Winter Impressions Group Exhibition - Bucks County Community College
2024-12-18 - 2025-02-08 | Hicks Art Center Gallery, 275 Swamp Rd`, Newtown, PA, 18940, United States
Winter Impressions Group Exhibition Featuring Artwork from 20+ Local Artists to Open at
Bucks County Community College

The School of Arts and Communication of Bucks County Community College is pleased to announce that the upcoming group exhibition Winter Impressions will be held atthe Hicks Art Center Atrium Galleries from December 18, 2024, through February 8, 2025.
Winter elicits a plethora of emotions leading up to the end of the calendar year and into the new year during which a wide range of cultural, religious, and family celebrations are held. Especially where weather plays a significant role in the way people spend their time inside and outside, people react differently to winter’s varying temperatures, often in the extreme, by embracing winter sport, decorating their homes, creating art, or hibernating indoors. Holiday preparations ramp up with artists and craftspeople hosting open studios and pop-up shows for the public to find that unique gift you won’t find in big box retailers. For the exhibition Winter Impressions, more than 20 local artists have responded to an open call for which they were asked to provide artworks that evoke a sense of winter in any media. The exhibition will be on view outside the main gallery of Hicks Art Center in the Atrium Galleries that surround the enclosed outdoor courtyard.
Winter and the holiday season can be especially difficult for people facing hardship. For this reason, visitors to the exhibition are encouraged to bring new, unused clothing which will be donated to the Bucks County Emergency Homeless Shelter, and non-perishable food items which will be given to the College’s food pantry, Bucks Market, a free service for Bucks County Community College students.
All are invited to attend the opening reception on December 19 from 4–7 p.m., and the closing reception on January 25 from 12–3 p.m., both at the Hicks Art Center. During the opening reception, the public is invited to participate in a tree trimming in the courtyard and to enjoy holiday refreshments. Artisans featured in the Bucks County Guild of Craftsmen Exhibition and Sale in the main gallery will have additional fine crafts available for purchase for holiday gift giving.

SYNOPSIS
Sometimes what happens after last call just might change your life. One night in 1981, just as Jamie is closing the bar where he works, a desperate last-minute customer offers him and his girlfriend Abby two thousand dollars to sit and have a drink with him. Who wouldn’t take it? As the trio swaps stories and Jamie considers the decisions he faces about his musical career and his future with his girlfriend, the young couple begins to realize that this older man is unusually invested in their choices… and the reason he gives them is completely unbelievable. But when a very displeased second stranger arrives, the unbelievable begins to look like it just might be true.
