Artistic Director, Lorie Jane Devereux shares, “By interacting with professional artists and their collections, our students have the opportunity to experience new perspectives on how to think about their own work. They see how an artist truly dives into their vision for their work and see it all come together.”
The visual arts program of study at Charter Arts provides a well-rounded, structured, and classical fine art education. Approached as an academic as well as artistic discipline, the sequence of courses inspire students to form connections across the curriculum. Students progressively build conceptual understanding as they work to advance skills in drawing, painting, sculpture, digital design concepts, photography, art history, and professional practices. Over the course of study within the visual arts program, students develop a portfolio expressive of their active studio participation, work ethic, personal inquiry, passion for art, and dedication to skill advancement.

Bethlehem Steel Flashlight Tours
2025-09-05 19:45 - 21:00, 2025-10-03 19:45 - 21:00, 2025-11-07 19:45 - 21:00 | National Museum of Industrial History, 98 E 2nd St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Join us during First Fridays for Bethlehem Steel Flashlight Tours!
Many 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.”
Please 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.

Kieran Kane & Rayna Gellert – Roots-Driven Americana from Two Masterful Collaborators
2025-09-05 20:00 - 22:00 | Godfrey Daniels, 7 E 4th St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Kieran Kane & Rayna Gellert bring their roots-driven collaboration to Godfrey Daniels. Kane’s work with The O’Kanes and Dead Reckoning Records helped shape Americana music. At the same time, Gellert’s deep connection to Appalachian old-time traditions and stringband revival led her from Uncle Earl to acclaimed collaborations. Their duo work blends minimalist songwriting with a shared reverence for tradition, showcased across four albums and years of creative partnership.
Kieran Kane’s seminal work in The O’Kanes and Kane Welch Kaplin, as well as co-founding the independent label Dead Reckoning Records, laid the foundation for the contemporary world of Americana music. A successful solo artist, collaborator, and songwriter (with songs recorded by Alan Jackson, John Prine, Emmylou Harris, and many more), Kieran is a musician’s musician: his playing is always understated, always groove-oriented, and always serving the song.
If Rayna Gellert seems a preternaturally gifted songwriter, it’s because she’s seen farther into the old songs than most. Growing up in a musical family, she turned to Appalachian old-time music at a young age, becoming a prodigious fiddler and leading a new revival of American stringband music through her work with the acclaimed roots band Uncle Earl. An in-demand collaborator, she has toured and recorded with artists such as Scott Miller, Abigail Washburn, Toubab Krewe, and Robyn Hitchcock.

Bethlehem Steel Locomotive Experiences
2025-09-07 11:00 - 15:15, 2025-10-05 11:00 - 15:15 | National Museum of Industrial History, 98 E 2nd St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
The National Museum of Industrial History is excited to offer a hands-on train engineer experience on its restored narrow gauge locomotive! Situated in the museum’s park area, the 1941 Whitcomb diesel-electric locomotive was used at Bethlehem Steel in the Electric Furnace Melt Shop where it moved trains of scrap metal. Restored by museum volunteers and staff to working condition, the train operates on a little over 100 feet of demonstration track. During this educational experience participants will be able to climb into the cab, learn how the locomotive works, then take the controls under the supervision of museum personnel. The short but memorable runs will let you step back in time, putting you in the same engineer’s seat as the steelworkers who helped build the country.
Each experience is limited to two adults or one adult and one child. Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes and is weather-dependent. Tickets are $30 per session (includes 1-2 participants) and are non-refundable except in the case of inclement weather or cancellation by the museum.
Learn more about the locomotive’s restoration process and see it in action here: https://www.nmih.org/restoration-highlight-1941-bethlehem-steel-whitcomb-narrow-gauge-locomotive
Because of the nature of operating historic equipment, availability is subject to change without advance notice. Every reasonable effort will be made to keep your experience on track. Guests must be able to climb four steps to enter and exit the locomotive. NMIH’s Bethlehem Steel locomotive experience is separate from regular museum admission.

The Bacon Brothers
2025-09-07 18:00 - 20:00 | Zoellner Arts Center, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
For The Bacon Brothers, music is all about exploration. Their sound highlights not only the similarities between Kevin Bacon (known worldwide as an A-list Hollywood actor) and Michael Bacon (celebrated as an Emmy-winning composer), but the differences, too. “We’re two musicians who write songs very differently, and we’ve grown to really appreciate those differences,” says Michael. The siblings have spent the better part of three decades creating their own mix of folk, rock, soul, and country music. They call that diverse sound “forosoco,” and it’s taken them around the world, from headlining gigs in Japan to American performances at iconic venues like Carnegie Hall, the Grand Ole Opry and Gruene Hall. And back by popular demand, to Zoellner!

2025-09-19 20:00 - 22:00 | Charles A Brown Ice House, 56 River St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
On November 7, 1975, the day after his 34th birthday, RCA Records released Old No. 1, legendary songwriter Guy Clark’s debut album. While not a commercial success by any stretch, the album was highly praised by the press and “L.A. Freeway,” “Desperados Waiting for a Train,” “Rita Ballou,” “Texas 1947,” “Let Him Roll,” and “That Old Time Feeling” soon became instant classics. No one could have known then that Old No. 1 would inspire generations of American songwriters, troubadours, and music fans.
The Guy Clark Family Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to supporting songwriters, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Old No. 1 with a series of concerts around the country to bring awareness to the organization and to boost songwriters who work in the spirit of Guy Clark.

Pete Gustavson brings his multi-instrumental talents and heartfelt storytelling to Godfrey Daniels on Saturday, September 20 at 8PM.

Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery, Will Hübscher photographs, The Flowers Will Never Die
2025-10-01 08:00 - 2025-10-04 17:00 | Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery, 10 East Church Street, Bethlehem, PA, 18018, United States
Lehigh Valley photographer, Will Hübscher, will be exhibiting his floral photographs. The show entitled “The Flowers Will Never Die”, will be on display at the Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery from September 29 to November 4, 2025. There will be an opening reception on Sunday, October 5, 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.
“I find the old, the broken, the forgotten, the decaying process of nature to be the most interesting and the most beautiful of nature’s lifecycle. Perhaps a flower’s bloom is not nature at its finest, for there is also beauty in its decay as well. There is splendor within the flower’s wilting blooms, within the seeds, pods, and leaves all in their unique stages of decomposition. Without the decay of one year, there would be no fresh beauty in the next. Flowers are nature’s way of expressing beauty and grace. They come in a myriad of colors, shapes, and sizes, each with its own unique charm. Flowers not only delight our senses with their vibrant hues and delicate fragrances, but they also play a vital role in ecosystems as pollinators and providers of nectar. From the romantic allure of roses to the cheerful petals of sunflowers, flowers have long been admired and cherished by cultures around the world. They symbolize love, friendship, and new beginnings. Whether they are found in a garden, a bouquet, or a wild meadow, flowers never fail to bring joy and a sense of wonder to our lives.”
Will has no formal art or photographic education or training, his artistic endeavors actually began later in life, during the celebratory Millennium year. Being diagnosed and treated for cancer, becoming suddenly single during treatment, moving into a 100-year-old farmhouse and living alone for the first time in his life, and then being laid off from his job, gave him an unexpected realization of his own self. During a particularly low day of self-introspection and pity came a knock at the door. And there were his best friends, Wally Barnette and his husband Andy who was carrying a table-top etching press. Wally said, “It is time to do something with your life.” And so began his artistic journey that has taken many different directions but still continues to this day. He has always looked at the world around him differently than most of his contemporaries, but this was the first time he was challenged to actually interpret it in a visual format.
After seeing a mandala created and then destroyed, he envisioned creating still life’s using mostly objects from nature, photographing the pieces, then returning the pieces back to the land. Each still life is carefully arranged in natural sunlight, using rotting boards and rusting metals as a backdrop, then photographing, rearranging, and photographing again many times until just the right essence of nature’s character is captured. And then it is sent back to the earth to feed the insects, birds and next year’s growth. This is how his series of photographs “Beautiful Decay” and “Blooms on Black” were created.
Will’s artwork has been in shows and galleries from New York to Los Angeles, including solo exhibitions at both Lafayette College and Penn State University, as well as taking 2 nd place out of 1,800 artists in Juxtapose magazine’s worldwide competition. His monotypes are in the permanent collection of City Center Allentown Corporation. He also had the great honor of being the inaugural artist at the grand opening of the Bradbury-Sullivan LGBT Community Center.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission (www.bfac-lv.org) and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

Passage is a gripping modern-day allegory that speaks directly to our current moment-challenging us to reflect on systems of oppression and the struggle to connect across differences. Urgent, thought-provoking, and profoundly human, this play invites audiences to question how we move forward in a fractured world. Adam Ercolani, director.

This is a wonderful service to give thanks for all of life that God has created! “Praised be you, my Lord, with all Your creatures, especially Sir Brother Sun, who is the day and through whom You give us light, and he is beautiful and radiant with great splendor; and bears a likeness of You, Most High One. Praised by You, my Lord, through our Sister Mother Earth, who sustains and governs us, and who produces various fruit with colored flowers and herbs.” St Francis, 13th c.

Metal Health
2025-10-10 18:00 - 20:00 | National Museum of Industrial History, 98 E 2nd St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
On Friday, 10/10/25 NMIH will host a workshop led by Veteran and artist Jay Elias of Evolution Art Studios. Elias, a former United States Marine, served during the Gulf War era. Suffering from undiagnosed and untreated PTSD, he wound up on the wrong side of the law and eventually served a lengthy prison sentence. After many years of gradually declining mental health, he discovered the healing effects that art and the creative process can provide to promote both spiritual and emotional wellness. He created Evolution Art Studio to share this holistic approach to healing with other veterans and members of the community alike.
The workshop will introduce the process used to create three-dimensional sculptural forms in cast iron —patternmaking, mold-making and casting. The workshop includes instruction in the use of pattern materials. Most participants make their patterns from several pre-made forms. Workshop participants can customize their own design to these existing forms, making them unique, or build entirely from scratch using techniques demonstrated during the workshop.
On Saturday, 10/11/25 at 7pm, a public iron pour demonstration will take place outdoors in the Museum’s Foundry Park (weather permitting) where the molds created during the workshop on Friday will be filled with molten iron. Whether they attended the workshop the day before or not, anyone from the public is invited to watch the pour, where scrap iron will be recycled and melted down in a visually stunning process of fire and molten metal. After cooling down from 2700 degrees Fahrenheit, the resulting cast iron sculptures and objects will be on exhibit for the general public during Steel Weekend before their makers bring them home.
All activities will take place at the National Museum of Industrial History, located on the grounds of the former Bethlehem, PA, plant of Bethlehem Steel.
Workshop fee is $40 (Veterans use code VETERAN at checkout to receive free workshop registration). Children must be accompanied by an adult.
Participants must be prepared to work with sand and wear safety glasses. Anyone who has their own safety glasses is welcome to bring them. Limited quantities will be available on site.

About The Film
Light in the Darkness follows a town coming together to take action after anti-immigrant violence devastates the community. In 2008, a series of attacks against Latino residents of Patchogue, New York culminate with the murder of Marcelo Lucero, an Ecuadorian immigrant who had lived in the Long Island village for 13 years. Over a two-year period, the story follows Patchogue residents as they openly address the underlying causes of the violence, work to heal divisions, and begin taking steps to ensure everyone in their village will be safe and respected. (Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness was broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.)

This 90-minute Kirkland event will feature a three-member panel moderated by Northampton Community College’s Associate Dean of Community
Education, Dr. Audree Chase. Panelists are: Allentown Mayor Matthew Tuerk, Lehigh Valley Public Media CEO Hasanna Birdsong, and Touchstone Theatre founder Bridget George.

This event will introduce the 2026 Great Decisions Lecture Series which begins in late January at Kirkland. Tentative topics for the 2026 lecture series scheduled for Wednesdays from January 28 to March 18 are:

America and the World: Trump 2.0 Foreign Policy–Trump’s return has marked a break from 80 years of U.S. foreign policy leadership, embracing an “America First” approach. This chapter explores the risks of isolation and diminished influence in relation to Trump 2.0 foreign policy.

Trump Tariffs and the Future of the World Economy–Trump’s aggressive trade and tariff policies have shaken global economic norms. What’s the rationale behind this radical shift in economic policy, and what are the implications for multilateral trade and geopolitics?

U.S.-China Relations–Relations with China remain tense, with tariffs, military modernization, and pressure on Taiwan. Does Trump have a coherent China policy, and will his tariffs on Rare Earth minerals be effective? What are America’s strategic options?

Ruptured Alliances and the Risk of Nuclear Proliferation–U.S. alliance skepticism may drive countries like Japan and South Korea to reconsider nuclear options. What are the implications of the Trump administration’s rethinking of the U.S. alliance system for regional and global security? Will this new uncertainty alter the way allies and rivals in various regions make decisions about security and nuclear weapons?

Ukraine and the Future of European Security–With reduced U.S. support for NATO and Ukraine, Europe faces strategic uncertainty. The Trump administration has signaled an intention to reduce its security role in Europe. What are America’s stakes in NATO and Europe’s strategic dilemmas, and how might Europe respond?

Multilateral Institutions in a Changing World Order–Can multilateralism survive amid shifting global power and rising nationalism? This chapter examines the future of global cooperation across trade, health, and finance.

U.S. Engagement of Africa–Africa’s geopolitical role is growing. What lessons can the U.S. learn from China’s presence there, and how might it strengthen ties, especially with leading nations like Nigeria? What tools of statecraft might the U.S. bring to its engagement with Africa?

The Future of Human Rights and International Law–As democracy and human rights retreat globally—and the U.S. pulls back—how can civil society and legal norms remain effective in a divided world? What is the role and force of international law in this era of impunity?

Kirkland Village Retirement Community is located in north Bethlehem, east of Route 512, at 1 Kirkland Village Circle, and adjacent to the First Presbyterian Church, 2344 Center St. Parking is available directly behind the Church.

Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery, Frank "Wyso" Wysochansky, paintings, Christmas in Bethlehem
2025-11-09 08:00 - 2025-12-19 16:00 | Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery, 10 East Church Street, Bethlehem, PA, 18018, United States
Northeastern Pennsylvania artist, Frank “Wyso” Wysochansky’s art work will be exhibited at the Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery from November 9 to December 19, 2025. Titled “Christmas in Bethlehem” this exhibition of the posthumous artist, known as “Wyso”, is curated by Steven J. Lichak. There will be an opening reception on Sunday, November 9, 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.
Frank “Wyso” Wysochansky (1915–1994) was self-taught, fiercely prolific, and unapologetically human. From the coal fields of Pennsylvania to the walls of American galleries, Frank Wysochansky—known simply as WYSO®—created a body of work that speaks to the grit, faith, and resilience of the working class. Born to Ukrainian immigrants and one of twelve children, Wyso’s life was steeped in the struggles of miners and their families. When his father was killed in a mining accident, that experience seared into his soul—and into his art.
Wyso left school after the seventh grade and began a long career as a freelance cartoonist, most notably for the United Mine Workers Journal (1946–1969). But his artistic expression didn’t stop with ink. Using everything from watercolor, pen and ink and Crayola crayons, he developed a vibrant, multi-media style that captured everyday life with raw emotion and uncanny vision.

Wyso’s subjects reflect his roots: miners, immigrant families, religious devotion, and the Pennsylvania landscape. But his voice was always universal—a storyteller of the common man, capturing the soul of America through the eyes of those too often overlooked. Today, WYSO®’s legacy lives on through exhibitions, media features, and the work of the WYSO® Foundation in Bethlehem, PA.
This exhibition is curated by Steven J. Lichak who is a media professional and cultural preservationist dedicated to storytelling through both technology and the arts. At Lehigh University, he serves as Senior Producer within The Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning and the Digital Media Team, where he creates educational media and mentors the next generation of filmmakers and content creators.
Lichak is also the founding president and curator of the WYSO® Foundation, established to preserve and share the work of Frank Wysochansky (WYSO®), the self-taught artist from Pennsylvania who produced more than 5,000 works. A personal friend of the artist, Lichak undertook the cataloging of Wyso’s collection after his death in 1994. Thanks to his efforts, Wyso’s once-hidden body of work has been brought into public view, gaining exhibitions and national recognition as a vital contribution to American folk art. Through his media work, teaching, and curatorial projects, Lichak continues to bridge education, creativity, and cultural heritage.

Richard Gartner bio:
Since 2005, Richard Gartner has been fostering a non-dogmatic and compassionate attitude about students’ abilities and circumstances in Pittsburgh and beyond.
Richard’s style is paradoxically both unique and universal. His instructions allow for any student to approach the practice, embracing all levels of experience and ability. This allows for yogis to explore their own unique structure and make every practice their own.
His teachings fuse traditional posture and breathwork with contemporary anatomy and bodywork. He draws from many forms of yoga, fascial release, mindfulness techniques, and common sense.

THEATRE: "Witches!? In Salem?!" by Matt Cox
2025-11-12 19:00 - 2025-11-15 20:30 | Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts, 321 E 3rd St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) Theatre Department continues its season of mystery and mayhem with a production of Witches!? In Salem?!, an innovative new play by Matt Cox, November 12-16, 2025 in the Charter Arts Black Box Theater. This darkly comic, yet historically grounded take on the Salem Witch Trials is told through the eyes of an imaginative 8th grader who becomes consumed by a lesson on The Crucible.
For this production, the department welcomes guest director, Chris Egging, to lead an exceptional student cast through a spellbinding whirlwind of humor, hysteria and history, where the lines between past and present blur revealing the timeless power of fear, rumor and belief.
Producer, Diane Wagner describes the department’s enthusiasm in selecting this piece. “We’re always on the lookout for new works that will be of interest to our students. When we came across Witches!? In Salem?! it immediately resonated with the faculty. The connections to American history, The Crucible, and the ensemble nature of the production seemed a perfect fit for us.
Wagner adds: “Matt Cox uses actual facts about the Salem Witch Trials which over time have been inextricably connected to Arthur Miller’s play, and turned it on its head by framing it as a live presentation commandeered by an 8th grader. The show is sometimes zany, sometimes disturbing because of the nature of what actually happened, and at all times entertaining. If this is a topic that interests you, you won’t want to miss Witches!? In Salem?!.”
Tickets are $8-$14 General Admission and can be purchased online at CharterArts.org. Witches!? In Salem?! is presented by special arrangement with Uproar Theatrics (www.Uproar Theatrics.com).

Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox: Today's Hits Yesterday
2025-11-13 19:00 - 21:00 | Zoellner Arts Center, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
When New York City pianist Scott Bradlee created Postmodern Jukebox out of a basement in Queens in 2011, his goal was simple: to remake the pop hits of today into the classic sounds of the legends of yesterday. Miley Cyrus became The Platters. Bruno Mars became Frank Sinatra. The Spice Girls became The Andrews Sisters. Guns ‘n’ Roses became Bessie Smith.
Now, over a decade and two billion YouTube views later, Postmodern Jukebox has grown to become a pop culture mainstay in its own right, having played over a thousand shows on six continents. One part celebration of vintage music and culture, one part Saturday Night Live for singers, a Postmodern Jukebox show is an unforgettable trip back in time – in Baker Hall, again!
