“Destination ARTS!” activities continue in Waynesboro with special events and live music scheduled at Gallery 50, Gallery 20 East and 42 West ARTS Co-Op. The Ceramic Arts Center of Waynesboro and The Contemporary School of the Arts & Gallery will also have art and pottery for sale and art classes available.

Marjorie Tressler returns to Gallery 50 on Thursday afternoon to provide her visitors with a painting demonstration beginning at 1:00.

Donna Bingaman will take her turn leading a demonstration on Friday. The impressionist painter will work with oil at 42 West ARTS Co-Op between the hours of 12:00 and 2:00 p.m.

“Wine Down Friday” receptions, featuring wine and light refreshments, are scheduled from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Gallery 50, Gallery 20 East, 42 West ARTS Co-Op and The Ceramic Arts Center of Waynesboro.

One of the area’s most popular performers will make her highly anticipated return to Downtown Waynesboro on Sunday afternoon. Kerensa Gray attracted an audience to Center Square in August as part of “Destination ARTS!” Now, she’ll bring her jazzy vocals indoors for a special show at Gallery 20 East beginning at 2:00 p.m, accompanied by Beth Trez aon keyboard.

While listening to Gray perform, visitors can explore the “Through the Lens” exhibit of photographs, currently hanging in the east room of the gallery.

The inspirational work of a group of artists in the area (including Marjorie Tressler, Liz Hurley, Donna Mason and Eliane Ambrose) who call themselves “The Prometheans” is on display in the other half of Gallery 20 East.

These performances are supported in part by the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.

David F. Heatwole’s series of paintings known as “Points of Perception” continue to be featured as part of the latest exhibit at The Contemporary School of the Arts & Gallery.
