Pennsylvania Watercolor Society, prospectus

Fine Art & Photo Exhibit, United Way: We are seeking artists throughout the state to participate in a groundbreaking opportunity.  The United Way of Pennsylvania is in the process of creating a traveling photo exhibit to showcase the true impact local United Ways have throughout the Commonwealth, and  have collected photos from the following counties: Adams, Butler, Green, Lehigh, Mifflin-Juniata, Snyder/Northumberland, Armstrong, Cambria, Lackawanna/Wayne, Luzerne/Wilkes-Barre, Philadelphia, York, Bucks, Dauphin, Lebanon, Lycoming and Schuylkill.

We are looking for an artist from each county to create a new piece of art using the original photo from that county’s United Way as inspiration. When exhibited, the original photo and the new piece will be hung side by side, accomplishing both documentary and fine art at the same time. The exhibit will then travel to each county represented in the show between September 2010 through August 2011, with the local United Ways serving as hosts. 

If you are interested in participating, or know of an artist who would, please contact Star at your earliest convenience at intisar@uwp.org, or via phone at (717) 238-7365.

The Church of the Brethren, 1340 Forge Road, is asking for a monthly rotation of framed art.

A Note From the Executive Director: It is an honor to announce that on September 1, 2008, the Carlisle Art Association will merge with the Carlisle Arts Learning Center.

The Carlisle Art Association (CAA) began in the 1960’s when Erston Barnhart organized a group of artists to display artwork and to promote the visual arts in Carlisle. The group grew throughout the years and coordinated many shows, organized the Carlisle Art Walks, taught art and awarded scholarships to students continuing their education in the arts. Carlisle has been fortunate to have CAA’s passion for the visual arts within its community.

The merger will bring the arts under one roof in Carlisle while increasing the "arts energy" in our community. It is an exciting time!
