Joe Lombardo, Artist and Instructor at Glen Arbor Arts Center

My greatest success at the Arts Center are my student’s accomplishments. Artists I teach exhibit in group and solo shows, succeed in painting sales, participate in painting competitions, win awards, paint with joy, and share the love of art with others!
Hank Feeley, Artist and Instructor at Glen Arbor Arts Center

As part of it’s mission to instill a sense of art into the community the Arts Center maintains a solid program of art classes throughout the year. I am proud to be associated with such a program.
Georgia Gietzen, Volunteer and Glen Arbor Arts Center Board Member

I love volunteering and meeting the artists involved in our Plein Air Weekend, or a gallery show. Surrounding and immersing myself in art, whether by purchasing art or volunteering for an event, makes me a part of the creative community.
Cristi Zarvas, Floral Designer and Instructor at Glen Arbor Arts Center

For me, supporting the arts means believing in spaces that foster our spirit of curiosity and play. The Arts Center creates spaces and experiences where people can be curious and take risks in a supportive environment.
Brenda Clark, Painter and Instructor at Glen Arbor Arts Center

One of my first workshops for the Glen Arbor Arts Center brought in various levels of artists who eagerly took on visual problem-solving, color theory, composing a painting to working on-location agenda with enthusiasm.

Joanne’s approach to mapmaking is not conventional, and what she ultimately produced from her residency was a dynamic, dimensional map of the area she staked out in Glen Arbor Township.
Ann Cibluski, Ceramist and Member of Glen Arbor Arts Center

Being a member of the Glen Arbor Arts Center provides opportunities to stretch my artistic muscles to make pieces for the interesting show themes.
