Gallery hours will be:

Friday, 5 – 8 pm
Saturday, 12 – 6 pm
Sunday, 1 – 4 pm.

Artist Bios:

Kelly Neibert is a painter and Waynesboro native currently living in Frederick, MD. Her work primarily deals with the figure and is largely inspired by candid photographs.  Her medium of choice is oil, but she also enjoys working in acrylics and mixed media. Kelly graduated from Messiah College in 2010 with a Bachelors Degree in Studio Art. Her long term goals include
obtaining an MFA in painting and becoming an art professor.

Liana Mosior is currently finishing her last semester at Shippensburg University and works in graphite and mixed media on panel. She is originally from Waynesboro, PA.

 

 

Kayleigh Montgomery lives and works in Frederick MD. She studied photography at the Corcoran College of Art and Design for 3 years, and has been using photography as a medium for about 13. She uses analog photography methods to collect and share images of the world around her. Her work explores themes of urban decay, loneliness, and evidence of humanity.

 

Zach Hess has an associate’s degree in graphic design. Photography is currently his jam, but he loves mixed-media collage, as well. He spends entirely too much time wondering what it must be like to be a wizard. He has hopes to learn to play the guitar, someday. He doesn’t know his own blood type. He is from Waynesboro, PA.

 

Emily Gude is a painter and photographer from Frederick, Maryland. She began her artist journey in NYC here she studied photography at the Fashion Institute of Technology. During her time there, she learned how to make beautiful images, network with great people and soak in inspiration. She now resides in her hometown where she continues to photograph, network, design, paint and create.

 

Goodloe Byron is an bookist, songist, singist, drawist, and paintist. He learned how to draw by making book covers and comics for such luminaries as Soft Skull Press, NYU Press, Black Mask and Doubleday. Much of his youthful energy was lost in a drawn out book adventure in which he left thousands of novels across the world. Since then he has made his home over top of a guitar shop in Frederick, MD.

 

Kevin Good lives in Hagerstown, Maryland and is a self-taught sculptor, restorer, and tinkerer. His work is heavily influenced by industrial design and natural decay.

 

 

Brandy (Delaney) Shilling is lifelong resident and high school graduate of Waynesboro. Her sculptural work intends to give the viewer a 3-dimensional experience with the piece and increase interaction with the subject matter. Her concentrated areas of interest include photography, sculpture and ceramics.

 

Erin Delany began her journey with ceramics in 2007 while obtaining her bachelor’s degree in Art Education at Shippensburg University.  In 2009, she joined the Mont Alto Pottery Guild/Nicodemus Center.  She primarily works in her home studio and the Ceramic Arts Center of Waynesboro, PA.  She enjoys making a variety of functional and non-functional pieces ranging in size.  Currently, she is using stoneware and porcelain clays and firing in the mid-high range with an electric kiln.  Her current focus is throwing stacked forms, miniature vases, and experimenting with glazing methods.

Charlotte’s Web Antiques Opens!

The rear of one of Destination ARTS! former galleries now houses a new business to Waynesboro’s Downtown community. The former auto service bays and storage rooms of the old Western Auto Building at 22 East Main Street, once Gallery 22, is filled with antiques and curiosities to catch your eye and tempt you to purchase.

Roz and Marty Freeman, previously residents of Waynesboro, have returned home from the west and brought their huge collection of antiques with them. The main room is literally packed with fabulous examples of antique furniture, tools, housewares, etc. Then there are the “Catacombs,” a lower level cellar that extends under the main first floor sales room to the building front, which is filled with smaller treasures from yesterday’s home, stores, kitchens and workshops.

This description can not do justice to the collection nor to the friendly demeanor of the proprietors. You simply must come see for yourself. Charlotte’s Web will be open during the same hours as Destination ARTS! galleries and during Saturday’s “Market Day.”

“Destination ARTS!” activities continue in downtown Waynesboro this weekend. Six galleries will be open on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
