Read this excerpt from Nadine Gilmer’s story, “Art and camaraderie in Glen Arbor” which was published in the Glen Arbor Sun in July 2009:
At Ruth Conklin Gallery you’ll find colorful and artistic American-made items from over 100 artists. During the winter Conklin travels the country in search of new artists for her gallery. It was on one of those trips 16 years ago that she discovered Sticks, a line of furniture by Sarah Grant, at an art show in Miami. Iowa native Grant, who once vacationed in Leelanau County, draws designs into tables and other furniture, which are then wood burned and painted.
