Artist’s Interview: Inside The Outside
Inside The Outside is a new exhibition of work by Traverse City painter Justin Shull. This group of five digital paintings are on the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s Outdoor Gallery. Shull and Sarah Bearup-Neal, GAAC gallery manager, will discuss the work, the theme that connects each of the paintings in the installation, and Shull’s process for making them. The program is July 20, 11 am at the GAAC.
The paintings in this exhibition are digitally generated, and were created for the 6th edition of the GAAC’s Outdoor Gallery project, a year-long, invitational exhibition that turns the GAAC’s exterior walls into an outdoor exhibition space. Shull is no stranger to digital technology, and has integrated it into his painting practice. Shull will discuss how he balances high-tech methods of making with the conventions of working by hand.

HOW SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION BRINGS HEALING
2025-06-26 19:30 - 20:30 | Glen Arbor Township Hall
This free talk on Christian Science explains how understanding more clearly our relationship with God, infinite good, ends fear and leads the way forward. We are not stuck! Christian Science is a Bible-based Christian religion founded by Mary Baker Eddy in 1866. This talk explains how we can move away from fear, sickness, and strife into something better. Prayer, as it’s explained through the lens of Christian Science, is a tool for bringing a different viewpoint, and ultimately healing, to any situation. Prayer is getting beyond surface level judgements to a deeper sense of God’s nature—all-good, all-loving—defining all things. It helps us see how natural health, wholeness and harmony are, here and now, in a way that not only benefits us, our family, our colleagues, and our friends, but also it benefits the world. The speaker, Alexandre Fischer, is a Christian Science Practitioner. He describes a number of specific experiences as he walks his listeners through how this prayerful perception of God brings healing in our lives.
