“LOOK CLOSER: BEYOND THE 1st IMPRESSION” MAIN GALLERY REGIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT AT THE GMEINER
The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is proud to present its highly anticipated 2026 Regional Photography Exhibit in the Main Gallery. Running from Saturday, June 13 through Sunday, July 5, 2026, this competitive exhibition showcases the diverse talents of photographers living within a 150-mile radius of Wellsboro.
The public is invited to celebrate the artists at an opening reception on Saturday, June 13, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Hosted by members of the Grand Canyon Photography Club, the reception is free to attend and offers a chance to meet the photographers. The official awarding of ribbons by the exhibition juror will take place during the festivities at approximately 3:00 PM.
For three weeks, the Gmeiner’s walls will feature approximately 40 exceptional, original photographs from 21 distinct regional artists. While local Wellsboro talent is heavily featured, the exhibition spans multiple communities across Pennsylvania and New York, with many of the selected images beautifully capturing fleeting moments in nature. To provide a deeper viewer experience, each displayed piece will feature a unique two-part commentary from the artist: a “First Impression” detailing what people see at first glance, and a “Closer Look” revealing the deeper story behind the lens.
The public can view this spectacular collection of regional photography during regular gallery hours, which are 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, Tuesdays through Sundays. The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is closed on Mondays. Admission to the gallery and the opening reception is always free to the public.

The community, families, and art-lovers of all ages are invited to celebrate these young creators at a fun opening reception on Saturday, June 13, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Attendees can enjoy light refreshments while viewing the artwork, and admission is completely free.
The “ART-gineered” project flips the script on traditional art shows by connecting the students’ second-grade STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) skills with exciting future career paths. For this creative challenge, student “Junior Engineer” teams worked together to build original 3D sculptures using everyday recycled materials. Every single sculpture was directly inspired by a classic 2D painting by the gallery’s original benefactor, Arthur Gmeiner. Throughout the month of June, visitors can see these historic paintings hanging side-by-side with the students’ matching 3D masterpieces.
Young visitors attending the exhibit can participate in an interactive scavenger hunt inviting them to explore both Gmeiner’s gallery exhibits. Children who complete the hunt will win a special take-home art pack, generously provided by the Art Friends of the Gmeiner.
The public can view this spectacular collection of regional photography during regular gallery hours, which are 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM, Tuesdays through Sundays. The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is closed on Mondays. Admission to the gallery and the opening reception is always free to the public.
