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. As part of its “Fiber Without Borders” exhibition, the Glen Arbor Arts Center will host a screening of the 2016 documentary Yarn, and audience talk-back discussion on September 19, 7 pm at the Empire Township Hall, 10088 W. Front St., Empire. Yarn is presented in collaboration with the Glen Lake Community Library.
The traditional crafts of crochet and knitting have become one of the hottest movements in modern art. Yarn looks at the new ways an old craft is transformed in the hands of several international practitioners. 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

Yarn Bomb Installation Day
2019-09-15 09:30 | Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor, MI, 49636
Sunday, September 15 | 9:30 am
Yarn bombs are set to drop on the Glen Arbor Arts Center on Sunday, September 15, 9:30 am. Volunteers are needed to help install hand-knit “bombs” on trees in the GAAC’s backyard grove as part of the upcoming exhibition “Fiber Without Borders,” a juried exhibition of contemporary fiber art. Yarn bombing is friendly community event, and a form of temporary street art. Yarn in any form (knit, crochet, latch hook, cross stitch, amigurumi or simple wrapping) adorns an object [e.g. tree trunk or limbs, poles, waste can] in the public environment. While other forms of graffiti may be decorative, socio-political commentary, or vandalism, yarn bombing was initially almost exclusively about reclaiming and personalizing sterile or cold public places. The start of this movement has been attributed to Houston resident Magda Sayeg, who says she first got the idea in 2005 when she covered the door handle of her boutique with a custom-made cozy.
Volunteers of any age are invited to help with the yarn bomb installation. To volunteer, call the GAAC, 231/334-6112. “Fiber Without Borders” runs September 13 – November 7. For more information go to
GlenArborArt.org. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor.

Glen Arbor Arts Center [GAAC] September 13 – November 7, 2019. Come celebrate Fiber Without Borders, a juried exhibition of 2D and 3D work exploring fiber materials in fresh, original ways. A reception to launch the exhibition is Friday, September 13, 6-8 pm at the Glen Arbor Arts Center, 6031 S. Lake Street, Glen Arbor.
A revolution in the use of fiber materials – from wool, to paper, to plastic, to fruit skins — as the basis for art making began in the 1960s and has continued unabated to the present time. Fiber Without Borders exhibits contemporary work that:
 Acknowledges fiber’s functional roots and contexts, but does not stop there.
 Examines contemporary social issues.
 Finds innovative uses of fiber materials.
 Moves beyond the expected applications and/or re-examines the conventional ways in which we understand fiber to discover new contexts.
Fiber Without Borders continues through November 7. For more information go to GlenArborArt.org

Mary has said of her work, “My work is created from single-use, post-consumer plastic bags and packaging. You know, the stuff your groceries, carrots and diapers come in. For this show, I’m working thematically with the ideas of chaos and calm. It’s reflective of what’s currently happening in the world. We are confronted with chaos in our leadership everyday and search for calm as an antidote. I’m using the simple shapes of lines and circles to reflect these ideas and how they can reflect both chaos and calm. I’m working with these themes in series of flower imagery, color-scapes, waterscapes and landscapes. It is imagery created using non-traditional materials, which would have ordinarily ended up in a landfill or possibly recycled. It emerged as my own personal response to the disgusting amount of plastic that streams through our lives on a daily basis, and how our mindless consumption of it needs more awareness. My process often starts with a goal in mind, but because the material is relatively unpredictable, I usually end up allowing the material dictate as we go. There is a whole of less frustration that way and process is funner. What may have started out as a landscape, could very well end up at stems for flowers. The process is very fluid and I’m not necessarily always leading the way.”
