Color our World by attending an art exhibit at The Gallery at Penn College located at 3rd Floor, Madigan Library, 1 College Ave, Williamsport, PA 17701

At this all age event we will explore different Fiber art and MEET the artists that all live in Pennsylvania!

All about the Exhibit- 

5 Artists: Explorations and Conversations presents the work of Meredith Eachus Armstrong, Elizabeth Z. Bennett, Jean E. Downing, Peggy Blei Hracho, and Cecilia J. Rusnak. For nearly a decade, these artists have been committed to meeting monthly to support one another and critique work in process. They ask questions, give feedback, and discuss possible resolutions of both artistic and technical problems with the intention of helping each artist move their work forward. Critique encourages the artists to explore options, extend boundaries, and take risks. A productive and exciting give and take on thoughts and ideas transpires. Over the years, the artists have built trust and respect. The feedback shared is invaluable. 

Their collective work has a range of themes and styles: representational, abstract, landscape, imaginary and remembered places, ancient scripts, creatures, portraits, and more. The artists share a commitment to using textiles as an essential element of their work and employ a variety of techniques including hand and machine stitching, photographic processes, upcycling, painting, dyeing, printing, surface design, collage, assemblage, and embellishment. All of the members are Pennsylvania-based artists who have shown their work in juried and invitational exhibitions.
