Bethlehem Steel Flashlight Tour
2025-05-02 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.

New Plays Festival
2025-05-02 19:00 - 21:00 | 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 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.
The four plays selected this year, are:
“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.
“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.
“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.
“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.

Erika Salus
My name is Erika and I am the creator of Earfunk! I’m formally trained as a painter and photographer but I wanted to explore other creative outlets. I’ve always been someone who enjoyed learning new things. I tend to jump from hobby to hobby! 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.

Dave’s Night Out with Pete Gustavson & Laurie Ann Hullinger Exploring Answers to, “Why Write Songs?”
2025-04-23 19:00 | Godfrey Daniels, 7 E 4th St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 23 • 7PM
Dave’s Night Out with Pete Gustavson & Laurie Ann Hullinger Exploring Answers to, “Why Write Songs?”
$12.50 GENERAL ADMISSION
https://godfreydaniels.org/event/daves-night-out-with-pete-gustavson-and-laurie-ann-hullinger-april-23-2025/
Join us for a fantastic, audience participation-encouraged, evening with Pete Gustavson and Laurie Ann Hullinger at Dave’s Night Out! Music, stories, and conversation come together in Dave’s Night Out, a unique monthly series hosted by Dave Fry at Godfrey Daniels. This edition features the insightful songwriting of Pete Gustavson and Laurie Ann Hullinger, who will share their thoughts on “Why Write Songs?” Pete’s deeply emotive style blends old-time country, folk-rock, and alternative influences, while Laurie Ann’s American roots sound draws from classic country, rockabilly, and blues traditions. Expect an evening of songcraft, storytelling, and spontaneous dialogue in the intimate and welcoming atmosphere of Bethlehem’s premier Live Music Listening Room.
Pete Gustavson is a multi-instrumentalist singer and songwriter residing in Quakertown, Pennsylvania. He writes songs about love and life and death and the ache of regret, calling upon influences ranging from ’40s torch songs to ’90s Alternative Rock, and pulling at the strings that tie Old-time Country to ’60s Folk-Rock. Since the late 1990s, he has performed as the frontman of South Bethlehem holdover The Unpronounceable.
One doesn’t typically think of Irvington, New Jersey as a source for roots songwriters. But when your Daddy raised you on a steady diet of Hank Williams records along with various swing and blues artists of the time, and your Mama played steel guitar, it gets in your blood fast. Miss Laurie Ann Hullinger started writing songs at an early age and has developed an extensive collection of tight, well-crafted songs that tell stories of love, come and gone. Much in the tradition of The Blasters and The Paladins, her musical style is “American Music”, combining elements of traditional country, rockabilly, and 50’s rhythm & blues.

This event is in celebration of Slow Art Day!
Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.
On April 5, 2025, LUAG, along with museums across the world, from the United States to Germany, Zambia, China, Brazil, France, El Salvador, Britain, Ukraine, and many other countries, will invite people in their communities to hit the pause button. Visitors will gather inside virtual spaces to take part in international Slow Art Day and slow down as they look at art.
The average person looks at a painting for fifteen to thirty seconds, but on Slow Art Day, we urge visitors to spend 5 to 10 minutes closely examining a work of art – or longer if the work captivates and inspires them.
Why slow? When people look slowly at a piece of art they make discoveries. The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert (or expertise). And that’s an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers. Visit the Slow Art Day website for more programs and information.

by Adam Szymkowicz
The future of a whimsical, almost magical bookstore is uncertain after the owner dies and leaves the shop to her niece Rachel. Rachel has a job in New York City that doesn’t pay her enough and a fiancé that won’t stop calling. She doesn’t ahve time or patience to run a bookstore, so when real estate agent Max Brewer offers her more money than she can imagine to turn the store into an apartment complex, her choice seems like a no-brainer. But as the shop works its magic on her and she gets to know the eccentric employees and clientele, she starts to wonder: Can you really put a price on a beloved community bookstore? Nick Conti, director.

Mid-Week Lenten Program
“Full to the Brim: Envisioning, Creating,
and Sustaining Community–
Living with Abundance in a World of Scarcity”
Full to the Brim will use beautiful liturgies, art and poetry
from Sanctified Art following the Sunday morning’s
lectionary readings. This year’s Lenten Scripture are filled
with parables and promises of God’s abundant and expansive
grace; Jesus as a mother hen, a prodigal son welcomed home,
a fig tree nurtured with care and hope, precious oil poured out
lovingly and freely, stones shouting out with praise.
Sanctified Art writes about this series, “We’ve done nothing
to deserve or earn this grace, and yet, like water, it spills over.
Full to the Brim is an invitation — into a radically different
Lent, into a full life. It’s an invitation to be authentically
who you are, to counter scarcity and injustice at every
turn, to pour out even more grace wherever it is needed. It
disrupts the scarcity mentality that capitalism, oppression, or
hierarchy can plant inside of us. When we allow ourselves to
be filled to the brim with God’s lavish love, that love spills
over into everything we touch. . . .
This Lent, let us trust — fully — that we belong to God.
Let us increase our capacity to receive and give grace.
Let us discover the expansive life God dreams for us”.

About the Artists:
Dede Bandaid is a multidisciplinary urban artist based in New York and Tel Aviv. His work, spanning installations, assemblages, painting, and collage, uses public spaces to communicate messages that confront social issues, post-trauma, and inequities.
Nitzan Mintz is a visual poet whose site-specific works fuse language with visual art. Her text-based pieces, created for specific urban locations, challenge viewers to engage with poetry in new and profound ways.
As partners in both life and practice, Dede and Nitzan draw inspiration from the vibrant pulse and constant flux of urban spaces. Together, they aim to activate overlooked areas, creating thought-provoking works that empower communities, address decay, and foster connection. Their combined approaches result in a tapestry of reflections on the human experience in contemporary cities.
Dede and Nitsan Mintz initiated and led KIDNAPPED, a global grassroots street art campaign, uniting communities worldwide through bold interventions to raise awareness of the Israeli hostages taken on October 7, 2023.

Slow Art Day 2025
2025-04-05 13:00 - 17:00 | Lehigh University Art Galleries, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.
On April 05, 2025, LUAG, along with 128 museums and organizations across the world, from the United States to Germany, Zambia, China, Brazil, France, El Salvador, Britain, Ukraine, and many other countries, will invite people in their communities to hit the pause button. Visitors will gather inside virtual spaces to take part in international Slow Art Day and slow down as they look at art.
Stop by LUAG for self-guided activites and opportunities to spend time with great works of art. The average person looks at a painting for fifteen to thirty seconds, but on Slow Art Day, we urge visitors to spend 5 to 10 minutes closely examining a work of art – or longer if the work captivates and inspires them.
Why slow? When people look slowly at a piece of art they make discoveries. The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert (or expertise). And that’s an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers. Visit the Slow Art Day website for more programs and information.
Read more about LUAG’s Slow Art Day 2023 here.

ART RECEPTION: Spring Student Exhibit
2025-04-04 18:00 - 20:00 | 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) Visual Arts Department presents its annual “SPRING STUDENT EXHIBIT” April 4-11, 2025 in the school’s Corpora Gallery.
This much-anticipated exhibition featuring close to 100 original student works is a must-see event! There will be a FREE Opening Reception on April 4th from 6-8 PM, as part of the Southside Arts District’s First Friday celebration.
The Charter Arts Visual Arts Department provides a structured and classical art education. Students are rigorously trained in drawing, painting, sculpture, design, and educated in art history. The goal is to promote a return to excellence in the visual arts through intensive training and the implementation of high standards.
Presented as an academic as well as an artistic pursuit, the courses inspire students to perceive connections between art and other subject areas. Students build upon learned concepts with the intention of gaining mastery, concentration, a strong work ethic, and self-discipline. Through practice, study, analysis, reading, and research, they learn to apply their intelligence and discernment to the art they create.
ABOUT THE LEHIGH VALLEY CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL FOR THE ARTS (Charter Arts):
Charter 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 and 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.
Charter Arts’ rigorous curriculum fosters both academic and artistic excellence for its students. The school’s impressive Future Ready PA Index ranking, Advanced Placement (AP) exam statistics, Keystone Exam statistics, SAT scores, prestigious artistic accolades, and graduation rate, are testaments to the outstanding education that Charter Arts provides.
Recently, Charter Arts was ranked as #1 Best Public High School Teachers in PA and #1 Best Charter High School in Pennsylvania on Niche’s 2025 Best Schools in America Rankings. In addition, Charter Arts was one of only four Lehigh Valley schools to be ranked on U.S. News & World Report’s 2024 Top 100 Public High Schools in PA.

The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts will delight audiences with its production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, March 20-23, 2025. This fun musical comedy tells the heartfelt tale of six awkward spelling champions who learn that winning (and losing) isn’t everything.
The Lehigh Valley Charter High School for the Arts (Charter Arts) will delight audiences with its production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Music & Lyrics by William Finn, Book By Rachel Sheinkin, Conceived by Rebecca Feldman, March 20-23, 2025. The show is presented by the school’s production arts department in collaboration with the theatre, vocal, and instrumental music departments.
This fun musical comedy follows a group of middle school students as they compete in the title championship, spelling their way through outrageously complex vocabulary while coming to terms with the stress of competition and their own personal challenges. In the end, even the most desperate kids are comforted by the possibility of finding a friend who shares in both the pressure and love of competitive spelling.
This production features a talented cast of young actors with lead roles played by: Alex Androu, Fiona Clifford-Fotopoulos, Jadaline Fontanez, Simon Garfias, Rosie Grellet, Isavel Mendoza, Andi Schubert, and Kamai Williams.
The show is directed by Diane Wagner with music direction by Erica Dickson, technical direction by Ellen Schmoyer and choreography by Anelise Rodriguez. The pit orchestra is conducted by Thomas Maher.
Wagner shares: “From my perspective, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a perfect musical. The book offers a brilliant blend of humor and heart, and the music follows suit with lively, hilarious numbers like Magic Foot juxtaposed with the deep yearning of I Love You. It’s been a true joy working on this show with our students. We look forward to sharing it so that others can experience that same feeling.”
This 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. The assistant music director is Malāna Wilson and the stage manager is Destiny Williams.
Evening performances on March 20-22 at 7 PM. Matinee performances on March 23 at 2 PM. Tickets are $12-$17 and are available for purchase online at CharterArts.org.

Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Speaker Series: Dr. Ingrid Daubechies
2025-03-25 16:30 - 18:30 | Lehigh University Art Galleries, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, 18015, United States
Mathematicians Helping Art Conservators and Art Historians.
Public lecture with Phi Beta Kappa Induction Ceremony for new members.
In recent years, mathematical algorithms have helped art historians and art conservators putting together the thousands of fragments into which an unfortunate WWII bombing destroyed world famous frescos by Mantegna. Their work revealed that certain paintings by masters were “roll mates” (their canvases were cut from the same bolt), so they could virtually remove artifacts in preparation for a restoration campaign, and get more insight into paintings hidden underneath a visible one. The presentation reviews these applications and gives a glimpse into the mathematical aspects that make this possible.
Ingrid Daubechies is James B. Duke Professor Emerita of Mathematics and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University. She was recently awarded a National Medal of Science, the nation’s highest honor for scientists and engineers.
Professor Daubechies earned her Ph.D. in theoretical physics from Vrije Universiteit Brussel. Although her degree is in (theoretical) physics, she thought she would become an engineer while growing up. Her mother was heartbroken when she opted for pure science instead, and predicted Ingrid would end up in the gutter, jobless. Fortunately, matters turned out better. Her academic work focuses on mathematical methods for the analysis of signals, images and data, with applications in many directions.
She enjoys working in collaboration with others, in her scientific work as well as otherwise. The latter includes, most recently, a collaborative mixed media art installation that celebrates the beauty, creativity and fun of mathematics: https://mathemalchemy.org.
Light refreshments will be provided.
This event is sponsored by LUAG, Department of Mathematics, Department of Art, Architecture and Design, ADVANCE, and the Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Speaker Series.

Rosie the Riveter Day
2025-03-22 10:00 - 17:00 | National Museum of Industrial History, 602 E 2nd Street, Bethlehem, 18015, United States
Join us as we celebrate the hard-working women in industry during World War II.
1pm FILM SCREENING: The Life & Times of Rosie the Riveter
Domestic. Shop girl. Waitress. Cook. Those were the jobs for women in the 1930’s — when they could get work. Suddenly the U.S. entry into World War II created an unprecedented demand for new workers. Notions of what was proper work for women changed overnight. Thousands of posters and billboards appeared calling on women to “Do the Job He Left Behind.” Rosie the Riveter was born — the symbol of working women during World War II.
After whirlwind training, women found themselves doing “men’s work” and they did it so well that production levels rose despite the military call-up of millions of male workers. They discovered a new sense of pride and dignity in their work. Their earnings leapt upwards. Many joined unions and found substantial new benefits from labor representation. And for the first time in history, black women gained entry into major industrial plants.
When the war was over, Rosie wanted to stay. But neither the structure of the American economy nor the dominant view of women’s place in society sustained such hopes.
The story is told by the women themselves — five former “Rosies” who movingly recall their histories working in Detroit, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco during the war. Their testimony is interwoven with rare archival recruitment films, stills, posters, ads and music from the period which contrast their experiences with the popular legend and mythology of Rosie the Riveter.
2pm FILM SCREENING: No Time To Waste
No Time to Waste celebrates legendary 98-year-old park ranger Betty Reid Soskin‘s inspiring life, work and urgent mission to restore critical missing chapters of America’s story. The film follows her journey as an African American woman presenting her personal story from a kitchen stool in a national park theater to media interviews and international audiences who hang on every word she utters.
The documentary captures her fascinating life — from the experiences of a young Black woman in a WWII segregated union hall, through her multi-faceted career as a singer, activist, mother, legislative representative and park planner to her present public role.
At the Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park, Betty illuminates the invisible histories of African Americans and other people of color. Her efforts have changed the way the National Park Service conveys this history to audiences across the U.S., challenging us all to move together toward a more perfect union.
All programs included with regular museum admission. Come dressed as Rosie for $2 off admission.

All are invited to attend this full-day event that highlights research being conducted by Lehigh students and faculty across a wide range of departments and disciplines. Sessions will take place at Lehigh University Art Galleries and nearby spaces in Zoellner Arts Center and academic buildings. Refreshments and a light lunch will be provided.

Join us for an engaging lecture and discussion centered on Seeds of Liberation, a thought-provoking installation currently on view at LUAG as part of the Art, Architecture and Design Faculty Exhibition. This collaborative work by Christina Chi Zhang, Dean Caivano, and Clare Fentress examines prison abolition through the lens of care, community, and collective action.
The installation unearths stories and symbols of liberation through three “seeds”: the history of Anna d’Angola and her land in Manhattan, moments of humanity within the walls of incarceration at the Central California Women’s Facility, and seed bombs that invite participants to imagine a future without prisons.
Together, the three seeds inspire reflection on the transformation of carceral landscapes and the possibilities of liberation through care and imagination. Through a combination of architectural models, interactive components, and poetic storytelling, Seeds of Liberation challenges visitors to consider how the logic of incarceration can be dismantled and replaced with systems rooted in humanity and equity.
The presenters will offer insights into the artists’ research and creative process. Don’t miss this opportunity to explore how art and scholarship intersect to envision a more just and liberated society.

Thomas Shillea and Doug Zucco: “Artists and Teachers” exhibit
2025-02-23 08:00 - 2025-04-01 16:00 | Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery, 10 East Church Street, Bethlehem, PA, 18018, United States
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.
For 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.
Working 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.
The joint exhibition is sponsored by the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission (www.bfac-lv.org) and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

Your guide, dressed in Colonial attire, will lead you through the Moravian Museum, located in the 1741 Gemeinhaus, to explore the early Moravians’ practices in love, courtship, marriage and physical intimacy, many of which were informed by their faith.

Art in Dialogue: Sacred Journeys - Exploring the Art and Meaning of Pilgrimage
2025-02-19 16:30 - 18:00 | Lehigh University Art Galleries, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Three of the works in LUAG’s Spring 2025 Art, Architecture and Design Faculty Exhibition are inspired by a pilgrimage. But what is pilgrimage? What makes pilgrimage different from any other form of travel or tourism? What are some of the reasons people make a pilgrimage?
In The Art of Pilgrimage, Phil Cousineau writes:
Pilgrimage is the kind of journeying that marks just this move from mindless to mindful, soulless to soulful travel. The difference may be subtle or dramatic; by definition it is life-changing.
Pilgrimage encompasses a desire to experience something authentic, and a belief that the way to achieve that is through a meaningful journey. The journey itself will present obstacles to overcome, and the effort and attention required will be transformative.
At this Art in Dialogue series event, panelists will discuss their perspectives on pilgrimage, followed by a discussion with the audience and light refreshments.

Linda has a BA from the University of Maryland and a MFA from Maryland Institute of Arts and has studied at the Barnstone Studio and the Baum school. At present she teaches art in Coopersburg. Painting is a way of preserving a moment in time when studying an individual or when looking intently at a scene. Painting outdoors, on location, brings a rush of excitement that comes from working quickly with accuracy. In portraiture, I try to capture on canvas the beauty of the inner soul that I see in an individual.

Through March 31st - 15th Annual Hope & Healing Juried Art Show
2025-02-15 08:00 - 2025-03-31 17:00 | Lehigh University Art Galleries, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Art is a window of hope when an actual window is not possible
High 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.
Students 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.
Last 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.
Art 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.
Select 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.
Healing 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.
This exhibition is presented in partnership with the Lehigh University Art Galleries for the planning, installation, and exhibition programming.

Access Culture: Intro to Audio Description in Arts Organizations (Session 1)
2025-02-12 13:00 - 15:00 | Lehigh University Art Galleries, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Discover the art of audio description (AD) and how it can make arts organizations (museums, theaters, etc.) more inclusive! In this two-hour workshop, we’ll introduce the basics of crafting vivid, engaging descriptions for artworks and explore how audio description is used in the museum setting. You’ll learn through examples of both effective and ineffective descriptions, discuss the creation process and its implementation, and see how LUAG Education & Accessibility Students and Staff incorporate community feedback into our audio description efforts.
Participants will leave with online resources, examples of audio descriptions, and a clear understanding of how to implement audio descriptions in their education practices to enhance accessibility for all audiences.
This workshop is part of the Access Culture (AD) series, which includes sessions on audio description and tactile materials. While attending all three workshops is encouraged, each can stand alone. Find links to the other events in this series on our events page and join us for one—or all!

Brandon Dominguez, born in Mexico, and now an Allentown resident, is a boundary-pushing contemporary artist navigating the realms of abstract and pop art. At the heart of his creative universe are the iconic characters Brian(the Brain) and Moonie(the Moonie), who take center stage in his vivid compositions. Dominguez masterfully employs vibrant colors, crisp lines, and dynamic motion to convey the universal spectrum of human emotions. Influenced by the whimsical charm of rubberhose animation, his work invites viewers on a journey to explore the essence of creativity and the myriad emotions that make us uniquely human. In each piece, Dominguez seeks not only to showcase his artistic prowess but also to unravel the intricacies of what it means to be a creative being. His art spans from painting on canvas to AR and 3D work, art toys, and street art. Dominguez’s work has been exhibited in multiple galleries across the state and is collected worldwide. For more information and to view Brandon’s work, please visit his website.

Connect & Create workshops offer a brief exploration and creative conversation around a work of art from the LUAG collection, followed by a hands-on activity and/or creative response led by a local teaching artist or student educator.

One Vision of Queen feat. Marc Martel
2025-02-08 19:30 - 21:30 | Zoellner Arts Center, 420 E Packer Ave, Bethlehem, PA, United States
We Will Rock You, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, We Are the Champions, and the legendary Bohemian Rhapsody are songs that scratch the surface of rock supergroup Queen’s legacy. There was only one Freddie Mercury. His unique vocals have made it nearly impossible to perform his music as he did. Finally, Marc Martel and One Vision of Queen perform Freddie’s music as it should be. Legendary Queen drummer Roger Taylor remarked to the Daily Record: “That voice. You listen, close your eyes, and you think it’s Freddie. It’s really uncanny.” You may have heard Marc when he last performed at Zoellner to standing ovations or his vocals that were part of Rami Malek’s Academy Award-winning performance in Bohemian Rhapsody, the highly acclaimed Queen biopic.

Kings Return is a vocal band of brothers: Gabe Kunda, Vaughn Faison, J.E. McKissic and Jamall Williams. The Dallas-based a capella group was formed unintentionally in 2016 after first singing together for Gabe’s college graduation recital. Their popularity grew when they began posting videos to social media from the stairwell where they rehearsed. Their sound has earned comparisons to iconic acts like Take 6 and Boyz II Men. They have amassed almost 10 million views across all platforms and have been recognized by artists and brands such as Emily King, Anita Baker, Anthony Anderson, Joyce DiDonato, Apple, NPR, Dallas Morning News and so many more. Avoiding the confines of a single genre, Kings Return’s sound is proudly born out of gospel, jazz, R&B/soul, and classical music. “The name Kings Return is a reflection of ourselves. We are Kings who go forth to conquer but most importantly we return to give back to our community.”

YAMATO’s Taiko drumming is a unique blend of rhythm, movement, and energy that must be experienced to be fully understood.

They do not simply make their Taiko drums explode with sound; they produce delicate music that provides the listener with a palette of meticulously crafted sound. YAMATO’s performances are known as physical music — sometimes intense, sad, comforting, yet in the next moment comical. They have performed over 4,000 shows in 54 countries.

When Coal Was King: An Introduction to Anthracite Mining and Culture in Pennsylvania
2025-01-26 11:00 - 12:00 | National Museum of Industrial History, 98 E 2nd St, Bethlehem, PA, United States
Anthracite coal mined in Pennsylvania propelled the American Industrial Revolution and pushed our nation into its modern form. Although most of the men and women who made the Mines run are gone and largely forgotten, they left their mark on the world around us. This lecture will help guests understand the mines, miners, their legacy and how anthracite is still prevalent in our daily life whether we know it or not.
The talk will be given by Robert Homyak, an aspiring historian from the anthracite coal region of Pennsylvania and current sophomore at Moravian University majoring in History and Historical Studies. He has lived in the coal region his entire life and has amassed four generations of knowledge of the mines and their inner workings. The presentation will use images and artifacts from his personal and family collection as well as coal region historical societies. “I see the knowledge of the coal region being lost daily and want to preserve it the best I can. ”
On January 26th, the National Museum of Industrial History is offering free admission from 10am-5pm. This program is free to the public.
