2019 in Review
We started out the season with the Attic Art & Vintage Sale. This fund
raiser was a huge success that generated over $4500 to support the
2019 Children’s Art Programming, Arts for Kids.
Members and the community generously donated items to sell.
People were waiting at the door to shop on opening day.
Thanks to the Attic Art event team: Lead - Chris Verdon, Marjorie
Farrell, Barbara Waddell, Sharon Kalchik, Linda Bayer and the many
Giclee donated by Gene Rantz volunteers that helped with the sale.
A Bill Perkins Rocker donor unknown
We had a pop up Members Exhibit in June to support the Leelanau Township Community
Foundation Open House.
Due to the success of our 2018 Photo Exhibit, the 2019 Northport Photo Exhibition was extended to ten days. Over 250
Photographs from 47 amateur and professional photographers were on display. The photos were juried and $700 in awards
were presented to seven photographers.
The Northport Public School art students were invited to participate and six students submitted a variety of photos. The
Northport Arts Association donated the printing and framing of the student photos for display and awarded certificates
of participation.
The opening reception was well attended by Photographers and guests. The event offered free “Photo Experiences” by several
photographers throughout the week.
Thanks to the photo event team. This enthusiastic group has put the Northport Photo Exhibit on the map: Linda Bayer, Robert
Bayer, Walter Farrell, Sharon Kalchik, Jay Petersen, Esther Send and Sheen Watkins.
When the doors of the Village Arts Building opened in the fall of 2016,
people began asking when children’s classes would be offered.
We have collaborated in the past with the school and the library with exhibits
and activities, and offered classes on a limited basis in 2018. In 2019 we
offered a full roster of workshops and camps for Village and Leelanau
Township kids in age groups of 5 to 8 and 9 to 12 years of age.
We are excited by the people who have come forward to teach the classes.
They brought years of teaching experience and the joy of sharing that was fun
and exciting for the kids while they learned new skills and made new friends.
We thank Chris Verdon, Lydia Woodruff, Deb Welty, Kay Pentzien, Tara Stoffel and all involved.

The annual Northport Plein Air Paint Out is our biggest and longest running event.
It started out very small in 2013 and has grown to be one of the best attended Plein
Air events in the region.
This two-day event begins with artists checking in on Saturday morning. They
are greeted by volunteers that stamp canvases and inform artists about painting
locations. Artists return to the Village Arts Building by 4pm on Sunday with fresh,
and in some cases, wet paintings ready to hang. Then volunteers get to work -
hanging paintings, serving the artists BBQ, setting up the reception food and floral
arrangement (which David Chrobak constructs and is a piece of art in itself). When
the doors opened at 6pm guests were waiting eagerly to see and buy original art.
Over 150 pieces of artwork were exhibited. The exhibit was juried by William Truman Hosner and Gene Rantz with $750
in awards presented to - Cal Kemppainen for Best of Show, Brant MacLean for 1st Place Village Scene, Candance Brancik
for 2nd Place Village Scene, Cynthia Yates for 1st Place Countryside, Amy Gamble for 2nd Place Countryside, Cornelius
VanSpronsen for 1st Place Water/Dune, David Westerfield for 2nd Place Water/Dune, Mark McHaffey for 1st Place Golden
Hour and Paul Tibedeau for 2nd Place Golden Hour. Thanks to the Plein Air Team: Gene Rantz, Linda Bayer, Tom Whitney,
Tara Stoffel, Mimi Heberlein and the many volunteers that helped set up and make thie event a success.
The 2019 Members Exhibit - Arts of Our Members Annual Exhibit
& Sale is always an inspiring event. This is an opportunity for
members to take part in exhibiting their work at the Village Arts
Building during the summer.
We start with a members potluck reception which brings artists
together. Then they exhibit is open to the public. This year we
continued the exhibit through September.
Over 120 pieces of artwork were exhibited by thirty-five artists.
Tables at the Tip of the Leelanau Peninsula was the Northport Arts Association
mid-summer fund raiser, showcasing one-of-a-kind hand painted tables by local
artists. The tables were designed and created using exciting methods, colors and
unique schemes.
“We are excited so many artists are willing to spend time to paint tables and
donate their beautiful work. This important fund raiser helped support the
matching percent of the Rotary Seed Grant by raising close to $5000.
Thanks to the Tables at the Tip Team: Lead Betsy Ernst, Sandy Dhuyvetter, Lydia
Woodruff and Sheen Watkins.
The 2019 Leelanau UnCaged was pronounced the “best ever”
by founder Andy Thomas. This was also the first year that Sandy
Dhuyvetter became Director and George Powell became Chair of
the Music Committee. Sandy is on the board of the NAA and serves
as Treasurer, both Sandy and George are NAA members. The one
day event brought out over 8,000 people who enjoyed over 35
performances, 65 artists and 17 food vendors. The sponsors and
volunteers are at the heart of this free festival. 2020 Leelanau
UnCaged will be returning Sept 26 for another full day of celebration.

The October Anniversary Exhibit is an annual event in honor of the gift of the
Village Arts Building from Bill and Nina Collins in October of 2016 to the Northport
Community. The 2019 Art Exhibit featured the work of Nina Collins.
Members of the Northport Arts Association bring a variety of art in for the exhibit.
The exhibit opened with a reception and ran until the end of October. The members
consist of artists and supporters of the arts. The art on exhibit ranges from paintings
– oil, watercolor, acrylic, pastel, etc. to sculpture, photography, fiber art and more.
We thank Chris Woomer for being our Exhibit Designer for many of our events.
Thirty-five artists displayed a total of 137 pieces of artwork.
Our ongoing Figure Drawing Studio began on Mondays in November 2019. It’s a great
experience with no formal instruction, no pressure and a chance to try your hand at
drawing the clothed figure in any medium of your choice. So far the preferred drawing
tools have been pencil, charcoal, pastel and watercolor. It’s a really fun group and
Members are welcome to drop in on any Monday to participate!
(Except on Mondays when there is a NAA members meeting scheduled)
During the month of November, NAA members
and the community joined together at the Village
Arts Building to create Nutcrackers. Village families,
NAA Artists, NMC instructors, children from after
school care and teens from Peshawbestown came to
design and paint.
The Northport Arts Association hosted our 3rd
Annual Christmas in the Village Artisan Market on
November 30th.
Over 20 artisans featured fine arts and crafts such
as fiber arts, jewelry, photography, paintings,
books, soaps, aromatherapy, herbals, ornaments,
holiday décor, wood work, upcycled art and more. Shoppers were happy to be greeted
with homemade cinnamon pretzels and a warm cup of hot chocolate or tea.
We Appreciate Our 2019 Volunteers
Volunteers are the heart and soul of non-profit organizations. We are fortunate to have wonderful people involved in the NAA
that step up and help when called upon. Please know we appreciate everyone that has helped in every way over the year.
We would like to focus on the garden work done in 2019. With a donation from The Little Garden Club, we focused on
beautifying the patio area with the purchase of a watering system, clover seed and more. Nance Schuman, Janet Dickerson, Kay
Pentzien, and others planted and weeded the patio area throughout the season. Chris Verdon planted the clover seed. Many
others donated, planted, helped with spring clean up and kept the garden growing. The patio area looked beautiful all season
and we look forward to seeing new growth in 2020.
Without our members and volunteers we wouldn’t have a Northport Arts Association. Thanks to each and every one of you who
volunteer and pay their dues to support this organization and its mission to bring arts to all.
“The Mission of the Northport Arts Association is to foster and promote artistic expression throughout the Northport Community”

Landscape Photography
Instructor: Jay Petersen

Jay will talk about how to take good landscape photographs. One
key factor is to consider when you take a landscape shot is compo-

and far distance of the image. The camera settings are also very
important. Jay will talk about the critical impact of exposure and
focus on landscape photos.
“My serious interest in photography started with birding, but I later
became interested in composition and in photography of other subjects, particularly in an artistic way. I joined a monthly
class with a professional photographer whose teaching emphasized composition, shapes, color and texture. I discovered that I
really enjoyed cityscape photography and it is still one of my favorites. I especially like the diversity and complexity of images
captured in large cities like New York, San Francisco and Chicago, often with the added drama and impact of B&W”.

13Finance Report
The NAA is pleased to report a balance budget and in 2019 we have acquired a positive net revenue of over $42,000. This
was made possible by the Seed Grant we received from Traverse City Rotary, a MCACA mini grant and generous support of
our members and donors. This will help us continue to manage operations as well as offer imaginative classes and engaging
events through 2020.
Our goal for 2019 was to hire a part -time employee. After several months of posting and searching, we found two wonderful
Arts Administrators. Tara Stoffel started working with us in July and Kay Pentzien started in August. They have been a tremen-
dous support to the organization in many ways. Since then, Kay has joined the Board of Directors and Tara continues as Arts
Administrator.
We track our revenue with a “bucket” system. This helps us insure that annual events have the funding they earned and need
to continue in the following year.
