SUMMARY:A GATHERING OF GLASS EVENT AT THE GMEINER
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce a reception for the Wellsboro Glass Historical Association “A Gathering of Glass: The Next Chapter.” This event will take place on Saturday\, February 24th from 6:30-8:30PM at the Gmeiner located at 134 Main Street in Wellsboro\, behind the Green Free Library.  The reception is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be available. \nThe Wellsboro Glass Historical Association is dedicated to preserving the history of Wellsboro’s important role in glass manufacturing. Wellsboro was the site of Corning Glass Works’ first satellite factory\, which opened in 1916. Although it went through several other owners\, it remained open for nearly 100 years. This factory is the birthplace of the famous “ribbon machines” which revolutionized modern glassmaking. When the factory closed\, those ribbon machines were first shipped away\, and then scheduled for demolition. Thanks to a social media post by Ryan Root\, a former mechanic at the factory\, a groundswell of interest in saving the machines arose\, permissions were granted\, funds were raised\, the machines were rescued from the scrapyard\, and brought back home to Wellsboro. \nThis event will serve as a “thank you!” from current members of WGHA to the generous individuals and organizations who helped rescue and preserve the ribbon machines\, such as Shawn Bryant\, GROW\, the DeCamp family\, the Packer Foundation\, the Dunham Foundation\, the Sweet Foundation\, the Etner Foundation\, Joe Shabloski\, Home Page Network\, Charlie Messina and Ben Stambaugh. \nSome of the objects in the WGHA’s collection will be on display for the evening\, and members of WGHA will show how they are currently caring for and archiving those objects. Guests will also have the opportunity to paint their own glass ornament\, led by the steady hand of Mary Wise in the Studio.  This reception is also a chance to let the public know about WGHA’s future plans. Members will share their vision for a permanent museum to house the ribbon machines and other artifacts collected in the last few years. Come find out what the future holds for Wellsboro’s glass manufacturing history!

SUMMARY:FORTIFIED EXHIBIT
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is excited to announce an opening reception for the February 2024 Main Gallery exhibit\, “Fortified” by members of the Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Visual Arts.  Over the course of the past few years\, the campuses of Mansfield\, Lock Haven\, and Bloomsburg Universities have gone through a process of integration\, creating the Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania. The art faculty members from the three campuses have taken this as a chance to draw strength from each other\, to fortify the Department of Visual Arts into a great resource for all of rural central Pennsylvania. This exhibit features photographs\, paintings\, sculptures\, ceramics\, prints\, fiber\, and mixed media from many of the professors at the three campuses. The opening reception will be held on Saturday\, February 10th from 2-4PM. Light refreshments will be served at the reception\, which is free and open to the public. \nThe Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania Department of Visual Arts presents a vast array of disciplinary tracks with works by Chad Andrews\, Alan Bennett\, Jason Bronner\, Kenneth Cobb\, Meredith Grimsley\, Vince Hron\, Dave Kube\, Ron Lambert\, Michelle Lockwood\, Vance McCoy\, and John McKaig. Each of the faculty members has selected several artworks created within the past five years to exhibit at the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center with examples in Drawing\, Ceramics\, Fabric Design\, Graphic Design\, Mixed Media\, Painting\, Photography\, Printmaking\, and Sculpture being presented. The variety of styles and disciplines is a delight to see all together in the Gmeiner’s open floor gallery setting and highlights the strength of the newly formed Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania Department of Visual Arts offerings and its talented faculty. \nThe faculty members at the Commonwealth’s three campuses strive to develop tomorrow’s artists while continuing to hone their own craft. Working in a wide range of media\, they explore themes of identity\, culture\, and place with the pieces in this exhibit. Visitors to the exhibit will be treated to cutting edge examples of artistic expression. Many of the faculty members will be at the opening reception\, if visitors would like to speak with them individually about their work. \nThe Gmeiner is open from 12-6PM Tuesdays through Sundays and is located at 134 Main Street in Wellsboro behind the Green Free Library. Admission to the gallery is free. For further information contact Carrie at 570-724-1917 or director@gmeinerartculturalcenter.org.

SUMMARY:IN AWE OF ENGLAND EXHIBIT
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce an opening reception for a new Atrium Gallery exhibit for February 2024. “In Awe of England\, But Happy to be Home” is an exhibit of pastels by Wanda Short of Stony Fork.  The pieces in this exhibit were inspired by Wanda’s recent tour of the British countryside with a knitting group. The opening reception will be held on Saturday\, February 10th from 2-4PM. Light refreshments\, including desserts from Yorkshire Meadows\, will be served at the reception\, which is free and open to the public. \nWanda Short is originally from downstate Pennsylvania. She attended Mansfield College from 1964-1968\, graduating with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Art. She moved back to the area in the early 2000s\, first to Galeton\, and then settling in the village of Stony Fork. Wanda has tried her hand at many different media\, but has always loved pastels which bridge the divide between drawing and painting. Wanda studied pastel portraiture with Leo Gilroy in Hershey. She does still create some portraits; however\, her more recent work has focused on landscapes. \nWhen she traveled to Great Britain in May of 2023\, Wanda was awed by the beauty of the country. The Cotswalds are considered an “Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty” in England\, a land of rolling green hills and picturesque towns built of golden stone. Wanda hopes that visitors to her exhibit will be similarly inspired to see the beauty in simple things like a fence\, a fountain\, and the neighbor’s dog. Whether you are venturing out into the world\, or simply appreciating the wonders of your neighborhood\, there is beauty to be found all around us. This exhibit will be on display in the Atrium Gallery from February 10 through March 3. \nThe Gmeiner is open from 12-6PM Tuesdays through Sundays and is located at 134 Main Street in Wellsboro behind the Green Free Library. Admission to the gallery is free.

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: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!

DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is thrilled to announce a continuing education opportunity offered by Phil and Nancy Hesser\, the Kelsey Academy of Tioga (KAT)\, a one-week program of talks on a variety of subjects to promote lifelong learning for our neighbors by our neighbors.\nKAT’s inaugural program will offer 12 sessions showcasing the experiences and ideas of a cross-section of people in the county. On Nov. 6\, 7\, 9 and 10\, the talks will take place in the studio of the Gmeiner Art and Cultural Center in Wellsboro and on Nov. 8 at the History Center on Main Street in Mansfield.\nTopics will include history and heritage\, writing\, gardening\, filmmaking\, health\, nature\, science and journalism. All sessions are free with no reservations needed.\n“The Kelsey Academy of Tioga takes its name and purpose from two generations of the Kelsey family\,” Phil said. “From ‘Squire’ Daniel Kelsey\, one of the founders of the Wellsboro Academy\, we learned about the borough creating its first school as a community venture. Anna Kelsey\, Daniel’s daughter\, who taught at Mansfield Normal School\, founded one of the state’s first kindergartens\, and served as a missionary in Alaska\, reminded us of Tioga County’s long history of people sharing their experience and knowledge.”\n“So in the spirit of Daniel and Anna Kelsey\, as well as the Wellsboro Chautauqua\, which held one-week programs here between 1916 and 1929\, we invited our new neighbors and acquaintances to give talks at the first Kelsey Academy\,” Nancy said. “We’ve been very happy\, but not surprised\, with the positive response.”\nFor further information email kelseyacademytioga@yahoo.com or tioga.lifelonglearning@yahoo.com.

SUMMARY:Seasons of the Soul Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce the November Main Gallery exhibit “Seasons of the Soul” photography by Shannon Davis. It will open with a reception from 2-4PM on Saturday\, November 4th. The reception is free and open to the public\, and light refreshments will be served. This is Shannon’s first solo exhibit. It includes color\, black and white\, and kaleidoscopic photos. It will be on display until Sunday\, November 26th.\nShannon graduated from Wellsboro High School in 1999 and has been taking photographs since her early teens. She loved photography class and developing her own photos in high school. Shannon has always taken tons of photos\, even back in the old film days. She has spent the last twenty years working in Ansonia for the Mountain Trail Horse Center\, the Burning Barrel Bar\, Pine Creek Outfitters\, and currently Ole’ Covered Wagon Tours as a driver. Her work in the beautiful Pine Creek Valley has given her access to many unique perspectives and situations.\nShannon’s “Seasons of the Soul” display is a collection of images from the last decade – usually just a moment in time in the superfast pace of life. Shannon finds that the little things can hold the most beauty. Most of her photographs are taken using that camera we all have these days – a cell phone. Shannon states that it seems sometimes the season of change is the only constant. Shannon’s photography can be seen on Facebook or Instagram under Grand Shanyon Photography.\n\nhttps://gmeinerartculturalcenter.org/upcoming-events/
