About the New Show…
The new show, titled “Travel ~ Through the Artist’s Eye,” is highlighted by the work of South African painter, Eric Holsmann. Known throughout the world for his 
illustrations of cityscapes in Pretoria, Holsmann has been honored by that city’s art museum with a retrospective exhibition spanning 25 years. Impressed by the photos his Pennsylvania-born wife took of Waynesboro, he was inspired to capture the charm of our Main Street’s buildings on canvas. These original oil paintings are at Gallery 50 for viewing and sale beginning February 28.
Saturday, March 1
On the afternoon of Saturday, March 1, artist Tom Tholen will demonstrate the drawing of a costumed model on toned paper from 2:00 – 4:00 at 42 West ARTS Co-Op. A former resident of Salt Lake City, UT, Tholen has carved out a successful career of more than 25 years, with combined experience in storyboard, layout and concept work. He now lives in Chambersburg.
