Presence

Traverse City Tourism Visitors Center
101 W Grandview Pkwy
Traverse City, MI 49684

Fall/Winter 2025/26

For generations, Northern Michigan has attracted artists and tourists alike. Presence celebrates the intersection of these communities and their combined positive influence on our region. Diverse across career stages, regional ties, and artistic discipline, the exhibition’s artists are united by their quest for solace in pure discovery, not unlike visitors exploring the beauty of our region. A practice of presence exists both in the act of creation in the studio and in the moments spent amongst the dunes, forests, and beaches.

By sharing perspectives and stories from each artist, and by presenting their work directly in conversation with TC visitors’ experiences, we hope to acknowledge the power in this connection. This exhibition is itself an invitation to be present, discover, and stay open to wonder.

Featuring work by: Naomi Call, Johnny Camacho, Corrina Ulrich, Rachel Winslow, Glenn Wolff, Pier Wright
