SUMMARY:Through March 31st - 15th Annual Hope & Healing Juried Art Show
DESCRIPTION:Art is a window of hope when an actual window is not possible\nHigh school and college students are invited to create art that inspires healing and hopefulness and donate it to Healing Through The Arts (HTTA). Following the gallery show located in the lobby area\, all art is available free to any hospital\, doctors’ office\, clinic\, or healing facility to inspire patients\, families\, and staff. After 14 years\, HTTA has placed art in more than 40 hospitals and healing facilities.\nStudents create art to help others\, however\, the process of creating the art also helps themselves. They have the opportunity to explore their own creativity and share their own journey. This process is essential at a time that mental health issues are growing. Research shows that nature images are calming and healing to most people.\nLast year’s 14th annual show featured art from 11 high schools and 6 colleges. Students participated individually or with their class and donated 144 pieces of individual art for the gallery show\, including two participants now art educators who submitted pieces with their high school classes. A total of 34 awards were given this year\, the most this show has ever had. There are five judges’ awards with cash prizes ranging from $500-$150. Community Awards are selected by anyone who wants to honor the student work that speaks personally to them and fund the prize. Eighteen students won the $100 prize this year. Additionally\, The Baum School of Art awarded 10 students with scholarships.\nArt shows that life is beautiful and opens the mind to new possibilities by creating optimism. Familiar scenes bring back memories. Unfamiliar ones can create a sense of wonder or desire to see more. As art emotionally draws the viewer into the picture\, it can be a welcome distraction from the pain of recovery and boredom for patients and caregivers.\nSelect artwork from all the Hope & Healing Juried Art Shows are used to create Healing Art Meditations. These single-song mini meditations combine inspiring images and soothing music from Jim Brickman and other acclaimed artists who support the work of HTTA. Meditations can be viewed from HTTA.org on any device\, anywhere\, anytime.\nHealing Through The Arts (HTTA.org) provides instructions and guidance for creating art that is healing. Lehigh University’s College of Health is a leader in improving human health outcomes through interdisciplinary studies and research in population and community health and health innovation and technology. Healing Through The Arts is proud of this partnership.\nThis exhibition is presented in partnership with the Lehigh University Art Galleries for the planning\, installation\, and exhibition programming.

SUMMARY:Thomas Shillea and Doug Zucco: “Artists and Teachers” exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Shillea\, photographer\, and Doug Zucco\, printmaker\, will be exhibiting a joint exhibition entitled  “Artists and Teachers” at the Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery from February 23 to April 1\, 2025.  This exhibition will focus on these two creative forces and their duality as both artists and educators \, emphasizing their impact within our arts community. There will be an artist reception on Sunday\, February 23 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM with an artist talk at 3:00 PM.  The Rotunda Gallery is located at 10 E. Church Street.  Gallery hours are Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. \nFor five decades\, Thomas Shillea has focused on the complex interaction of identity that include constructs like gender\, sexuality\, race\, ethnicity\, religion\, and aesthetics. A pioneer in experimental photography\, he also employs a classical approach to his art using his 100-year-old large format view camera and printing his unique images  on paper hand-coated with metals like platinum and gold. He has also created commissioned portraits of public figures such as  President Ronald Reagan\, Coretta Scott King\, and Malcolm Forbes\, to name a few. Most recently\, he participated internationally at  Paris Photo in France and The Photography Show at the Park Avenue Armory\, NYC.  His work has been collected by the Smithsonian Museum\, National Portrait Gallery\, Philadelphia Museum of Art\, National Museum of African American History and Culture\,  James A. Michener Art Museum\, and others.  Beside establishing an illustrious art career\, he brings his wealth of knowledge to his students as art professor and concurrently serves as Director of Arts Program at  Northampton Community College in Bethlehem\, Pennsylvania. \nWorking alongside Shillea at the college is his talented colleague\,  Doug Zucco. This artist/teacher is a well-known master printmaker with degrees from Kutztown University and the University of Georgia.  He has previously taught at Kutztown University\, Moravian University\, Cedar Crest College. and presently\, at Northampton Community College.  Zucco has received grants from the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Ford Foundation.  His artwork incorporates symbols\, allegory\, and myth. With his imagery becoming a visual iconography back through time\,  Zucco’s interest in history prompts him to think in layers of meaning and alternative symbolic meanings. Using the  recognizable imagery of a modern deck of playing cards as his inspiration for this show\, he takes the ordinary and makes it iconic\, creating their own compelling mythology. Zucco exhibits his artwork extensively throughout the United States.  In 2023\,  his artwork was on display at the National Museum in Romania. He is currently represented in the collections of The Pew Charitable Trust\, the Philadelphia Public Library\, Muhlenberg College\, the Delaware Art Museum\, and the Getty Museum\, among others. \nThe joint exhibition is sponsored by the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission (www.bfac-lv.org) and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. \nEVENT CALENDAR:  \nBethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery \n10 E. Church Street\, Bethlehem\, PA 18018  \nHours: Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM  Closed Weekends and Holidays \nThomas Shilea and Doug Zucco \n“Artists and Teachers” \nFebruary 23 to April 1\, 2025 \nThis exhibition focuses on these two creative forces and their duality as both artists and educators\, emphasizing their impact within our arts community.  \nReception: Sunday\, February 23 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM \,  Artist Talk at 3:00 PM

We look forward to sharing it so that others can experience that same feeling.”\nThis production is produced by Brett Mathews with set and lighting design by Ellen Schmoyer\, costume design by Amy Handkammer\, and sound design by Carlo Acerra.
