a career restoring buildings designed and erected before modern technology and computer-assisted design. During the program, the conversation will touch on why both these people continue to work by hand, how the human hand enhances the creative process, and remains relevant and essential to human life.
This By Hand program is free. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. The By Hand project runs March 29 – May 30, and is comprised of a series of visual art exhibitions and community conversations. The By Hand project enjoys the support of a Michigan Humanities Bridging Michigan grant. For more information go to GlenArborArt.org / EVENTS.
