SUMMARY:Printmakers Society of the Lehigh Valley exhibition\, "Regional Collective Impressions"
DESCRIPTION:The Printmakers Society of the Lehigh Valley will be exhibiting a members exhibition “Regional Collective Impressions” at the Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery from April 6 to May 16\, 2025.  There will be an opening reception on Sunday\, April 6 from 2:00 – 4:00 PM.  The Rotunda Gallery is located at 10 E. Church Street.  Gallery hours are Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. \nThe exhibition will showcase images created using a variety of techniques and materials.  Examples of traditional fine art printmaking  methodologies are interspersed with prints that have been created using experimental methods and materials still within the context of printmaking.   \nThe Printmakers Society of the Lehigh Valley was founded in 2012 by then retired Professor Richard Redd\, former head of the Department of Art at Lehigh University and noted printmaker.  To quote Richard Redd on that occasion: “Many artists make prints in various media as a secondary creative activity to painting\, sculpture\, photography\, etc.  For other artists\, making prints is the main event\, the center ring in their creative circus.” \nThis exhibit brings together printmakers  to show a diversity of media and styles:  the spontaneity of a monotype\, or the many hours of working on a metal plate dipped in an acid bath\, or perhaps a block of linoleum cut with chisels.  Offering a intriguing and fresh look at printmaking with a continuing desire to celebrate and promote the art form and encourage a love and understanding of the various types of fine art prints being created today by artists in the Lehigh Valley. \nFor more information check out the PSLV website at www.printmakerssocietylv.com or on Facebook and Instagram https://www.instagram.com/printmakerssocietylv/ \nThe 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 \nPrintmakers Society of the Lehigh Valley \n“Regional Collective Impressions” \nApril 6 to May 16\, 2025 \nThe exhibit offers an intriguing and fresh look at printmaking with a continuing desire to celebrate and promote the art form and encourage a love and understanding of the various types of fine art prints being created today by artists in the Lehigh Valley. \nReception: Sunday\, April 6 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM

I graduated from Moravian University in 2019 with a BFA and minor in Peace and Justice Studies. I began making polymer clay earrings the summer after graduating college. I used this as a therapeutic process to go outside the box of my traditional and conceptual paintings and express myself in a bold way. Jewelry making has been a really fun and transformative space for me to experiment with new materials in an entirely different way. I am a Lehigh Valley based artist.

SUMMARY:The New Plays Festival at LV Charter High School for the Arts
DESCRIPTION:The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) Theatre Department presents its much-anticipated 2025 New Plays Festival (NPF) on Friday\, May 2nd at 7 PM. NPF is an artistic endeavor in the school’s theatre curriculum featuring four plays written\, directed\, and performed by upperclassmen theatre students and designed by production arts students. The event brings together skills acquired in script writing\, directing and acting classes as students fully take on the challenges of creating new works for the stage. \nThe four plays selected this year\, are: \n“Brought Wine”\, written by Ariana Hernandez\, centers around six friends who gather for a night of wine\, gossip\, and relaxation\, but as secrets are exposed\, it quickly unravels into chaos and terror. \n“The Great Fairy Tale Feud”\, written by Andrea Rivera\, is a fresh take on iconic fairy tale characters as they team up for a raucous and hilarious fight to take back their stories. \n“Flicker”\, written by Rashid Akmanov\, offers a glimpse into the mind of a man convinced he’s been living the American Dream only to be awakened to the harsh reality of his true existence. \n“Bill and Johnny Eternal”\, written by Vincent Cocca\, is a cacophony of southern stereotypes\, sci-fi\, and frivolity centered around the cartoonish ongoing feud between the title characters and their nemesis Texas Bob. \nABOUT THE CHARTER ARTS THEATRE DEPARTMENT \nThe Charter Arts Theatre Department offers a pre-professional training program for high school-aged performers. The goal is to provide students with the skills they will need to move on to competitive college programs as well as professional theatre experiences. \nClasses are designed to encourage students to create imaginative and compelling characters\, to regard their voices and bodies as creative instruments\, to expose them to theatrical literature and to instill in them a sense of respect and professionalism for the art form that will stay with them throughout their lives. \nABOUT THE LEHIGH VALLEY CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS (Charter Arts): \nCharter Arts is an audition-based public charter school\, funded by Pennsylvania taxpayer dollars\, that provides a comprehensive curriculum for high school students\, grades 9-12\, who have a dedicated passion for the creative or performing arts.   Students major in one of seven artistic areas: dance\, instrumental music\, literary arts\, production arts (film & technical theatre)\, theatre\, visual arts\, or vocal music. \nCharter Arts’ rigorous curriculum fosters both academic and artistic excellence for its students.

SUMMARY:Bethlehem Steel Flashlight Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us during First Fridays for Bethlehem Steel Flashlight Tours!\nMany places in the massive Bethlehem Steel plant were 24/7 operations.  Although some areas glowed with molten metal after sunset\, other locations were dark\, illuminated only when workers with company issued flashlights navigated the maze-like facilities.  Now guests can participate in a guided tour of the plant after dark\, utilizing flashlights to experience the former steel mill by spotlighting specific features and peering into areas otherwise in the shadows during the day.  The tours will leave from the Museum\, walk the Hoover-Mason trestle\, look at the east side of the blast furnace complex from the ground\, and return to the Museum at street level\, all while using flashlights to focus on details and stories from “The Steel.”\nPlease bring your own flashlight and wear comfortable walking shoes. Participants will be required to sign a waiver at check in.  This tour happens entirely in public spaces\, but in the dark\, with uneven surfaces and limited visibility.  It is not a haunted/ghost tour\, but some visitors may be uncomfortable with the lack of light\, strange noises\, and heights (46 feet). In the case of inclement weather (including rain\, snow/ice\, heavy winds\, lightning)\, please check the museum website and WFMZ storm center for cancellations.\nTour Schedule\nMay 2\, 2025 @7:45PM\nJune 6\, 2025 @8:30PM\nSeptember 5\, 2025 @7:45PM\nOctober 3\, 2025 @7:45PM\nNovember 7\, 2025 @7:45PM\nDecember 5\, 2025 @7:45PM\n$15/person ($12.50 for NMIH Members)\nPurchase tickets HERE.
