This group will gather once a month to share and learn more about the value of creativity in our daily lives. Over a warm mug of brewed tea/coffee (or ice tea/lemonade in the summer!), come connect with others, share ideas, find inspiration, and practical tips to lead a more creative and whole-hearted approach to life. Each month, in addition to checking in with one another, we will explore different practices (journaling, stitching, collaging, photography) that may pique your creative curiosity.
Each week the group will meet at the front desk of the Glen Arbor Art Center and will move to locations such as Pine Street Studio, the GAAC Classroom, the GAAC grove or Thoreson Farm.
Join East Bay Corners Farmers Market on Thursdays from 2:00–6:00 PM at the East Bay Township Offices (1965 N. 3 Mile Road, Traverse City).
Shop fresh local produce, baked goods, handmade items, and more while connecting with neighbors and supporting regional farmers and small businesses.
The market proudly accepts SNAP/EBT benefits and participates in the Grand Traverse County Senior Produce Program to help make fresh, local food accessible to all.
Be sure to visit our calendar for special events happening each week at the market!

Amy Lipson, LTC Conservation Specialist, and her husband Joe Lipson, owner of Mycotorphy LLC (a local business offering guided mushrooming adventures) will co-lead a foraging adventure to look for interesting fungi, and maybe even find some choice edibles! This mushroom hike will be primarily an on-trail guided walk. If there are not many mushrooms out due to dry weather, we will shift to a standard nature hike.
Hopefully we will have good mushroom weather and be able to find lots of honey-mushrooms! ADDRESS: 10251 Brutus Road, Brutus

Created by artist Mary E. Burns, the exhibit features 29 handwoven jacquard portraits celebrating scientists, activists, educators, artists, and Indigenous water protectors from more than 20 countries. Through intricate textile art, the exhibition explores the universal importance of water and the women whose work helps sustain and protect this essential resource.
The exhibition will be on display on the Petoskey District Library's second floor from August 27 through October 15, 2026.
Throughout its run, the library will offer docent-led tours, related programs, book displays, and community conversations that explore themes of water, environmental stewardship, Indigenous knowledge, and women's leadership.
