Art Walk 2020

August 17-23, 2020

The GLCAC and Pontiac Heart & Soul are sponsoring an Art Walk through participating businesses. Artists have donated artwork which will be sold by silent auction. A sheet is provided on which to place your bid. There is a suggested value of the artwork, but you may start at any amount. Stroll through the businesses and view our work and place a bid on the clipboard if you like. All proceeds go to GLCAC to fund arts scholarships.

'Hiraeth’ by Pam Beeson

July 2020

The Greater Livingston County Arts Council July 2020 Gallery Show ‘Hiraeth’. 

The July 2020 Gallery Show at the Art Center will open in the Joe Bailey Gallery on July 3rd and will continue through the month.

The show is ‘Hiraeth’ by Pam Beeson. Hiraeth is defined as ‘a yearning for home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was.’  Pam has been exploring composite photography, and the pictures in this set are digitally ‘constructed’ with photos or parts of photos that Pam has taken while exploring small towns and backroads across the country.


The Art Center at the Greater Livingston County Arts Council and Gallery is located at 209 West Madison Street, Pontiac. The show will open on July 3. An artist reception may be announced at a later time. Hours for the Art Center are Monday through Friday, 10am to 5pm, Saturday 10am to 4pm and Sunday 12noon to 4pm. There is no admission fee and the public is welcome.
