On August 18 Traverse City poet and teacher Jennifer Sperry Steinorth discusses Her Read\, a book-length collage poem. In the tradition of reusing canvases\, Steinorth appropriates a seminal text\, The Meaning of Art by Herbert Read (Faber & Faber\, 1931)\, and with the liberal use of correction fluid\, scalpel and embroidery floss\, erases and transforms the book from art criticism into feminist verse. Sarah Bearup-Neal\, GAAC gallery manager\, leads the conversation. The interview begins at 1 pm. \nSteinorth is the author of three published books of poetry\, numerous broadsides\, handmade books and more. She is a lecturer at the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor\, and a 2023-2024 Beinecke Fellow at Yale where she is at work on a biography of American poet\, C.D. Wright. \nThis Coffee With The Authors interview is part of the GAAC’s Shrines + Altars project\, an exploration of what\, where\, and how we direct our worshipful attention – secular\, non-secular\, sacred\, and profane. Read more about Shrines + Altars at GlenArborArt.org /EXHIBITS. Coffee With The Authors is offered without charge. The program is supported by the Cottage Book Shop and the Glen Lake Community Library. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St.\, Glen Arbor.

At what altars are we worshipping? This exhibit opens August 16 with a 5-8 pm reception. \nIn the most conventional sense\, a shrine is a holy place in which sacred relics are housed. An altar is a table or platform for the presentation of offerings or other ritualized presents. Both offer ways to create space for memory\, reverence\, reflection. Exhibitors have taken these thoughts to heart\, and created unexpected solutions to the creative problem. \nFor more information about the exhibit and its companion programs – artist interviews\, book discussions\, and the ongoing creation of a public shrine in the gallery – go to GlenArborArt.org/EXHIBITS.

DESCRIPTION:The Glen Arbor Arts Center celebrates human handwork in a time of machine dominance in its By Hand project. On May 4\, the GAAC will host a panel discussion of generative artificial intelligence [AI]\, and its incursion into the arts. Visual artists Randy Melick\, Tim Nielsen\, Rufus Snoddy\, and writer Bob Butz will talk about the role of AI in their work. The discussion begins at 1 pm and is facilitated by Anne Stanton\, National Writers Series executive director\, and Sarah Bearup-Neal\, GAAC gallery manager.\nIt is often asserted that AI is just a tool. In the May 4 discussion\, the panel will explore a range of questions including their experience with AI; and weigh in on whether or not it’s a benign “tool.” Is AI art “art”? How does AI change the way we understand the visual and literary arts? What purpose does AI serve in the arts? What’s the purpose of turning over human creative work to a machine? What are the harms? Melick and Snoddy teach visual art and art history at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City. Nielsen is the former president of Nielsen Design Group\, Traverse City\, and now a studio practitioner. Butz worked for 20 years as a freelance writer\, and is now the Senior Creative Copywriter and Creative Strategist for the Wisconsin-based Vortex Optics.\n.\nThis 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. The By Hand project enjoys the support of a Michigan Humanities Bridging Michigan grant.

Hood teaches music\, and chairs The Leelanau School art department. The program begins at 1 pm.\nContemporary music is often about consuming\, rather than creating\, and more often the result of digital enhancements and electronic additions.

The Letter League also caught the attention of Los Angeles filmmaker Michelle Boyaner of Greenie Films\, and a documentary about “stories of connection in a disconnected time” was created.

During the day\, Melissa works with space weather researchers at the University of Michigan to uncover the mysteries of the Aurora\, and at night\, she chases the Northern Lights\, successfully catching vivid eyesight-visible displays. She has helped hundreds\, if not thousands\, of Aurora Chasers to view the Northern Lights for the first time.\nLocal photographers Ethan Honke and Michele Aucello will be on hand to provide tips on photographing the Northern Lights. Participants are invited to bring their cameras and the photographers will happily share camera settings. \nLearn more about Melissa and the Michigan Aurora Chasers group here: https://kaelinart.wordpress.com URL:https://www.visitglenarbor.com/event/northern-lights-presentation/ LOCATION:Glen Arbor Town Hall\, MI\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.visitglenarbor.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/51iBNUGby6L._SL1500_.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Glen Arbor Arts Center":MAILTO:director@glenarborart.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Detroit:20231006T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Detroit:20231006T130000 DTSTAMP:20260502T160835 CREATED:20230410T222704Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230410T222704Z UID:10004809-1696593600-1696597200@www.visitglenarbor.com SUMMARY:Artist In Residence Presentation - Sara Maurer DESCRIPTION:Sault Ste.
