The Tusen Takk Foundation and the Dennos Museum are pleased to present 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. 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. Nestled in the forested dunes of Lake Michigan on the Leelanau peninsula, the Tusen Takk residence and studios were conceived by Geoffrey and Thomas Peckham, and designed by world-renowned architect Peter Bohlin. At Tusen Takk, both the natural and man-made landscape are sources of inspiration for the artists who come to use its studios to bring into existence what they once only imagined.
