Glen Arbor Arts Center encourages writers to “write a COLOR story”

From staff reports

Ekphrasis is the Greek term meaning to write about visual art. Area writers are invited to engage with the Glen Arbor Arts Center’s (GAAC) new exhibition, COLOR, and use the exhibition’s artwork as a source of writing prompts and inspiration. The exhibition features work by 29 visual artists, and runs January 10-March 26.

Color plays a larger, more dynamic role than merely acting as a seasonal picker-upper. How is color used to tell a story? And, what happens when an artist chooses to invent a palette for a subject—rather than be dictated to by the scene? Area writers of any skill level are invited to sit and consider the COLOR works, and write their own color stories.

The GAAC Gallery is open without charge to the public. Hours are Monday-Friday, 9 am-3 pm; and noon-4 pm on Saturday and Sunday. For more information call 231-334-6112.
