BAC Gallery at 210 S. Lake St

Boyne Arts Collective opens for the season on May 17
The Boyne Arts Collective (BAC) is calling all artists to submit new or existing work that helps our community understand and appreciate what local artists can create. The show will express our famous Morel Mushroom and Spring festivities with visions of what it means to live in Northwest Lower Michigan. BAC members can deliver their artwork to the Boyne Arts Center at 210 S Lake Street. Elaine Case and Mary Whitmore will explain how to sign in your art from May 9-12.  For more information, email boynearts@gmail.com. The BAC Reopening Reception will be held May 17 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. All artists are encouraged to attend the Friday evening reception to welcome the public to the Spring/Morel Exhibit in a variety of media. The Display of Artwork will begin in connection with the 53rd National Morel Mushroom Festival.

In addition, Jasmine Witthoeft has created the oil painting for the SOBO Arts District poster. Witthoeft’s painting will be displayed in the gallery window and she will be available to sign posters during the May 17th reception.
Local artists are also helping organize the family-friendly SOBO Arts Festival on June 28-29.  For more info, visit www.soboartsfestival.com.

Boyne Arts Collective:  June 2012 Newsletter

The big excitement this winter for the Boyne Arts Collective (BAC) was the invitation to display much of our art at the Made in Michigan Shop within the Village of the Boyne Mountain Resorts in Boyne Falls.

Curator Mary Whitlock and Elaine Case spent many hours delivering and adjusting the artwork to suit the staff at Made in Michigan. The BAC members were delighted to demonstrate their art techniques to visitors at Boyne Mountain each weekend from January to May. BAC artists will continue to sell artwork at the Mountain throughout the year. The General BAC Meetings and concerts were not held during the winter months.

Previous to the Grand Re–Opening of the BAC Gallery at 210 S Lake Street in the South Boyne (SOBO) area of Boyne City, there was a great turnout of members for a work bee.

All of the walls and dividers were patched and painted, lighting and ceiling tiles were installed, windows washed, display cases polished, and Mary’s “To Do list” completed within a week. Both the North and South Galleries were readied for a May 4 reception celebrating the Morel and Spring Show featuring the member’s work in all media.

The winner of the SOBO Arts Festival poster contest was Deb Bobo. Her work along with the other poster entries is hung at the BAC Gallery through June. Visit www.soboartsfestival.comfor information on artists from all over the region who are expected to attend the two-day show celebrating the arts. The family friendly festival will be held in the SOBO arts district in Boyne City June 29-30 from 4 PM – 10 PM on Friday and 9 AM – 6 PM on Saturday. The festival features workshops, music, food, and children’s activities.

The first BAC Stage Concert was presented on May 29. Bob Marshall of Ortonville, MI entertained the audience with his songs and guitar. The BAC Saturday Jam Sessions, 10 AM – 12 PM are open to everyone, artist or non-artist, at no charge.

There is a call for artists to contact co curators Elaine Case at emcase@att.net or Mary Whitlock at marywhitlock51@gmail.com. The BAC displays will be seasonal this year so be sure to visit the Gallery during the Summer, Fall, and Winter exhibits.

Friday hours are 1 PM – 5 PM through June 8, then 1 PM – 8 PM from June 15 through Labor Day to welcome families who are out for Boyne’s Stroll the Streets. Weekend hours on Saturdays are 10 AM – 6 PM and on Sundays 12 PM – 4 PM.
