Reception and Exhibit for Artist in Residence, Charles Murphy
The Leelanau Community Art Center's Ann Hall Artist in Residence for 2010 is Charles Murphy. The Old Art Building in Leland will be hosting an opening reception on Friday, June 11, and an giving opportunity to meet the artist and view a mixed media presentation of a lifetime collection of original artwork in oils and watercolor. The reception is from 5 to 8 pm. The exhibit continues Saturday 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday 12 to 4 pm.
The Ann Hall Artist-in-Residence summer program was begun in the summer of 2006. This program, a long-held goal of the Leelanau Community Cultural Center, was made possible by a special gift from the Hall family. The Halls, who have been Leland summer residents for years, were prompted to endow this position following the unexpected death of Ann Hall, a gifted artist. Ann's brother Charlie Hall represented the family in helping to select recipients for this honor.
