Art in Milford 08-12-06

Our Good Friends at The Art After Dark art show in Milford, PA presented another of their monthly events. I seldom get out to the Milford area and it was great seeing Our Good Friends and meeting new ones. Our Good Friends Arline M. Smeltz traveled with me as we placed posters and other information about the upcoming Celebration of the Arts (COTA) festival around the area.

I then visited Our Good Friends at The Golden Fish Gallery who showed the works of Our New Friend Mort Malkin in a show entitled, “The Ancient Art of Cylinders and Stamp Seals” along with the side walk music of Our New Friend Pete Prieto and Our Good Friends at The Artery showed the works of Our New Friends Chris Hobbs and Lisz Zukowski. I was also greeted at The Artery by Our Good Friend Karen Glick who is now on its board of directors. I later met some more new friends at The Highlands Photographic Guild. Although I’ve known many members of the guild for quite some time, the group was recently formed after the death of a founder of 70 NW photography gallery who was a good friend of our fellowship and will be missed a great deal.

I also met a new group called, “The Renaissance Art Society” who were showing their work at The Nervous Nellies’ Coffeehouse. Indeed, what a joy to meet so many people. I’m hopeful about increasing our fellowship’s service to the art community in Milford, PA. There are a great many creative opportunities in this area and they deserve to see the thrive. Most of the exhibitions will continue until early September.

The next Art After Dark event will be Saturday September 9th. You’ll find numerous photographs in The Forwardian Arts Society Visual Arts JAS Gallery at 360.yahoo.com/pauladam. Please contact 570-296-7300 for more information.
