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!

SUMMARY:Veterans Masks Class

Each veteran will be given a mask and a variety of art materials to create their own “mask” to bring their inner thoughts to light.

SUMMARY:Kelsey Academy of Tioga
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:Kelsey Academy of Tioga
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/

SUMMARY:Zart: The Art of Everything from Z to A\, and A to Z
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is thrilled to announce a book sale\, signing\, and performance by Michael Biddison on “Zart: The Art of Everything from Z to A\, and A to Z” on Friday\, October 20th from 7-9PM. Admission is free and open to the public. Michael will be playing some music\, sharing some thoughts and pieces from the book at 7:30 for about 45 minutes. Come by a little earlier to say hello and thumb through a copy\, or stay a little later. He hopes to see many old friends and fellow creatives who are interested in the art of everything. Michael says that this book has a number if chapters in it that are love letters to Wellsboro and its creative treasures. He hopes you find them. \n  \nZart is a 404-page full color adventure in multi-media playing\, in the form of a book. It is impossible to categorize\, sometimes humorous\, sometimes pensive. Michael calls it an “automythography” because it is a mostly autobiographical project that takes liberties in combining his imagery\, origin stories\, lyrics\, and links to his music. It is all meant to be a pondering on how the creative life can be potentially radically inclusive. Michael says\, “I have found that what many people expect from art sells short of what it can do to feed and connect us to ourselves and to each other. To see my work\, my family\, our community\, my home and gardens as creative opportunities\, I can make life in general more beautiful\, adventuresome. I can experience people and situations with more awareness and openness. I can give myself permission to enjoy some things I might not have\, were I not to assume that there’s opportunity awaiting everywhere and in every being and thing.” \nMichael Biddison is a 1978 Wellsboro High School graduate. He has been a part of numerous group and solo shows of his visual work at the Gmeiner Art center since his teens. In 2015\, he was part of the three-person show with local art luminaries Tucker Worthington and Dale Witherow. He has also written and performed music since the mid 1970’s with bands such as Ticapoo Brain\, Space Goop\, Neo Pseudo and the Llama Dalis.  Michael feels fortunate to have grown up in this town surrounded by natural beauty and so many people in all walks of creative life. Starting with Alice Mickey’s art classes\, Pat Davis’s musical offerings\, and a host of creative spirits and coaches such as Tucker Worthington\, Steve and Rita Bower\, Dale Witherow\, Warren Goodrich… as well as his creative contemporaries. \nMichael currently lives near Pottstown\, PA between creeks and a cornfield. He continues to show and perform\, while also sharing his most recent visual works and music primarily in a combined gallery and performance space called “The Bungalow” in Kimberton\, PA. In addition to his more obviously art-related works\, for the past 25 years Michael has worked as a restoration carpenter throughout the Philadelphia region. In his restoration work\, he has found a surprising source for funky tools\, old and worn materials\, and a deep appreciation of craft\, history and functional invention. In restoring challenging architectural timepieces he has come to see restoration\, and sometimes re-invention\, as a form of sculpting. In this way\, Michael has accidentally found that far from being a distraction to his creative work\, the “ordinary life” is anything but ordinary and that this is what feeds and gives roots to his arts. Work\, family\, community\, and making a home is part and parcel of his art. And so there it is… “Zart\, an art of everything” \nFor those who want to experience the book without becoming a collector\, Michael has donated a copy to the Green Free Library. You can find out more about Michael and his work at I-zarts.com. For further information about the presentation or the Gmeiner\, contact Carrie at 570-724-1917 or director@gmeinerartculturalcenter.org.

SUMMARY:We Did It Our Way Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce the Wellsboro Art Club’s annual exhibit. The club member’s “We Did It Our Way” exhibit which emphasizes the members individuality will be on display in the Main Gallery from October 7 – October 29.  The exhibit will open with a free reception for the public on Saturday\, October 7th  from 2-4PM with refreshments provided by the art club members\, and a little entertainment for guests as well. Wellsboro Art Club members work in a wide variety of mediums\, including watercolors\, acrylics\, glass\, fiber\, jewelry\, sculpture\, ceramics\, and mixed media. This incredibly creative group never fails to please with their show. \nThe Wellsboro Art Club first formed in 1948 with a group of local painters who wanted to work and learn together. Over the years\, the group expanded to include crafts as well as fine arts. The Wellsboro Art Club meets formally at 10 AM on the first Thursday of each month in the Studio at the Gmeiner. They have informal studio time the 2nd\, 3rd\, and 4th Thursday of each month from 10AM – noon. \nWhen the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center first opened in 1969\, members of the Wellsboro Art Club served as “hostesses” (now called docents) during public showings of Mr. Gmeiner’s works\, and began to arrange for exhibits of other local artists and area children. Since the art club has long had such a close association with our founder\, it only made sense to also display some of Arthur Gmeiner’s works during the month of October in the Atrium gallery. The focus of this exhibit will be on “He Did It His Way” and will focus on Mr. Gmeiner’s individuality. Some of his quirkier artworks and those that show his sense of humor will be displayed. \nThe Gmeiner is located at 134 Main Street\, Wellsboro\, behind the Green Free Library. We are open from 12-6PM Tuesday through Sunday and admission to the gallery is always free. This display is appropriate for all ages\, and there will be a scavenger hunt activity for children.

SUMMARY:Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild 25th Anniversary Bed Turning
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce the 25th anniversary this September of The Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild (MLQG)\, which meets monthly at the Gmeiner. As part of that celebration\, the members of MLQG are planning a bed turning event to take place at the Gmeiner on Friday\, September 29th at 7:00 PM and on Saturday\, September 30th at 1:00 PM. What is a bed turning? It’s basically a quilt show in an hour! The selected quilts which are stacked on a bed are turned over one at a time while a member explains and describes them. \nAt the 25th anniversary bed turning\, the guild will highlight quilts made by some of its charter members and presidents\, as well as some past raffle quilts made over the years by many members of the guild. The audience will hear the stories behind the quilts and what inspired the quiltmakers to make them. There will be quilts of all styles\, colors\, and fabrics\, from traditional to modern. \nThis should be a fun and inspirational event for quilters and non-quilters alike\, so be sure to mark your calendars and tell your friends. The bed turning is free and light refreshments will be served. \nTo learn more about the Mountain Laurel Quilt Guild\, check out their blog at mountainlaurelquiltguild.blogspot.com. The Gmeiner is located at 134 Main Street\, Wellsboro\, behind the Green Free Library. We are open from 12-6PM Tuesday through Sunday and admission to the gallery is always free.

SUMMARY:Finding The Right Word Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce the return of local favorites Steve and Rita Bower for a Main Gallery exhibit titled “Finding the Right Word.” This exhibit will include new acrylic paintings\, monoprints\, clay sculptures\, altered books\, drawings\, and mixed media pieces from the couple. The artists say\, “We have new pieces of art that tell something about our inner journey in expressing ourselves.  The mediums speak to us in voices that lead us to the new destinations. We hope to share these ‘travels’ with friends and family.” The exhibit will open on Saturday\, September 9th with a reception from 2-4PM. The reception is free and open to the public\, and light refreshments will be provided. Steve and Rita hope to see many old friends and students at the reception. \nSteve and Rita Bower both attended Mansfield University earning B.S. and Master’s Degrees in Art Education.  Rita Bower taught art for thirty-five years in the Southern Tioga School District. Rita loves using a variety of art mediums and techniques to express herself in her art-making. She draws inspiration from traveling\, study\, sharing ideas\, and the connectedness of these in everyday living. Rita participates in juried\, group and individual shows\, as well as teaching student and adult art classes. She loves to learn by doing and to see what the materials around her want to become. \nBoth Rita and Steve are now retired from teaching full time and together they have continued to create and exhibit their artwork professionally. Steve worked in different school districts\, including Southern Tioga. From 2001 to 2008\, Steve also served as an adjunct professor at Mansfield University teaching Drawing and Water Base Media. Steve worked successfully as a professional artist for fifteen years\, exhibiting his paintings in the American Watercolor Society as well as numerous national and regional exhibitions. In recent years\, Steve turned his attention to creating ceramic and steel sculptures and acrylic paintings. Steve considers his career to be a long and consistent pursuit of excellence and the drive to explore and take risks. \nThis display is appropriate for all ages\, and there will be a scavenger hunt activity for children. The Gmeiner is located at 134 Main Street\, Wellsboro\, behind the Green Free Library. We are open from 12-6PM Tuesday through Sunday and admission to the gallery is always free.
