FREE OUTDOOR SUMMER CONCERT SERIES TO FEATURE MOLLY'S BOYS JUGBAND
2023-07-21 16:30 | Deane Center for the Performing Arts, 104 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
At 4:30 p.m. this Friday, July 21, the free outdoor summer concert series will feature Molly’s Boys

Jugband on the outdoor stage located on the Central Avenue side of the Deane Center for the Performing Arts building at 104 Main Street in Wellsboro.

If weather becomes an issue, this free concert will be moved into the Coolidge Theatre. Donations are always appreciated.

This three-member group plays blues, folk, rock, and original tunes. With two guitars and a woodwind player they perform their music with feeling and expertise.

Gerry Cavaliere, a songwriter and teacher in the Danville area, helped form the group to play in his classroom as a way to teach teamwork and self-esteem. He retired from teaching last year.

John Sweeney on lead guitar and harmonica loves to share his passion for music. He has played in several blues bands in the Susquehanna Valley, a region that borders the Susquehanna River in the states of New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland. He lives near Bloomsburg.

Dave Driskell of Wellsboro, classically trained on clarinet and saxophone, has toured extensively throughout the Northeast as well as overseas with the Sadie Green Sales Jugband.

“Our name is the result of our first real gig in May 2018 in Lewisburg,” said Driskell. “We played for a little girl named Molly on her third birthday. Ever since, we have been called Molly’s Boys Jugband.”

Together, this trio captivates audiences with their rhythmical, bluesy style and, of course, the ear tickling sounds of musical saw, jug, and washboard.

Audience members are welcome to bring lawn chairs and sit on the grassy area in front of the outdoor stage or on Central Avenue, which will be closed to traffic between Main Street and the Warehouse Theatre from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The other free concerts in the outdoor summer series on Fridays at 6 p.m. are: Scott Turner’s Band of One on July 28; Drowsy Maggie on Aug. 4; Autumn Sun on Aug. 11; Sweats on Aug. 18; Houston Baker on Aug. 25 and Joe Stanky & The Cadets on Sept. 1.�

FREE WATERCOLOR CLASSES FOR ADULTS
2023-07-16 10:00 - 12:00 | Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center, 134 Main Street, Wellsboro, PA, 16901, United States
The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce a series of free watercolor classes for adults in the Studio at the Gmeiner. All classes will be led by Kathy Pilling-Whitney of Tioga, who has many years of teaching experience and is an accomplished watercolor painter. There will be two beginner sessions in June, and then a series of three classes in July for those who want to learn more advanced techniques. The classes are free, but students must provide their own materials. For these classes, students will need to purchase a set of watercolor paints (tubes or pans – not opaque), at least six sheets of 140 pound watercolor paper (8×10”, 9×12” or 11×14”), a watercolor palette to mix colors, and a set of watercolor (NOT acrylic) brushes.
The beginner class will be offered on two dates – Sunday, June 4th and Sunday, June 25th from 10AM – 12PM. Students should sign up for one session or the other by emailing director@gmeinerartculturalcenter.org or calling 570-724-1917. This class is intended for students who have little to no experience with watercolor painting and is limited to 12 students per session. The beginner class will be an exploration of the properties of transparent watercolor so that students can become familiar with the medium and increase their confidence in using it. The two-hour class will include discussion of the following: masking white vs. leaving white vs. using tape, transparent vs. opaque watercolor, and the use of watercolor markers and watercolor pencils. Students will also explore fluid (wet-in-wet), wet-on-dry, and drybrush techniques. Demonstrations and coaching will be done for both still life and abstract designs. Students should leave the class with at least one painting, increased skills and confidence in using watercolors, and perhaps a desire to continue developing their skills in the advanced series of classes.
The advanced classes will be held on July 9th, 16th, and 23rd from 10AM – 12PM. Students should sign up for all three sessions by emailing director@gmeinerartculturalcenter.org or calling 570-724-1917. This series of classes is intended to greatly develop the students’ ability to use watercolors, and is open to students who took the beginner class or who have previous experience with watercolors. It is limited to 12 participants. The first class will start with a review of basic techniques, and then participants will practice various watercolor techniques over the course of the three days using a variety of subject matter. Students will paint a mostly white still life creating depth and shadows without using black. They will paint a floral design and learn about color glazing with watercolors, and they will complete an abstract design.
The Gmeiner is located at 134 Main Street, Wellsboro, behind the Green Free Library. Students should park on Main Street in front of the library.
