SUMMARY:Mary Wise’s “Art From My Heart” Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce an opening reception for a new Main Gallery exhibit for January 2024\, Mary Wise’s “Art From My Heart.” Mary is best known for her intricately painted Christmas ornaments\, but she also works in glass\, clay\, fiber\, altered books and more. Join us in celebrating a retrospective of a lifetime’s worth of artwork by Mary at the opening reception on Saturday\, January 13th from 2-4PM. Family\, friends\, and former students are all cordially invited. Light refreshments will be served at the reception\, which is free and open to the public. Mary will give an artist’s talk at 3PM. This exhibit will be on display in the Atrium Gallery from January 13 through February 4.\nMary Janeski Wise is originally from Antrim. She graduated from Wellsboro Area High School in 1970\, and then received a Bachelors in Home Economics from Mansfield College in 1974. Mary taught Home Economics in the Milton Area School District for 32 years and is very proud of the excellent culinary arts program that she helped build there. Mary has always been interested in art. When she was young\, she loved everything from Van Gogh to the photographs in Game News magazine. When she was teaching\, Mary always volunteered to chaperone trips to museums with the art teacher.\nMary’s journey as an artist began with a desire to paint on cookies. Unsure of her own skills\, she signed up for a tole painting class at the Ben Franklin store in Clarkstown. This class was so popular\, it took her three years to get into it. Mary fell in love with the technique of tole painting. She found it relaxing\, and was overjoyed at being able to finish a project quickly. Soon she was doing craft shows in the Milton area\, mostly painting on wooden objects. Customer requests for glass ornaments led her to take a class on Victorian style lace painting from the PA Mountain Laurel Decorative Painters group in Hughesville. After she retired from teaching\, Mary came back to her hometown. She was encouraged by Charlie Messina to make an annual Wellsboro-themed Christmas ornament\, which she has sold for years at the annual Dickens celebration.\nMary has become very involved in the arts since her retirement. She joined the Wellsboro Art Club about 10 years ago\, and has served as both Vice President and President of that group. She participates in their annual exhibit at the Gmeiner\, helps with receptions\, and has painted many chairs for the biannual “Chair-ity” auction. Mary created a yearly scholarship in memory of her uncle Paul F. Janeski who was a World War II veteran and an artist who specialized in lettering. It is awarded to the Wellsboro High School art student with the best work ethic. Mary has also volunteered with the Wellsboro Glass Historical Association\, and painted one of Hamilton Gibson’s pianos. She also currently volunteers as a docent at the Gmeiner and is on the Art Takeaway Packet committee for Art’s Friends which makes free kits with supplies and instructions for art projects that are given away to children who visit the Gmeiner each month. Mary frequently leads free classes for children in the Studio at the Gmeiner as well. If you can’t find her here at the Gmeiner\, you might see her working on a painting at her other favorite place in town – Dunkin Donuts!

SUMMARY:“Canvas and Clay: Crafting Natures Carbon Story Through Fungi”
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce an opening reception for a new Atrium Gallery exhibit for January 2024. “Canvas and Clay: Crafting Natures Carbon Story Through Fungi” will be an exhibit of acrylic paintings and clay sculptures by children participating in This Is My Quest\, Inc’s outdoor programs. This unique showcase blends the intricate beauty of fungi\, a critical component in Earth’s carbon cycle\, with the creative expressions of canvas and clay. Join us in appreciating nature’s unseen heroes through the eyes of our future conservationists and artists. This exhibit will be on display in the Atrium Gallery from January 13 through February 4. The opening reception will be held on Saturday\, January 13th from 2-4PM. Light refreshments will be served at the reception\, which is free and open to the public.\n“Canvas and Clay” is more than an art exhibit; it’s a conversation starter about the importance of all elements of nature in the balance of our planet. This exhibit not only celebrates the artistic talents of our youth but also serves as an educational journey into the microscopic world of fungi and their impact on our environment. Through their art\, TIMQ’s young artists explore the pivotal role of fungi in our ecosystems\, highlighting their fascinating fruits\, textures\, and colors. Each piece tells a part of a carbon story\, illustrating how these often-overlooked organisms contribute to carbon sequestration and soil health. Many of the items in this exhibit will be for sale. The proceeds of the sales will go back to TIMQ’s junior board to fund future projects for the children.\nThis Is My Quest\, Inc. is a forward-thinking non-profit organization founded with a passion for nature conservation\, outdoor education\, and community engagement. Established with the vision of connecting people\, especially youth\, with the natural world\, This Is My Quest has become a beacon of environmental stewardship and outdoor learning. At its core\, the organization seeks to inspire and educate individuals about conserving natural resources\, understanding wildlife\, and embracing sustainable living practices. Through diverse programs\, including wilderness survival courses\, environmental workshops\, wildlife conservation projects\, and community initiatives\, This Is My Quest provides hands-on experiences that foster a deep respect and love for nature.\nKey to its mission is the empowerment of young people. This Is My Quest offers youth-centric programs that encourage exploration\, adventure\, and learning in the great outdoors. These initiatives are designed to educate and build leadership skills\, self-confidence\, and a sense of responsibility towards the environment. Moreover\, This Is My Quest is active in community outreach\, collaborating with local schools\, environmental experts\, and other organizations to broaden its impact. Through these partnerships\, the organization has successfully brought ecological awareness to the forefront of community consciousness. This collaboration with the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is just another step in spreading awareness. In summary\, This Is My Quest\, Inc. is a testament to the power of education\, adventure\, and community in shaping a more environmentally conscious and engaged society. It continues to grow and evolve\, driven by its unwavering commitment to making the world a better place through the lens of environmental stewardship.

SUMMARY:Martin Luther King Jr program
DESCRIPTION:At 7 p.m. on Monday\, Jan. 15\, two area choral groups\, two soloists and local speakers will explore the mission of Martin Luther King\, Jr. at the Wellsboro High School Auditorium at 227 Nichols Street in Wellsboro. Donations �will be accepted at the door.\n\n\n“Area citizens will share short insights of ways we can connect with others with kindness and respect\,” Putnam said. They include newly elected Tioga County Commissioners Shane Nickerson\, Sam VanLoon and Marc Rice; The Rev. Dr. A. Michele Somerville; Candice Chase; Lenore Hosier and Roger Wagner.\n\n\nThe Hamilton-Gibson Treble Choir will sing “Hold Fast to Dreams” with words by Langston Hughes and the spiritual “Over My Head.” Local a cappella group Pine Pitch will sing “Because All Men Are Brothers” and ‘Imagine.” Singers Logan Route and Molly Cary\, both of Wellsboro\, will perform solos. �\n\n\nDr. King was an American Baptist minister\, a nonviolent activist and the most visible spokesperson and leader in the Civil Rights Movement from 1955 until his assassination in Memphis\, Tennessee on April 4\,1968. He led the fight against segregation to gain equal rights under United States law for � African Americans.�\n\n\nBoth houses of Congress passed the bill to establish Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day in 1983 and President Reagan signed it into law on Nov. 20 of that year. This federal holiday has been observed to mark King’s birthday\, his life and achievements on the third Monday of January each year since 1986. This year\, Martin Luther King\, Jr. Day is Jan. 15. � �\n\n\n“Sadly\, intolerance of anyone different from ourselves seems to just be part of our human nature\,” said Thomas Putnam\, Hamilton-Gibson Productions artistic director. “Because Tioga County is isolated in many ways and homogenous in many others\, we find that lack of exposure to other races and cultural traditions may further this intolerance of the ‘other.’\n\n\n“Our goal is to generate dialogue between ourselves and others–especially those we disagree with–in order to become more open and hospitable\, and to honor the dignity of every woman\, man\, and child we encounter. It all boils down to basic human kindness\, and the universal intention of treating others as we would like to be treated\,” said Putnam.

The basic times are 3:45 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. \nThe Winter Theatre Arts Camps are offered at no cost to campers due to generous grants from the Deerfield Charitable Trust and UPMC Wellsboro.
