The Glen Arbor Art Association is located in Michigan's
Leelanau County, a vacation paradise built around the Sleeping
Bear National Lakeshore on Lake Michigan in the northwest
corner of the Lower Peninsula.
The village of Glen Arbor nestles in the middle of the park, a
haven for visitors and vacationers from throughout the United
States. Gorgeous lakes, towering sand dunes and stunning
views of Lake Michigan are everywhere. Not surprisingly, artists,
writers and musicians find their way to the area to live and work.
Each summer the Art Association sponsors an acclaimed
music festival, a full schedule of art classes for children and
workshops for adults, an artist-in-residence program, a migrant
children's program, a magazine for poets and essayists, and
many other activities to encourage local and nationally known
artists to share their work with all who visit.

| ABOUT THE RESIDENCY Residencies are considered in writing, visual arts, photography, sculpture, fiber arts, ceramics, music, philosophy and creative research. The selection committee considers requests in light of suitability for our present facilities. Artists who are chosen are expected to make a presentation to the community during their residency on the second Thursday evening of their stay. Artists may be asked, but will not be required, to donate one piece of work created during their residencies to the Glen Arbor Art Association. Residencies can be from two weeks to one month in duration. Residencies of one week may be requested but are not advised, especially for visitors unfamiliar with the area. Applications may be submitted until March 1 for the season (May - October) of the same year. They will be reviewed promptly after the submission deadline. The season may be extended through fall and winter, with work space limited to the apartment, for writers, musicians, and other practitioners of creative artistic and intellectual pursuits. |
