Entries for the show’s on-site jury may be delivered to the GAAC, (located at 6031 S. Lake St.), on Sept. 4-5, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Application details may be found at GlenArborArt.org; click on “for artist” and click on “art exhibits.”agriCULTURE opens Friday, Sept. 14 with a reception from 6-8 p.m. The show runs through Nov. 1.

agriCULTURE zeroes in on the lore and culture of barnyards and farmstead life. Through a series of companion programs, the exhibition acts as a springboard for explorations of the historic role of barns in the region, how agriculture defines the region’s character, what are examples of some current small farm practices. agriCULTURE is supported in part by the Michigan Humanities Council and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
