Some sessions will be more guided than others. \nAny unfinished clay pieces should go home with you. We will do our best to provide you with plastic and wrap enough to walk out with your piece so you can keep it moist enough to complete it and dry it ahead of firing. Please plan ahead if you know you were looking to make something complex that you’ll want to take home and continue working on. \nThis is an ongoing workshop offering. You can come to this session\, take your piece home to finish and dry it fully\, then bring it back in the future to have it fired. Or you can complete your piece in the 2 hour session and leave it at the studio to dry and be fired for you.

SUMMARY:Stonewall: The Riot That Built a Community
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an incredible evening with Mark Segal\, a trailblazer and advocate who has played a pivotal role in the LGBTQ+ community\n\n\nMark Segal was 18 years old on the night of June 28th\, 1969\, when he entered the Stonewall Inn. Raised by the only Jewish family in south Philadelphia’s Wilson Park housing project\, Segal was no stranger to being an outsider. He told his parents he was leaving Philly to go to school in New York. In truth\, he’d left to find a gay community. Watching an episode of The David Susskind Show years earlier he’d learned that gay people existed in New York and he knew then that was where he belonged. \nSegal would go on to organize some of the earliest American LGBT organizations\, help plan the first Pride March in 1970\, found the longest running LGBT weekly newspaper\, the Philadelphia Gay News\, and become one of the most important figures in the alternative gay press. But on that night at Stonewall he was still a teenager just exulting in the chance to drink and socialize with other LGBT people at a time when homosexuality was still treated as a psychological affliction by the medical establishment\, immoral by most religions\, and criminal under law. \nPenn State Great Valley encourages persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation or have questions about the physical access provided\, please contact Becky Stanko at rus1078@psu.edu or call 610-648-3236\, ideally 2 weeks prior to the program to allow sufficient time to effectively meet your access needs.

SUMMARY:Art and Connect with NextGen at Bok
DESCRIPTION:Studio Incamminati and Natural Lands’ NextGen Council invite you\, especially if you’re in your 20s\, 30s\, or 40s\, to an exciting exhibit of original art: Gregory Blue and the Landscapes of Stroud Preserve. This special evening celebration will mark the commencement of the dazzling exhibit\, which features 40+ works\, large and small\, inspired by Natural Lands’ Stroud Preserve and created by artist Gregory Blue over the last several years. \nStudio Incamminati\, which will host the exhibit\, has been at the forefront of the contemporary realist art movement for two decades. Founded by Nelson and Leona Shanks\, it is now recognized internationally for its rigorous curriculum\, accomplished instructors\, and diverse outreach efforts. \nStudio Incamminati makes its home in South Philadelphia’s Bok building\,  an old school turned workspace — full of makers\, businesses\, nonprofits\, and artists. Gregory’s work will be showcased from February 29 to May 3. \nNatural Lands’ Next Gen council raises awareness of Natural Lands throughout the region and promotes opportunities for people in their 20s\, 30s\, and 40s to get involved in our work. Join us for a meet and greet with the artist in a unique and fun venue. \nThe Bok Bar is bringing the cash bar to the Studio. If the weather cooperates\, enjoy your drink on the roof of the 7th floor overlooking the skyline of Philadelphia. There is no charge to attend. Bring a friend and enjoy an evening of art at the Bok. \nLove this painting? Attend the event\, finish the scavenger hunt\, and be entered into a raffle for your chance to win this print – a closed edition of 100 prints on German etching paper\, signed and dated by the artist. \n \nAbout the artist – Gregory Blue:  \nFor more than 40 years\, Gregory Blue’s landscape paintings have taken inspiration from the bucolic imagery and natural beauty of the region of Bucks and Chester County\, Pennsylvania. As the first major exhibition of Blue’s work in almost 20 years\, this show opens a fascinating view into the artist’s evolving process and approach. Blue’s world vision is saturated with color\, patterns\, and textures encountered at various times of day under changing light conditions. The resulting exploration is a symphony of highly controlled yet powerfully dramatic tableaux that resound with brilliantly colored\, evocatively illuminated rural scenes typical of southeastern Pennsylvania. \n\n\nGETTING TO STUDIO INCAMMINATI \n\n\n\n\nStudio Incamminati is located in Building Bok at 1901 S 9th Street\, 7th Floor\, and accessible by auto or public transit.
