Good Hart Artist Residency and Crooked Tree Arts Center Celebrate a Decade of Collaboration 

The Good Hart Artist Residency (GHAR) was established in 2013 in partnership with Crooked Tree Arts Center (CTAC) to create a home for artists to exercise their creativity in the idyllic surroundings of Northern Michigan. A decade later, the residency has hosted over 80 residents to date, and is a strong independent arts non-profit that continues to foster relationships with artists and community partners.

In celebration, CTAC’s Gilbert and Bonfield galleries will host a show titled Art + Place +  Community: 10 Years with Good Hart Artist Residency, 9/16-11/4.  The exhibit contains works from GHAR alumni, including visual artists, writers, and composers, highlighting the unique breadth of creative work that has been supported by the residency over the past decade.

Opening events on 9/16 at CTAC-Petoskey include:

  • A watercolor workshop, led by GHAR alum Lindsey Dunnagan, at 2-4pm
  • A panel discussion, Artist Residencies Demystified: What Are They and How Do They Benefit Artists and Communities? at 4pm
  • A celebratory reception, 5:30-7:30, featuring galley exhibitand readings by GHAR poets and writers.

Good Hart Artist Residency and Crooked Tree Arts Center Celebrate a Decade of Collaboration 

The Dennos Museum and the Tusen Takk Foundation just opened A Separate Shining, an exhibition of selected works from the Tusen Takk Foundation’s collection representing artists who have participated in its artist-in-residence program to date. The exhibition runs through January 7, 2024 at the Dennos Museum Center. Taking its title from the poem “Joy” by Hilda Conkling, the exhibition surveys the artists’ exploration of the intangible–the unseen qualities of joy, beauty, and hope.
