Happiness will abound in 2024. The Glen Arbor Arts Center (GAAC) will host “Happy” an exhibition of the work of 26 artists, Jan. 12 through March 21. For this exhibit artists were asked to tell and show: What makes you happy? What does that look like? Like a dog with two tails? Like a pig in mud?
Are you happy as Larry? Over the moon? Something entirely other? Is happiness in reach or always just beyond, or other?
The exhibit includes pieces that explore and interpret the many facets and meanings of happiness: literal to metaphorical, in 2D + 3D. The exhibit travels the happiness spectrum: from representational to nonrepresentational, realistic to abstract. Happy exhibitors are: Dorothy Anderson Grow, Reyna Colombo, Stephanie Cope, Cherie Correll, Mike Cotter, Nancy Crisp, Linda Alice Dewey, Denise I. Dunn, Tia Sunshine Dye, Ellie Harold, Debra Howard, Kristin Hurlin, Louis Katz, Sarah Kime, Jessica Kovan, Julie Kradel, Marti Liddle-Lameti, Clay Maas, Cynthia Marks, Mark Mehaffey, Pam Spicer, Kimberly Stoney, Margaret Tcheng Ware, Michelle Tock York, Trisha Wolfe, Lisa Marie Yontz.
