From Gettysburg to Williamsport - It's ALL About Art!

An ART-ful Destination in Central PA!

Does your heart beat a little faster when you hear the words: Mixed media, painting, pottery, sculpture, photography, jewelry? What if we added tasty local wines, deliciously inventive meals, and cozy, relaxing lodgings to the mix?

And what if I told you these features and more are here for you to explore and experience when you journey through the heart of Pennsylvania by following the Route 15 Artisan Trail? 

The newly launched website, Rt 15 By Way of the Arts, is your ultimate guide to all art and tourism events held along the Trail. The website makes planning your journey quick and easy by arranging artisans and events by county. Updated by four daily newspapers, The Williamsport Sun-Gazette, Sunbury DailyItem, The Carlisle Sentinel, and The Gettysburg Times content is focused to bring you the best in uniquely flavored regional arts and entertainment.

Looking for a special gift? Why not interact with the artist as they create? Searching for a charming location to rest, relax, and rejuvenate? It’s here for you on Route 15.

I admit I am biased. I live along the Route and have explored many of the destinations. For this reason I am so excited to share this with you. Even if you can’t journey with us physically, I hope you will take the time to experience what our area has to offer.  The website is a showcase of galleries, theaters, festivals, artists and more.

Creativity thrives along Route 15. Hope you’ll come along for the journey!

Are You Ready To Flood The Streets?

I recently learned of this event and thought it was a fantastic idea.

The organiser Scott Wong promotes Free Art Friday in Wisconsin. He now is trying to make this event global in nature.  The concept is simple...make a piece of art and leave it somewhere to be "found". The date for the event is Black Friday, November 29th. Full details are found on Scott's Facebook page.

When I read about Free Art Friday, I couldn't help but think of one of my most favourite films, Amelie and the wonderful feeling you are left with at the finale.  I hope I can get an ATC together in time to make my drop. Now the question remains...where should it be?

What an inspiring way to spread the spirit of your Muse...and who knows...maybe bring a little love and happiness to the recipient.

So...are you in?
