SUMMARY:Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery\,  Joseph Skrapits\, Still Life and Landscape paintings\, Inside and Out
DESCRIPTION:Lehigh Valley painter\, Joseph Skrapits will be exhibiting his still life and landscape paintings titled Inside and Out at the Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery from May 23 to June 30\, 2025.  There will be an opening reception on Sunday\, June 1 from 2:00 – 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 through Friday 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. \nThis show has given Joseph the chance to review his work of the past forty years in the two genres where he has been most active: plein air landscape and still life. He has chosen to exhibit paintings that he has rarely shown\, emphasizing pairings that highlight changes in his approach over time. \nPhilosophically\, the big change has been a movement from an enthusiastic truth-to-nature approach toward a more considered understanding of painting as a kind of “timelessness machine.” Through the analysis and manipulation of design elements (tonal value\, color and composition)\, Joseph enjoys exploring the aesthetic qualities in his subjects\, hopefully inducing in the viewer the emotion he experience in painting. \nHe graduated from Lehigh University with a B.A. in psychology/fine art in 1972 and worked as a freelance writer for national magazines\, specializing in the history and practice of painting. In 1985\, he began painting as a casual student of the late artist Antonio Salemme\, who taught a direct\, spontaneous approach stressing the structural and emotional properties of color.  Joseph’s writing career enabled him to continue his education through the study of historical art movements and through interviews with contemporary artists. He resides and has his studio in Allentown\, Pennsylvania. \nThe exhibition is sponsored by the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission (www.bfac-lv.org) and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

SUMMARY:Archibald Johnston Presentation
DESCRIPTION:The Archie Project is a nonprofit 501(c)(3)\, whose purpose is to raise funds to restore the interior of the Historic Archibald Johnston Mansion in Bethlehem Township’s Housenick Park. Hear from Tim Brady and John Gallagher about the project and the history behind this historic property and family.\nArchibald Johnston arrived in Bethlehem from Phoenixville\, Pennsylvania while still in elementary school. He thrived in school\, was a graduate of Lehigh University\, and became an employee of the Bethlehem Steel Company. His intelligence\, salesmanship\, and people skills were valued by senior management. He made “the Steel” – and himself – a lot of money.\nJohnston married the daughter of a local family\, Estelle Stadiger Borhek (center right in photo)\, and they had two children\, Elizabeth (center left) and Archibald Borhek Johnston (right).\nIn the late 1910s\, Bethlehem Steel’s senior management saw the wisdom in the consolidation of the three Bethlehem boroughs – Bethlehem\, Northampton Heights\, and South Bethlehem. Johnston led the consolidation campaign and voters selected him overwhelmingly as their first mayor. He served one term and moved to his new country estate\, “Camel’s Hump Farm” in Bethlehem Township.\nJohnston hired Curtis Lovelace\, who would later create an architectural firm which would become today’s Spillman Farmer\, to design a suitable residence for himself and his wife. His two children\, already adults and married with their own children\, would not accompany them to the 6\,000-square-foot home completed in 1923.\nJohnston had a passion for civil engineering projects as well as civic work. He walled the Monocacy Creek\, built a fish hatchery\, a riding rink\, and a series of roads and bridges connecting the buildings and homes on what was almost one square mile adjacent to Nazareth Pike.\nJohnston died on February 2\, 1948\, having enjoyed nearly 25 years of family life with his wife and their children and grandchildren.\nIncluded with admission.
