The “Clay & Pigment” exhibit at York’s Out Door Country Club features both clay monoprints and photographs of artist Andrew Smith of Visual Realia, LLC.

“Approximately two dozen artists are represented in the exhibit with mediums utilizing acrylics, pastels, oils, watercolors, wood, pen, mixed media, and more.”
Bringing The Outside In: The “Scapes” Exhibit

Creator Five: Rita Whitney
It’s not uncommon for those in the creative sectors of our communities to have strong connections across and between those who are active professionally or as avocations. In south-central Pennsylvania, one of those connective arms is the Cultural Alliance of York County. Its Director of Communications, Rita Whitney, lets us take a peek into her own artistic background in this Creator Five.
Visit to the unentitled Exhibit at Marketview Arts
Early during the summer of 2022, several members of the Collective Rogue Arts (CRA), an informal group of area creatives, artists, and entrepreneurs in south-central Pennsylvania, began discussing an exhibit of works focusing on collaborations between two or more artists. The result is “unentitled,” a collection of works by seven artists of various mediums.

Chasing the Light with Mary Moores
“When regional art lovers think of Mary Moores’ artworks found in galleries and exhibits, they’ll most likely have her pastel works in mind. But visit her social media accounts, and you’ll often see a sketchbook and drawings in her hands, sometimes with works not yet completed, giving the viewer insight into her art and approach.”
Creator Five: Gourd Artist Reagan Bitler
Godahavom Gourds artist Reagan Bitler changes our perceptions of the intricacies of working with gourds as an art medium.
