Under the Same Sky
2026-06-04 11:00 - 2026-07-05 18:00 | Artists’ Gallery, 18 Bridge St, Lambertville, NJ, 08530, United States
Beatrice Bork and Joe Kazimierczyk
June 4 to July 5, 2026
Meet the Artists Reception: Saturday, June 13, 5-7 pm
This June, Artists’ Gallery invites viewers to step into the shared world of two artists whose work is inspired by time spent outdoors. Under the Same Sky brings together the evocative wildlife paintings of Beatrice Bork and the atmospheric landscapes of Joe Kazimierczyk, offering complementary visions of the places they both cherish.
For anyone who enjoys birdwatching, walking woodland trails, or simply spending time in the natural world, this exhibition offers a chance to slow down and look more closely. Though their subjects differ—Bork’s intimate portrayals of birds and wildlife and Kazimierczyk’s expansive vistas—their art converges in a celebration of the land, water, and sky that connect them. Often drawn to the same haunts, the artists reveal how a single environment can inspire vastly different yet harmonious interpretations.

Visions of America Exhibition Opening Reception
2026-06-05 16:00 - 20:00 | Hicks Art Center Gallery, 275 Swamp Rd`, Newtown, PA, 18940, United States
Visions of America is an invitational, group exhibition of artifacts, artworks and objects capturing select evolutionary moments of the country’s 250-year history from human and animal perspectives.
Participating artists and cultural organizations include:
Edward Bennett, Mikel Elam, Charis Hasney, Vincent Hawley, Mercer Museum, Josh Myers, Newtown Historic Association, Duwenavue Santé Johnson and Paul Swenbeck.
On view at Hicks Art Center Gallery on the Newtown Campus of Bucks County Community College.
June 5 – July 25, 2026
Opening Reception: June 5, 4 – 8 pm
Free and open to the public
The exhibition presents multiple perspectives addressing specific topics in the history and evolution within America; personal independence, patriotism, war, animal conservation, queer trans identity, 1960’s politics, creativity within Quaker faith and the trauma of slavery. Curated by Clifford Eberly, Senior Manager of Galleries and Exhibitions at the BCCC Hicks Art Center Gallery, the diverse participants were asked to self-select or invite artists to propose artworks or objects that they viewed as important guiding reflections on America’s past, present and future. The multimedia result demonstrates the possibilities of democracy juxtaposed with critical realizations reminding us that for civilization to holistically advance globally, humility to each other and to the natural world must prevail and begin locally.

Modern Architecture in India
Lecture by John DeFazio AlA 2:00 PM- 3:30 PM
1.5 AIA CEUs
Raymond Farm Center for Living Arts & Design | 6370 Pidcock Creek Road New
In 1935, architects Antonin and Noémi Raymond, alongside George Nakashima, designed Golconde at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. As India’s first Modernist building, this sustainable concrete dormitory pioneered climate-responsive modern design decades ahead of its time. Beyond its visionary architects, the masterpiece was realized through the Karmayoga of engineers and ashram volunteers who overcame the immense material shortages of WWII. This remarkable story of innovation and collective spirit is presented by John DeFazio in this lecture and micro-exhibition.
This event is a collaboration with the Bucks County AIA and attendees will earn 2.5 CEUs. All are welcome!
