The Artistic Side of Centre Square

Easton is a hub for the arts, and depictions of Centre Square have shown up time and time again over the years and surely will into the future... Photographs, postcards, paintings, sketches and so on, showcase Easton’s “Great Square”. Here are just a few examples. Top right: a postcard titled Market at Centre Square, printed in 1998 featuring an original watercolor by Joyce Hanlon done in 1997. Below: a postcard titled Centre Square Easton, PA features an original

sketch by artist Robert Doney. It was Commissioned by the Two Rivers Area Commerce Council and printed during the 1980s. Bottom left: the cover of Easton Inkscapes: Impressions of antique buildings and streetscapes within the historic district of Easton, Pennsylvania by Timothy George Hare, Architect. The book, published in 1989 and commissioned by the City of Easton, features fine pen and ink drawings of the city’s historic architecture. The image was featured on the cover of the 2014 Easton Christmas Book. Thanks to Hare’s efforts towards preserving historic buildings in Easton, the city still holds its historic charm and splendor. Tim Hare was a treasure to Easton, and the community was greatly saddened by his passing on July 4, 2020. Bottom right: a painting by Easton artist Preston K. Hindmarch, who now lives in Florida with his wife Sue; they are very much missed. The painting was done for the cover of the 2010 Easton Christmas Book.
