SUMMARY:Artist in Residence Talk: Nicholas Hill
DESCRIPTION:PRESS RELEASE \nContact:\nScott Bouma\nExecutive Director\nGlen Arbor Arts Center\n231 2334-6112\ndirector@glenarborart.org \nOhio artist Nicholas Hill brings the 19th century to his Glen Arbor Arts Center residency in September. Hill\, a resident of Granville\, Ohio\, has developed a practice around the combining of intaglio printmaking and cyanotype photography\, a plein air approach to cameraless photography. Hill will talk about the resulting collages he’ll make while in Northern Michigan at a presentation on September 18\, 10 am. The program takes place at the GAAC and is open to the public at no charge.\n“I use the concept of ‘plein air’ in a distinctive manner\,” he said. “I work outside when creating plates and cyanotypes. I use the studio for the printing phase. I return to outside to create the finished collages. This use of direct observation is unique because I am creating the finished images as ‘printerly’ collages in nature.\nThe 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.

SUMMARY:‘Not Accepted: An Historical Look At Art Exhibition Rejection’
DESCRIPTION:Rejection from juried exhibitions is baked into the cake for artists who want to show their work. “Not Accepted: A Conversation About Rejection\,” a slide lecture\, delves into the topic. The lecture takes place at the Glen Arbor Arts Center on September 7\, 11 am. Tickets are $5 for GAAC members\, $10 for nonmembers. Reservations are required.\n“Not Accepted” explores rejection through the lens of two\, historic examples: the Paris Salon of 1863\, and the Third Reich’s suppression and destruction of visual art it considered “degenerate.” The topic also touches upon other issues: Who determines what is acceptable art? Whose voice is heard? And\, whose voice is erased? GAAC Gallery Manager Sarah Bearup-Neal leads the discussion.\nThe lecture is offered as part of the GAAC’s exhibition HIStory / HERstory: Whose Story? The show is on display in the GAAC Main Gallery through October 23. To reserve a ticket or for more information about the exhibit\, go to: GlenArborArt.org /EXHIBITS.

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence Talk: Liz Barick
DESCRIPTION:PRESS RELEASE \nContact:\nScott Bouma\nExecutive Director\nGlen Arbor Arts Center\n231 2334-6112\ndirector@glenarborart.org \nAnn Arbor artist Liz Barick Fall’s practice focuses on mixed media assemblage\, creating installations that incorporate encaustic photos with vintage materials\, found objects and natural materials. But during her Glen Arbor Arts Center residency her “biggest goal is to explore mediums and methods that I don’t already employ.” Barick Fall will talk about her exploratory residency during a presentation on September 4\, 10 am. The program is open to the public at no charge.\n“With only two weeks and limited studio equipment\, I would explore simplified processes\, by bringing limited\, easily portable mediums and supplies\,” Barick Fall said.” I would use these in a less deliberate\, more spontaneous way than I usually do\, to catalog/document daily reflections and impressions of the area in and around Glen Arbor\, while taking photographs and collecting materials to use in future work.”\nThe 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.

SUMMARY:Coffee with the Authors
DESCRIPTION:PRESS RELEASE\nContact:\nScott Bouma\nExecutive Director\nGlen Arbor Arts Center\n231 / 334-6112\ndirector@glenarborart.org \n The Glen Arbor Arts Center’s third season of Coffee With The Authors is about building. And the next interview in the 2025 series is about building the history of a place\, in this case Glen Arbor Township: A History to 1920\, a new\, hardcover book edited by Andrew White; and written by Paul Dechow\, Mary Severson Tris\, Barbara Siepker\, and John Tris. The interview takes place August 24\, 11 am in the GAAC Main Gallery.\nPublished by Leelanau Press\, Glen Arbor Township surveys the geological\, social\, and human history of what became Glen Arbor Township\, a municipal designation encompassing 87.6 square miles of land and water.  Over the course of 368 pages\, and drawing on original documents\, the five collaborating writers present a picture of this place\, starting with the glacial activities that lay the groundwork for the Land of Delight; the lifeway of the original inhabitants; followed by the commercial timbering era\, fruit orchards\, Glen Arbor’s early resorts\, and the accompanying population shifts. GAAC Gallery Manager Sarah Bearup-Neal will explore the mechanics of how a group of writers build a cohesive history\, and what current day residents can glean from the past.\nCoffee With The Authors is a series of conversational interviews with local\, regional\, and state authors about the art\, craft\, and process of writing. In these interviews\, Bearup-Neal talks with writers – poets\, essayists\, memoirists\, fiction writers\, historical fiction writers\, writers of creative non-fiction – and explores how writers work and think. There is no charge.\nCoffee With The Authors enjoys the support of the Cottage Book Shop and the Glen Lake Community Library.

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence Talk: Lynn Heasley
DESCRIPTION:PRESS RELEASE \nContact:\nScott Bouma\nExecutive Director\nGlen Arbor Arts Center\n231 2334-6112\ndirector@glenarborart.org \nKalamazoo\, Michigan writer Lynne Heasley’s residency with the Glen Arbor Arts Center is bat-centric\, and a springboard for writing about the natural world and how it intersects with the human world. Heasley will talk about her essay-in-progress at a public presentation on August 21\, 10 am. The program is open to the public at no charge.\nDuring her residency\, Heasley will “develop a creative nonfiction environmental essay titled ‘I Remember the Bat Room’ \,” she said. The piece is the prologue for “reconsidering my grandparents’ dilapidated\, never-painted\, 1900 farm house in the 1960s and ‘70s — what its smells taught and might still teach about our relationships within more-than-human worlds; about transcendent meanings of ‘home’; about biodiversity in even humble places.”\nThe GAAC has been hosting visiting artmakers as part of its residency program since the 1990s.

SUMMARY:Artist’s Interview: Inside The Outside
DESCRIPTION:PRESS RELEASE\nContact:\nScott Bouma\nExecutive Director\nGlen Arbor Arts Center\n231 334-6112\ndirector@glenarborart.org \nArtist’s Interview: Inside The Outside \nInside 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. \nThe 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.  \nRead more about Inside The Outside on the GAAC website: GlenArborArt.org / EXHIBITS
