Pennsylvania artist Ruth Trok will use her Glen Arbor Arts Center residency to produce a body of porcelain pots and vessels that explore the interaction between native and invasive species in Leelanau County. Trok, a ceramist, will talk about her project during a public presentation June 9, noon, at the GAAC, 6031 S. Lake St., Glen Arbor. The presentation is free.

Since the 1990s, the GAAC has welcomed visiting artists who want to immerse themselves in their work. The GAAC’s Artist-in-Residence program offers up to seven, creative practitioners a two-week respite from their daily lives in order to focus on a new idea that needs space, or to develop an on-going project.
