Bucks County Community College invites the public to a closing reception and artist panel discussion for the acclaimed exhibition “The ArtShow” from 5 – 8 p.m. Thursday, July 17.
Curated by artist and podcast host Craig Stover, “The ArtShow” brings together a dynamic collection of multimedia works by 37 Philadelphia area artists who have been featured on his podcast of the same name. Each piece of art in the exhibition includes a QR code that takes you to the podcast episode with that artist. Most of the artworks are for sale with a percentage of any sales going towards student scholarships.
“This culminating event offers art lovers a final opportunity to experience this diverse and compelling exhibition,” said Clifford Eberly, exhibitions associate at the public, two-year college. “What’s more, the special artist panel discussion gives attendees a rare, behind-the-scenes look into the creative processes and inspirations of the exhibiting artists.”
Kicking off the reception at 5 p.m., Eberly will moderate the panel discussion that includes Francis Beaty, Jill Bonovitz, Diane Burko, Jon Eckel, Rachel Romano, Stuart Rome, Rebecca Rutstein, Gerri Spilka, and Craig Stover.
The exhibition runs through Saturday, July 19, at the Newtown Campus located at 275 Swamp Rd., Newtown, Pa., 18940.
The ArtShow podcast series is available on YouTube at “ArtShow with Craig Stover.”
Presented by the College’s School of Arts and Communication, “The ArtShow” highlights the vibrancy and innovation of Philadelphia’s contemporary art scene. Bucks offers eight associate degree majors and two certificate programs, and is an accredited institutional member of the National Association of Schools of Art and Design and the National Association of Schools of Music.
All events are free and open to the public. Free parking is available on campus. For directions, a campus map, or more information about the exhibition, visit the Newtown Campus page or the Hicks Art Center Gallery site. Follow along on Instagram at @bcccartscomm.
