www.artsaleandtour.com 301-777-ARTS (2787) The 2013 Mountain Maryland Art Sale and Tour is coordinated by the Allegany Arts Council on behalf of the many talented visual artists in Western Maryland. The Tour has grown into a highly anticipated annual event. Several new artists, along with many longtime favorites, will grace the pages of the colorful 2013 Art Sale and Tour Guidebook, available from the Allegany Arts Council, and from each of the participating artists. Information is also available online from www.artsaleandtour.com, as well as links to hotels, area attractions and special getaway promotions. If traveling west from Hagerstown, start with a visit to Tony Cornwell (artist number 1), who calls Little Orleans home. The visual is key in all Tony does—even in the simplest project. He sees the beauty and character in “old-stuff” and loves to re-purpose and re-invent. Just outside of Cumberland, Mary Kammauff, Ginger Squires, and Linda Stewart (artist numbers 5, 6 and 7) will be displaying work at The Arts Place at Puccini’s. Mary, a glass artist, works with dichroic glass to create bright and colorful jewelry. Linda enjoys working with paper to create one-of-a-kind monoprints, collages and paper sculptures. Linda also creates unique paper jewelry. At Tangram Woodworks in Cumberland, Jean Barnes Downs, Frank Fotia, and Patricia
www.vall ey rev ue .co m
Hilton (artist numbers 9, 10 and 11) will be displaying work. Jean will present a new series, “Earthsongs,” inspired by her time as Artist-inResidence at Mesa Verde National Park. Says Frank about his photography, “I make use of the world around me to create images that I hope will carry a lasting impact: that elicit a deep feeling, establish an emotional connection, or form a personal association.” Patricia says about her work, “For a couple of years I have been painting mostly ‘en plein air’—on location and without the aid of a camera. I am fascinated in particular by water—the movement, the sparkle, the reflection, the everchanging nature of it.” In Garrett County at Snowbird Creations is the fused art glass of Julie Turrentine (artist number 38). “I like to push the envelope regarding glass and have discovered my own methods to get the unusual result that I am trying to achieve.” While traveling around during the Mountain Maryland Art Sale and Tour this year, be sure to enter the drawing for a chance to win $100 in cash that will be given away after each weekend. Visitors may enter the drawing at each location where they stop to visit artists. For questions about the 2013 Mountain Maryland Art Sale and Tour, please contact the Allegany Arts Council at 301-777-ARTS (2787). OCTOB E R 2 013

REFLECTING ON ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY YEARS PAST
Sesquicentennial Commemoration of the American Civil War
1863 – The Decisive Year of the Civil War Provided by Bonnie A. Shockey, President & CEO, Allison-Antrim Museum, Inc. On Friday and Saturday, November 1 and 2, at Green Grove Gardens Event Center, Shady Grove, PA, AllisonAntrim Museum will hold the final GreencastleAntrim Civil War 150th event of 2013, entitled: 1863 – The Decisive Year of the Civil War. There will be a slate of nationally-known Civil War historians who will speak throughout the two-day event. Ed Bearss, Chief Historian Emeritus of the National Park Service, will be the keynote speaker after the Friday evening dinner. In addition to speakers, living historians, suttlers, cannon firing, and Civil War book authors and book signings are on the agenda. Scholars and historians have long debated, written about, and submitted thesis papers for university degrees regarding the question, “When was the turning point of the Civil War?” The facts are: in 1863, the Union won the Battle of Vicksburg, in the Western Theater, and they won the Battle of Gettysburg, in the Eastern Theater. Lincoln, also, issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, which freed those slaves being held in the states that seceded from the Union. U.S. ambassadors were sent by Lincoln to England and France to persuade those two countries not to get involved in the Civil War by recognizing the Confederate States of America. The diplomacy worked, with www.vall ey rev ue .co m
the aid of the Emancipation Proclamation. Bearss is an internationally acclaimed military historian. He is the author of more than 20 books and is well known as a “talking head” on the History Channel. Bearss has written and speaks extensively on various aspects of American military history, including the American Revolution, Civil War, Indian Wars, and WWII. He served his country as a U.S. Marine during WWII in the Pacific Theatre, where he was wounded in action while charging a Japanese machine gun nest. During Bearss’ tenure with the National Park Service he was instrumental in developing historical interpretation for War in the Pacific National Historical Park in Guam and the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. He has also led tours of the D-Day battlefields in France. Bearss has been a guest speaker on six prior occasions for Allison-Antrim Museum, last speaking in the GreencastleAntrim area in April 2012. A special thank you to Franklin County Visitors Bureau as a sponsor of this event.
