In 2014, CTAC partnered with artist John Sauvé to bring the Man in the City “Up North” as part of its summer exhibition, Detroit @ CTAC. The northern version of this installation joined Sauvé’s 40+ other sculptures on the rooftops of Detroit and Windsor. As the northern version of this installation winds down, CTAC wishes to thank John Sauvé and all of the host venues. The little orange men have been displayed in locations across our region from Crystal Mountain to Mackinac Island. We’ve enjoyed wonderful behind-the-scenes tours and stories at these special spots and we hope that people have enjoyed looking up! “Working with the Crooked Tree Arts Center gave me the opportunity to introduce the Man in the City project to Northern Michigan. Through the sculpture installation process and numerous Crooked Tree Arts Center events, I was able to develop strong ties to Northern Michigan, for which I am eternally grateful.” –John Sauvé LOCATIONS: 9 Bean Rows, Suttons Bay • Avalanche Bay Indoor Waterpark, Boyne Falls • Building 50, Traverse City • Cafe Santé, Boyne City • Charlevoix Public Library, Charlevoix • City Park Grill, Petoskey • Crooked Tree Arts Center, Petoskey • Crooked Tree Arts Center, Traverse City • Crystal Mountain, Thompsonville • Gildner Gallery, Cheboygan • Hotel Indigo, Traverse City • Industrial Arts Institute, Onaway • Irish Boat Shop, Harbor Springs • Jolly Pumpkin & Mission Table, Traverse City • Legs Inn, Cross Village • Mission Point Resort, Mackinac Island • Nancy Kelly’s, Pellston • Normal Business College Building home of McLean & Eakin Booksellers, Petoskey • Normal Business College Building home of Roast & Toast Café and Coffee, Petoskey • Petoskey Brewing, Petoskey • Pier Restaurant, Harbor Springs • Pooter O’looms, Harbor Springs • Shepler’s Mackinac Island Ferry, Mackinaw City • Stafford’s Perry Hotel, Petoskey • The Gate House, Mackinac Island • The State Theatre, Traverse City • The Village of Bay Harbor, Bay Harbor • Twisted Fish, Elk Rapids

D'ART FOR ART 20TH ANNIVERSARY— ATTENDEES OF ALL 20 YEARS Long time Crooked Tree Arts Center members, Jan Soblesky and Josie Flaherty both share a love of the arts and have happily supported CTAC by attending D’Art for Art since the beginning. Jan initially heard about D’Art through a friend, thought it sounded like a fun time, and gave the new fundraising event a try. Since her first D’Art, Jan’s collected enough artwork to cover walls, tables, and even her kitchen cupboards—she loves having artwork all around her! Josie first learned about D’Art while walking through one of CTAC’s exhibits, and she too decided to attend. Over the years, Josie has curated quite the collection of D’Art artwork, some of which she has surrounding her in Florida, and the rest she has given to family and friends. Thank you, Jan and Josie, for continually supporting Crooked Tree and the arts in Northern Michigan.
Thank you Paul Rutherford Photography, Sean Miller Photography, and Maggie Van Wagoner 13
A Long History of Supporting the Arts KURT AND PHOEBE WIETZKE are proud
Crooked Tree Arts Center members. Without a doubt, you’ve seen them around at CTAC events or supporting local restaurants, performers, and the like in Northern Michigan and beyond. Always excited to promote Crooked Tree, the Wietzkes have been happily involved with CTAC since the late 90s, serving as two of CTAC’s most energetic ambassadors. Their love and appreciation for art was nurtured early on by family and school. Phoebe was surrounded by her father’s Asian art collection growing up, and she favored art history and literature, always seeking to better understand art. Kurt focused on the math and sciences during his school years, but also experimented with the arts in his high school’s strong humanities integrated programs. As a teenager, Kurt enjoyed creating wooden sculptures in school, some of which he still has on display. With art holding a presence in the Wietzke’s lives since their youth, it only made sense that they plug into the Northern Michigan arts community when they relocated to Boyne City in 2000. Kurt and Phoebe were recruited by Crooked Tree members Martha Landis and the late Marilyn Davies—two other great ambassadors for the Arts Center—to get involved. Phoebe dove in, ready to be part of the organization and promote the arts, and Kurt was right behind her. Early on, Phoebe sat on the Performing Arts Committee, and Kurt continues to serve on the Finance, Investment, and Executive Committees. The Wietzkes have both served as Chairman of CTAC, a distinction shared only by one other couple— Bill and Jane Millar.
For almost twenty years now, the Wietzkes have supported Crooked Tree by introducing friends, family, neighbors, and new acquaintances to the organization. They love making new connections, and they love introducing people to CTAC, just like Martha and Marilyn introduced them to Crooked Tree years ago. Their outgoing and magnetic personalities allow them to walk into a full room of strangers, and walk out with several new friends and future Crooked Tree supporters. “We hope CTAC is around for another hundred years, and in order to do that we need to continue on our path of sustained and responsible growth,” said Kurt. “We want to get more people involved and to create more disciples for the Arts Center.” Kurt and Phoebe have graciously hosted artists, musicians, and filmmakers at their home; they patronize the Arts Center and other arts establishments on a regular basis; and they even dressed up like Santa Claus and an elf for the 2016 Countdown to Christmas! Through their role as patrons and ambassadors, Kurt and Phoebe have built lasting friendships and made great memories. “We hope Crooked Tree continues to bring as much enjoyment to others as it has to us,” said Phoebe. Some of their favorite CTAC memories include the second Manoogian exhibit in 2004, working the Million Dollar Dinner—a former fundraiser, participating in “call-a-thons” for the Capital Campaign, and getting to work alongside the late Edith Gilbert, one of Crooked Tree’s founding members. Their dedication to the arts even led to their nomination and consequent winning of the 2016 Individual Patron eddi Award. The Wietzke’s love for Crooked Tree and the arts has not gone unnoticed, and we thank them for all their hard work—every organization deserves to have a pair of big-hearted ambassadors like Kurt and Phoebe.

ROCOCO SOCIETY FEATURED ARTIST— LARISSA FLYNN My current body of work is lifted from my daily Northern Michigan surroundings. Just things that catch my eye long enough to focus my attention to the present. On occasion I work from life, but mostly from recollection. Sometimes I’ll jot a note or two on a random scrap of paper referencing place, color, mood, etc., to work from later. When I set myself down to execute my art it’s a chance for me to relive a fleeting moment I was privileged to witness in the middle of work, commitments, struggles, and play. The birch bark that makes an appearance here and there is acquired by happenstance. The first piece that wandered into a composition was found along the path to my mailbox. When viewing my minimalist and simplistic drawings and paintings, I invite you to get lost in the negative space. Wander in and out of areas that are lost in translation. To stand still, take in the calm, breathe, relax, surrender, and connect… the same experience I have when I take notice of the subject I’m compelled to translate and share. 15
