AIR Panel Discussion with Sarah Bearup-Neal

A panel discussion about artist’s residencies — what they are and how they figure into a creative practice — supplements an exhibition of work based on the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s Artist-in-Residence Collection. The discussion is Saturday, Nov. 5, 1 p.m. at the Elizabeth Lane Oliver Center for the Arts, 132 Coast Guard Road, Frankfort. Sarah Bearup-Neal, chairperson of the GAAC’s Artist-in-Residence program, will facilitate the discussion. The panelists are painter and art educator Joan Richmond, and poet Teresa Scollon, both of Traverse City; and painter Lynn Uhlmann of Empire. There is no charge. In addition to the residents’ works, there will be paintings by the late Suzanne Wilson, the AIR program’s founder; paintings by former AIR Chairperson Harvey Gordon; and contemporary quilts by Sarah Bearup-Neal, the AIR Committee’s current chairperson. The exhibition is sponsored by the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation. For more information please call the Oliver Art Center at 231/352-4151.
