“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.
Anyone stopping by Gallery 50 between the hours of 1:00 and 4:00 on Thursday afternoon can hear Marjorie Tressler explain the use of the “Old Masters” oil painting technique and how she applies it to art projects in the modern world.
“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. Live musical performances are planned inside of Gallery 50 and 42 West Co-Op and will begin at 5:30.
A special book signing is planned as part of the reception at Gallery 50. Bill Helfrick, Mike Rohrer and Dave Thompson, authors of the book, Geiser: A Waynesboro Industrial Icon’s History and Legacy, will be in the gallery to sell and sign copies of their work. The trio also plans to discuss details about the company, which developed threshers, steam engines and plows in Waynesboro at the turn of the 20th century before a fire destroyed the plant on Broad Street in 1940.
During the signing, Sharon Rost will provide music for the occasion on the piano.
Down the street at 42 West ARTS Co-Op, Patric Schlee can be heard playing flute, drums and guitar.
Lori Linthicum will be at 42 West Artist Co-Op on Saturday to demonstrate how to make sculptural roses and other flowers in ceramic clay. Linthicum has used clay to create a variety of items during the past 10 years, including fruits, birds and insects. Her studio, Heart’s Desire Pottery, is located in Myersville, Md., but on Saturday, she can be seen in downtown Waynesboro from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
For the second time in 2015, one of Franklin County’s most recognizable performers will appear as part of “Destination ARTS!” when Drew Adams uses his guitar to make music inside of Gallery 20 East starting at 2:00 on Sunday afternoon.
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.
