Michigan: An American Portrait reenvisions the PBS documentary film of the same name as a dynamic art and culture exhibition.
In 2014, Crooked Tree Arts Center - Petoskey partnered with Crouse Entertainment and the Duncan Group to support the production of the film. This summer, Crooked Tree Arts Center - Petoskey is premiering a newly curated exhibition inspired by the documentary. The exhibition looks at the history, people, and natural environment of the state of Michigan to explore relationships between place, identity, and the human experience. Original works of art by Michigan artists, didactic text, and clips from the film will be on display. Weekly public lectures and community-based collaborative educational programs deepen the experience. image: Robert DeJonge
Crooked Tree Arts Center - Petoskey’s exhibitions are made possible thanks to our Visual Arts Presenter, Comfort Keepers.
This project was made possible thanks to additional support from Petoskey-Harbor Springs Area Community Foundation, Charlevoix County Community Foundation, and David and Teresa Crouse and Family.
