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. \nWinter 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. \nAll 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. \n\nArtwork pictured by Janet Schuler URL:https://www.bucksarts.org/event/winter-impressions-group-exhibition-bucks-county-community-college/ LOCATION:Hicks Art Center Gallery\, 275 Swamp Rd`\, Newtown\, PA\, 18940\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.bucksarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/thumbnail_janetschuler_sleddogmushers_colorpencilonfilm.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250111 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250203 DTSTAMP:20260424T171538 CREATED:20250102T183232Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250112T205953Z UID:70172-1736553600-1738540799@www.bucksarts.org SUMMARY:Gallery 14 - Annual Juried Photography Exhibition DESCRIPTION:A&C Member/Director Louise Levy’s photograph “Pensive” was juried into the show and awarded an Honorable Mention! \nGallery 14 – Annual Juried Photography Exhibition \nJanuary 11 – February 2\, 2025** \n11:00 am – 4:00 pm \n**Weekends Only** or by appointment: galleryfourteen@yahoo.com \nMeet the Artists January 11 from 1:00 – 3:00 pm \nFounded in 2001\, Gallery 14 is a cooperative fine art photography gallery dedicated to exploring and promoting photography as an art form. \nThey are committed to providing an environment that offers entertainment\, education\, and collaboration for its members and community. \nTheir award-winning photographers focus on a variety of photography types including documentary\, street\, landscape\, abstract\, macro\, portraiture\, and wildlife. \nGallery 14 presents monthly exhibits by members and guests each year and participates in community events including Tour Des Arts and Holiday Passport. \nIts members’ photographs are often requested for community exhibitions. \nAll photographs in Gallery 14 are available for purchase. \nFor inquiries about the purchase or lease of photographs for commercial space or to request Gallery 14 participation in an exhibition\, email galleryfourteen@yahoo.com.
