The Glen Arbor Arts Center (GAAC) and Leelanau Investing for Teens (LIFT) have announced the renewal of their partnership for a second year, continuing to provide monthly art classes for Glen Lake Middle School students. This impactful initiative remains possible through the generous support of the Glen Lake Women’s Club.
GAAC, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching community life through the arts, and LIFT, Leelanau County’s only free after-school program for 6th to 12th graders, are thrilled to continue this collaboration. “LIFT’s partnership with Glen Arbor Arts Center has allowed our teens to explore the world of art when they otherwise wouldn’t have the chance,” said Stefanie Murphy, LIFT Glen Lake Middle School Program Coordinator. “I’ve seen students blossom from their lessons, take their experiences, and apply them elsewhere.
“One student who struggled to challenge herself creatively comes to mind who, after joining GAAC classes, decided to join the school’s theater and choir programs.”
