Multimedia Show and Sale

Works in this exhibit illustrate (a small pun to see if you're paying attention) a variety of visions, media, and techniques. Membership being the only criterion, it also provides an opportunity for artists from rank amateur to long-in-the-tooth professional to strut their stuff. See for yourselfposter any time between January 11 and March 2. The multimedia show features 46 artists with 110 pieces.  It is one of the largest members shows the arts center has ever hosted.

Come to the artists' reception 1-3 p.m. Sunday, January 22 and enjoy the tasty culinary artwork of Tom Ringler and Dennis Harr.

 ENCAUSTICS CLASS

 Donna Housel will teach this ancient Greek medium 1-4 p.m. Saturday, February 18. (See a sample of Donna's work in the current exhibit.) $20 for members, $22 for nons. Supplies will be provided but it wouldn't hurt to bring your own heat gun and putty knife, even an old electric skillet if you have one you can heat wax in. This can get a bit messy (which makes it more fun!) so don't wear your Sunday clothes.  

 

January 31 is the dropdead date to register so that Donna has time to order supplies. And class size is 10 max, so call today!

Consort News


We've Received Grants!

We're very proud to announce that we've received two grants to help support concerts next season.  First, the Community Foundation for the Alleghenies has granted us $1000 for the April 13, 2013 concert by the D'Amore Duo.  Those of you with long memories will remember this delightful guitar/oboe duo; guitarist William Feasley is joined by oboist Yeon-Jee Sohn.

Also, Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour has granted us $510 toward the May 18, 2013 concert of popular pianist Clipper Erickson.  The energetic Mr. Erickson will also present a school concert the day before, focusing on the variety in classical ethnic music, including African-American, Latin, and Asian music.

We've also gotten $1500 from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts in support of all our activities, received through the Pennsylvania Rural Arts Alliance.  We're grateful to all three of these grantmaking organizations!
