SUMMARY:Cassies Craft Coven and Cherry Street Pier Present: Eggy
DESCRIPTION:Show of art celebrating the many themes of Spring\, with a concentration on all things EGG\n\n\nThe Craft Coven is hosting our second annual EGGY art show in the Cherry Street Pier first floor gallery until April 30th 2025. Opening reception will take place on April 4th for First Friday. \nWhat is EGGY?The theme eggy can be interpreted in many ways. This show is meant to be a celebration of all that Spring holds for our community. There are images that we connect with this time of year: eggs\, rabbits\, flowers\, raindrops\, color palette of pastels\, greens and pinks just for example. For some\, Spring is a moment of rebirth\, renewal and new beginnings. For others it’s when we get together to eat egg salad and get free candy. Join us to see a selection of work addressing this broad theme. \nThis show spans two locations- the community work will be displayed at Cherry Street Pier in their first floor gallery space. Work by Craft Coven organizer Cassie Jones will be on display at the Craft Coven Underground stufio at 10 north 3rd street. Stay tuned for more details on our planned gallery tour from Cherry Street Pier\, around Old City\, and ending at The Underground studio.

SUMMARY:Outdoors for All (Community Day Conference)
DESCRIPTION:Outdoors for All (Day Conference) convenes urban outdoor advocates around discussions centering improvement of access to natural resources.\n\n\nSince the summer of 2023\, the Sally Blagg Family Foundation has been building relationships with landscape partners from across the Appalachian landscapes. Our goal was to return to our early American roots of environmental stewardship; exploration\, subsistence farming and forest management. As we spent more time with individuals and institutions west of the fall line it became clear that deeper\, more intentional\, connectivity was necessary to bridge the so-called “urban/rural divide.” \nThe Outdoors for All (Community Day Conference) is a convening of urban outdoor advocates\, coming together around a series of discussions that center on improving access to state\, federal (public) as well as private lands for American family.
