SUMMARY:“SKETCHES OF AMERICAN HORSE-RACING FASHION”
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is delighted to announce the Main Gallery exhibit for July\, a retrospective of 30 years of millinery by Christine Moore titled “Sketches of American Horse-Racing Fashion.” Christine is the featured milliner of the Kentucky Derby and the official milliner of the Breeder’s Cup. While her hats have received an enormous amount of press\, the sketches and process behind them have not been seen by the public before. This exhibit will open on Saturday\, July 13th with a reception from 2-4PM. The reception is free and open to the public\, who are invited to come enjoy light refreshments and meet the artist. This exhibit will remain on display until Sunday\, August 4th. \nChristine Moore grew up in Telford\, Pennsylvania\, but has spent every summer of her life in Wellsboro. Her father bought property near Hills Creek State Park in 1960 that she and her husband Blake built a small off-the-grid cabin on in 2006. In 2022 they bought an old house in downtown Wellsboro and split their time between that house and New York City\, where Christine’s studio is located. Christine credits nature as the inspiration for her designs. The trim in her designs comes from nature’s beautiful flowers\, leaves\, the shapes of trees\, and many other natural wonders. The changing of the seasons\, a bright sunny day\, or a cloudy storm can all have an impact on her choice of color palettes. \nChristine started her career as a costume designer and worked in costume shops in regional theaters including Philadelphia’s Walnut Street Theatre\, Buffalo’s Studio Arena Theatre\, and the Alabama Shakespeare Festival\, to name a few. Her theater experience taught her the choices and use of fabrics for hats\, hand sewing\, machine skills\, and how to collaborate with clients and store owners. She learned the art of millinery in the mid ’80s when she started assisting a milliner at the Walnut Street Theatre and immediately loved the curling of feathers and the crazy trims that were added to theater hats. In 1988 Christine moved to New York City to work for esteemed milliner Rodney Gordon\, who was making hats for all the Broadway Shows at that time like Phantom of the Opera\, Crazy for You\, The Will Rogers Follies\, and many others. \n  \nShe started her own fashion business in 1994 in NYC when she designed a collection and took them to stores in a drum case that her mom had covered in fabric. Two stores bought—Henri Bendel in NYC and Joan Shepp in Philadelphia. Christine now sells to over 35 stores throughout the country. In 2004 she was invited to do a trunk show at a store in Louisville for the Kentucky Derby and showed up with all the wrong styles except for an over-the-top very wide brim hat that two customers tussled over. It was then that she realized what the “Derby style” was\, and realized if she designed extravagant wide brimmed pieces with the addition of elegance\, her creativity would have no bounds! The horse racing world took notice\, and in 2018\, Christine was honored as the first ever featured milliner of the Kentucky Derby\, a distinction she has held ever since. \nThis exhibit is a retrospective of Christine’s Derby work as well as other collections that she designs on a yearly basis. The exhibit is a view into the design process and business model that she began developing in New York City in 1994. This is the first time these sketches will be viewed by the public. Sketches are drawn for clients who have placed a special order for a one-of-a-kind hat for a race or special event including the Kentucky Derby\, Preakness\, Belmont\, Ascot\, Breeders’ Cup\, garden parties\, Mardi Gras\, weddings\, luncheons\, Halloween\, and others. Christine’s hats have been worn by famous actresses\, models\, and musicians\, but only the lucky visitors to the Gmeiner this summer will get to see all of these examples of her sketches and hats gathered in one place. \nChristine Moore’s hats can be seen at www.camhats.com and on her Facebook page. \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. \n

SUMMARY:“A SLICE OF LIFE” EXHIBIT AT THE GMEINER
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce a new Atrium Gallery exhibit “A Slice of Life” featuring watercolors by Corning artist\, Lee O’Connell. The exhibit will open on Friday\, June 14th with a reception from 6-8PM. The reception is free and open to the public\, who are invited to come meet the artist. This exhibit will remain on display until Sunday\, July 7th. Lee says of the exhibit\, “This show is inspired by my love of noticing the little things that inspire me to take note.  Whether it’s a person\, a flower\, a bird… be there a shaft of light that attracts my attention\, or colors screaming for me to paint them\, or maybe just a quiet little moment that makes me think\, any and all can inspire my art.” \nLee O’Connell is primarily a watercolor artist who dabbles in oils. She began her artistic career after retiring as Director of Admissions\, from Chemung Valley Montessori School in Big Flats.  Lee is a self-taught painter\, though truly that is a misnomer as there have been many teachers in her life.  Lee has always had a creative soul\, though\, even if she does not have formal training.

SUMMARY:“The Pa Wilds by Day and Night” photography by Curt Weinhold
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is pleased to announce the extension of our current Atrium Gallery exhibit “The PA Wilds by Day and Night.” This exhibit is by Curt Weinhold\, a photographer from Coudersport who is well-known for his photographs of the Dark Skies\, as well as local nature scenes. This exhibit will remain on display until Sunday\, June 2nd. Curt says of the exhibit\, “I see my photos as a way to show a piece of the natural world\, encouraging others to appreciate and preserve these resources.” \nCurt Weinhold is originally from Lancaster County\, but after visiting Potter and Tioga counties as a teenager\, decided he wanted to move here. He has lived in Coudersport for more than half his life. When he wasn’t at his 40 hour per week day job\, Curt started taking wedding photographs and doing portrait sessions in his home studio. However\, it was always the outdoors that called to him and his camera. \nCurt has been promoting the special places of northcentral Pennsylvania with photography for many years. Though he traveled to many National Parks\, Curt has always been most passionate about the beauties of what’s now known as the PA Wilds. He enjoys the photographic adventure of searching for wildlife\, wildflowers\, waterfalls and the starry night skies. He wants to show all subjects in the best light\, or the best darkness in the case of the night sky. During the dark of the moon\, Curt often teaches nightscape photography classes at Cherry Springs State Park in Potter County. The darkest place on the East Coast is a magnet for many stargazers. \nAll of his photos in this exhibit are for sale. Some are framed under glass\, and others are printed on canvas. Curt has also brought many prints of his photos\, offering a variety of price points. His photos are also for sale in the Potter County Artisan Center in Coudersport\, where he teaches classes.

SUMMARY:SURREAL SPACES EXHIBIT
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is thrilled to announce a new Main Gallery exhibit for May “Surreal Spaces” paintings by Anna Lee Hafer. This is Anna Lee’s first exhibit at the Gmeiner\, and we are thrilled to introduce her to a new audience. This exhibit open with a free reception for the public on Saturday\, May 11th from 2-4PM and will remain on display until Sunday\, June 2nd. \nAnna Lee Hafer is originally from Williamsport\, but currently works from a studio in Wayne\, PA. She graduated from Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester\, NY in 2019 with a Bachelor of Science in Fine Art. She relocated to the Philadelphia area to pursue a graduate degree at Temple University and career in studio art. Anna Lee has exhibited at the Finger Lakes Art Series\, the Macfadden Gallery\, NY\, at Lycoming Arts in Williamsport\, PA\, the Rochester Contemporary Art Center\, the Davison Art Gallery\, NY\, Still Point Arts Quarterly Mixing Mediums Show\, the Rush Law Group in PA\, and Roberts Wesleyan College\, NY. Anna Lee has also received a Standard of Excellence Award from the New York State Art Teachers’ Association. \nHer work is heavily influenced by such famous surrealist painters as René Magritte\, Salvador Dali\, and Pablo Picasso\, all of whom strove to build their own realities through small glimpses into a particularly confusing\, but utterly unique worldview that dictates its own specific set of instructions. With references to the laws and physics of Alice’s Wonderland\, the artist challenges the audience’s inherent understanding of perspective\, reality\, and universal order. \nIn her work\, Hafer pours and layers paint to create dimension and texture\, mixing different styles and colors onto each other until they produce a 3D effect. Through marker and pencil that create shadow\, she further enhances these forms and separates them from the background. Heavier layers and thicker brushstrokes in the foreground of her work push the painting toward the viewer\, whereas the thinner layers and small brushstrokes in the background\, elongate the space and push away from the viewer. By juxtaposing interior and exterior elements\, Hafer makes the audience question whether they are looking at something inside or outside. \nOn the last day of the exhibit\, June 2nd at 4PM\, Anna Lee and her mother\, the poet Marjorie Maddox\, will give a presentation on Marjorie’s collection of ekphrastic poetry “In the Museum of My Daughter’s Mind.” This book is based on the experiences of the mother-daughter duo on a rainy-day excursion to the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore\, Maryland\, where\, as never before\, they realized how their passions for art and poetry intersect. Anna Lee’s artwork is featured in the book\, which will be available for purchase at the Gmeiner throughout the exhibit. \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:CONTEMPORARY BLACKSMITH AND PRIMITIVE PAINTER EXHIBIT
DESCRIPTION:The Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center is very pleased to announce a new Main Gallery exhibit for May featuring husband and wife artists Anthony and Lisa Arkus. Anthony is a contemporary blacksmith and Lisa paints in a quirky primitive style. Locals and visitors may have seen the Arkus’ work at the Laurel Festival or other regional festivals. This exhibit open with a free reception for the public on Saturday\, May 11th from 2-4PM. Light refreshments will be served. This exhibit will only be on display until Sunday\, May 26th. \nLisa and Anthony Arkus live in the mountains of Potter County\, PA with their 2 cats. Lisa was introduced to art at a very early age with an abundance of art supplies and the freedom to create\, which has been a large influence on the self-taught artist she has become.  When Lisa began selling her art full time 25 years ago\, painting was her main medium. She has since begun adding vintage and handmade papers\, along with other mediums. Each piece Lisa creatse is a story in its own right\, a testament to innocence\, the magic of childhood\, and the world of make-believe.   In her spare time Lisa tends to her amazing flower gardens\, which are a source of inspiration for her artwork. \nAnthony began as an apprentice in Vermont in the 1970s\, where he was trained in traditional blacksmithing. Anthony then began his own shop\, creating original designs. Anthony is a full-time blacksmith. creating both functional and sculptural pieces. His original designs are inspired by nature and expressed in metal by hand forging using both ancient and modern tools and techniques\, creating a harmony of design and function. He uses raw materials such as steel\, copper\, and brass\, in bar stock\, sheets\, and plates which are shaped and formed with a coal and propane forge. \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:Wednesday Morning Musicales Present the Music and Marvels of Ancient Egypt
DESCRIPTION:See the sights of Egypt without leaving Wellsboro. Margery Hoffman and her sister Judith Artley of Framingham\, Mass.\, will present a program for Wednesday Morning Musicales on April 10 at 10:15 a.m. at the Gmeiner Art & Cultural Center about their 2023 trip to Egypt.\nThe presentation will consist of slides and recorded Nubian music. They will show the ancient sites of this exotic country and introduce some of the ancient musical instruments used to worship the gods.\nThe travelogue will start near Cairo\, at the Pyramids in Dahshur and Giza\, before flying to Luxor to uncover the Valley of the Kings and tour the temples of Luxor and Karnak and Dendera.\nIt’s at the Dendera complex that the audience will be introduced to ancient instruments and the goddess Hathor as well as the dwarf god Bes\, as documented on the temple walls. They will travel by river boat upstream on the Nile River to Aswan to partake in high tea at the Old Cataract Hotel where Agatha Christie was inspired to write “Death on the Nile.”\nNext\, is Nubian music played by instruments documented in Egypt as early as 1300 BC. The mizmar\, a double-reeded woodwind\, is very foreign to western ears. The final stop is the Philae Temple\, relocated between the low dam and the high dam. Like Dendera\, this temple also devoted to worshipping Hathor and Bes.\nThe trip continues to Abu Simbel Temple near the Sudanese boarder to hear a Nubian folk band sing about the displacement of families due to the building of the high dam and Lake Nassar.\nThe Musicales meets on the second Wednesday of each month\, September through May. The organization was formed in 1934 to promote interest in music among its members and in the community. Each meeting showcases local talent. All events are free and open to the public.

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.
