Expression Through Tradition

Stirner Modern Gallery 230 Ferry St. Suite 1, Easton, PA Hours Wed.-Sunday 12-5 September 3-26

An exhibition of photographs by The Monalog Collective. MonalogTM, a new word derived from “monochrome” and “analog” because we don’t make color prints or incorporate anything digital in what we do. The exhibition is comprised of 42 photographs—everything from landscapes to portraits, nudes to still lifes. On Sept. 17 at 7:00, Chris Karfakis will talk about his collection of daguerreotypes that are displayed in the exhibition. On our closing day, Sept. 26, we are on the schedule with 20/20 Photo Festival for a walk through between 1:002:00. There is an incredible mix of style and method among these 13 analog photographers: Beverly Conway, Ed Eckstein, Mel Evans, Jim Fitzgerald, Martin Frank, David Hass, Chris Karfakis, Jim Kipfer, Paul Margolis, Michael Marks, Claudia Rippee, Gary Samson and Drew Wagner.

92nd Juried Art Show at Phillips’ Mill

2619 River Road, New Hope, PA 18938 215-862-0582 phillipsmill.org September 25–October 31 1:00–5:00 daily

Autumn in Bucks County means brilliant foliage along country roads and the Delaware River. To art lovers, it means the much-anticipated Juried Art Show at Phillips’ Mill just north of New Hope.

The prestigious show celebrates its 92nd year at the Phillips’ Mill Community Association’s beloved, historic 18th century mill where, in 1929, artists including William Lathrop, Edward Redfield, Fern Coppedge, George Sotter, Daniel Garber and John Folinsbee exhibited their work while simultaneously giving birth to the New Hope School of Pennsylvania Impressionism. Last year the show went online for the first time. This year’s show will be both live and online. Devoted to the area’s vibrant arts tradition, the Phillips’ Mill Art Show features the work of artists from within a 25-mile radius, juried by a different group of esteemed jurors each year. Always different, it never disappoints.
