A guided walk-and-talk through the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s new exhibit, Happy, takes place January 27, 1 pm. Sarah Bearup-Neal, GAAC gallery manager, leads a conversational tour of the exhibit. Happy explores how 26 visual artists interpret the many facets and meanings of happiness: literal to metaphorical, in 2D + 3D.
The Walk + Talk will also include conversation about Tree Of Life | Connecting The World, a mixed media installation by Traverse City artist Mary Fortuna. This small show runs January 5 – April 25, 2024 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.
The Walk + Talk is free. The GAAC is located at 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. For more information go to GlenArborArt.org / EVENTS.
