Exhibits
Anne Kenyon
Anne Kenyon is an artist who has worked in a variety of media,
including watercolor, handmade paper, pastel and printmaking. The work
in this show reflects that diversity of media, sometimes using a mixed
media approach and sometimes creating the same image in a variety of
media. The chosen media affects the finished piece and the image can
change substantially if rendered in pastel versus printmaking.
Cheri Yarnell
Cheri's work in porcelain and stoneware clay reflects her respect for
the natural world of plants and animals. She creates a variety of
forms that feature animals in the form of carvings and sgrafitto as
well pieces which have been impressed with plant material. Each year
she completes a limited edition series entitles "One The Edge". This
year’s series includes elephant, rhinos and whales.
Lisa Dawn White
Lisa has always been inspired by nature and its expression in the
landscape. She is compelled to create botanical arts in multiple
mediums including collage, acrylic painting, sun-painting, handmade
papermaking, jewelry, and most recently, through ecoprinted textiles.
The work on display in the Gallery Shop this month focuses on her
botanical collage jewelry line, and her new botanically printed (e.g.,
ecoprinted and medium printed) garments and accessories.

Although many things are different this year, organizers of the Central PA 4thFest have adapted celebrations for Independence Day to take social-distancing guidelines into consideration while still keeping the spirit of the holiday alive. Fireworks will now be set off in multiple locations throughout State College as opposed to a singular location to encourage viewers to celebrate the nation’s birthday safely.
Another event that is evolving for these unprecedented times is the annual Independence Day Parade. 4thFest wants YOU to be a part of the parade this year. We are asking community members and organizations to take about 20 seconds of footage showing individuals “parading” at their own homes. Decorated bikes, twirling routines, enthusiastic marching - use your imagination! You’ll submit these videos through our website and on Facebook using #4thfestparade.
