Visitors Step Back in Time at ‘Seeing Stella’ Art Exhibition

 Bucks County Community College celebrated the opening of “Seeing Stella: An Installation by Jen Blazina” on September 9 on the Newtown Campus. The stunning solo exhibition features an immersive tableau of glass, bronze, and plaster sculptures by Philadelphia-based artist Jen Blazina. The works examine the life, taste, and legacy of Stella Elkins Tyler (1884 - 1963), on whose historic estate the Newtown Campus was built. Carol Tyler, widow of Stella Tyler’s grandson George F. Tyler III, and her daughter Amy Shea joined members of the College and the community for the event. The exhibition is on display through October 17 at the Hicks Art Center Gallery.
