PCAC Art Show

Our Good Friends at The Pike County Arts and Crafts, Inc. (PCAC) in Milford, PA held an Artists’ Reception for their 57th Annual Art Show on Friday July 13th. Our Good Friends Christine Griffin of The BUZZ Arts Guide and BUZZ online (www.BuzzArtsGuide.com) and Paul Adam Smeltz (that’s me) of The Forwardian Arts Society were among the jurors who selected several pieces representing the best of the works to be given special recognition for the talent they manifested.

The evening began with a ceremony at The Episcopal Church of The Good Shepard and St. John the Divine in Milford, PA to honor those whose work made the event meaningful. The Ceremonies began with some welcoming words by Our Good Friend James A. Campistrious of J. Angelo Event Planning who Coordinated the Show along with Ellen Bawcom of La Tienda. They continued with the recognition Our Good Friend John Longendorfer and his family of The Golden Fish Gallery in Milford, PA for whom this year’s Art Show was dedicated to. The remainder of the ceremonies consisted of some inspiring words from the founders of PCAC and the awarding of The 12th Annual Georgiana P. Kiger “Excellence in Art” Scholarships to Anika Scheepers and Syndney Polatnick.

Afterwards, all those attended were treated with an enormous array of enticing foods prior to partaking of the wonderful opportunity to experience the work and share in the good conversation with the very talented artists who made the entire evening a further delight. It was good to meet some new friends as well as becoming reacquainted with those I’ve met in the past. There were too many to name here without the risk of forgetting a few. However, I do welcome any of you who would like to share their recollections with me.

The Art Show will continue until July 22nd. Please contact Our Good Friends at The Pike County Arts and Crafts, Inc. (PCAC) at 570-296-2338 for more information. You’ll find numerous photographs at The Forwardian Arts Society PCAC Art Show Gallery at myspace.com/forwardian_arts.
