Art in Milford, PA 07-14-06

Our Good Friends at The Pike County Arts and Crafts, Inc. (PCAC) in Milford, PA held an Opening Reception for their 56th Annual Exhibition. The evening was dedicated to the late Arthur B. Siegel who contributed a great deal through his passion for the arts to the Pike County creative community. In keeping to his memory, the event was filled with wonderful art, music, and conversation.

The evening also included presentations of The 11th Annual Georgiana P. Kiger “Excellence in Art” Scholarships to Schuyler Grant of Lake Wallenpaupack High School and Kimberly L. Stromberg of Delaware Valley High School. There was also the presentation of The 2006 Pike County Arts and Crafts “Achievement in Art” Scholarship to Denise Nikodem of Lake Wallenpaupack High School. I encourage you to join me in congratulating these talented young people and in wishing them well as they continue to go forward toward their dreams.

Many of Our Good Friends were present this evening. They included Arline M. Smeltz, Joan Polishook, Roslyn Ross-Hoffman, John Longendorfer of The Golden Fish Gallery, Elizabeth Murphy (Executive Director of PCAC), Vitoria Mayer-Connelly (Executive Director Emeritus of PCAC), Dana Connolly, Lucille Norella, Susan Pisarri, and many more. We also made some new friends including Christabel Aidala, Filees Jupin and Allie Connolly. The exhibition will continue until July 23rd. Please contact them at mlfrdrdg@ptd.net for more information.
