“The Pa Wilds by Day and Night” photography by Curt Weinhold
2024-05-31 - 2024-06-02 | Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, 134 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce the extension of our current Atrium Gallery exhibit “The PA Wilds by Day and Night.” This exhibit is by Curt Weinhold, a photographer from Coudersport who is well-known for his photographs of the Dark Skies, as well as local nature scenes. This exhibit will remain on display until Sunday, June 2nd. Curt says of the exhibit, “I see my photos as a way to show a piece of the natural world, encouraging others to appreciate and preserve these resources.”
Curt Weinhold is originally from Lancaster County, but after visiting Potter and Tioga counties as a teenager, decided he wanted to move here. He has lived in Coudersport for more than half his life. When he wasn’t at his 40 hour per week day job, Curt started taking wedding photographs and doing portrait sessions in his home studio. However, it was always the outdoors that called to him and his camera.
Curt has been promoting the special places of northcentral Pennsylvania with photography for many years. Though he traveled to many National Parks, Curt has always been most passionate about the beauties of what’s now known as the PA Wilds. He enjoys the photographic adventure of searching for wildlife, wildflowers, waterfalls and the starry night skies. He wants to show all subjects in the best light, or the best darkness in the case of the night sky. During the dark of the moon, Curt often teaches nightscape photography classes at Cherry Springs State Park in Potter County. The darkest place on the East Coast is a magnet for many stargazers.
All of his photos in this exhibit are for sale. Some are framed under glass, and others are printed on canvas. Curt has also brought many prints of his photos, offering a variety of price points. His photos are also for sale in the Potter County Artisan Center in Coudersport, where he teaches classes.

Kitty Crawford Pop Up Exhibit

On Thursday, May 30th, Kathryn Crawford will return to her hometown as the star of a mini-exhibit on her celebrity life and films. The Gmeiner Art and Cultural Center will host this tribute as a prelude to a Kitty Crawford Festival scheduled for the fall. The display will feature publicity photos, newspaper articles, sheet music covers, and movie stills from her brief career in front of the cameras in the late 1920’s and early 1930’s.
The exhibit offers a preview of the Kitty Crawford Festival, to be hosted by the Gmeiner this fall in coordination with the Kelsey Academy of Tioga, a county-wide lifelong learning program. Focusing on films about and by Kathryn Crawford, the festival will premiere director Gale Largey’s latest documentary, “Love Theft,” examining a marital crime at the center of divorce proceedings between Crawford and husband James Edgar, Jr.–a statute still on the books today in some states. In addition, “Kitty –Grit and Mirrors,” Largey’s film on the life of Crawford, will receive a reprise showing. Movies and trailers featuring Kathryn Crawford, such as “City of Missing Girls,” “Skyway,” “Emma,” “King of Jazz,” and “Safety in Numbers,” will round out the tribute to Wellsboro’s own “Kitty.”
Born in Wellsboro, Kathryn Crawford (née Moran) achieved fame as a film star and actress on Broadway and in touring companies. She was known for premiering the song “Love for Sale” in Cole Porter’s “The New Yorkers” (1930), and in later years she became an acclaimed interior decorator for the famous, including Barron Hilton, Douglas MacArthur, Herbert Hoover, and Mary Pickford.
