SUMMARY:Shatter the Dark: a light at the end of the tunnel- Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Tunnels of darkness illuminate vessels with light in Shatter the dark: a light at the end of the tunnel.\n\n\nReception: July 10th 6pm – 8pm \nOn View: July 10th\, 2026 – August 15th\, 2026 \nArtist (s): Joe Grubb \nLocation: Kiosk Gallery at Utility Works (32 E Baltimore Ave) \nGallery Hours: Wednesday – Saturday\, noon – 6pm \n \nI started making lamps with black sculpture clay and quickly realized black clay does not transfer or reflect light. A friend suggested white porcelain\, which catches light and transfers it wonderfully. I hung a black lamp over a porcelain vessel and found emotional resonance with the combination. \n \nI am a shining vessel unaware of the source of my own light. \n \nI am a dark vessel of heat illuminating a cold\, remote object. \n \nGaze into the tunnel of darkness.  \nSee the light as it escapes you.  \nFeel the cracks in the foundation of your self-awareness. \n \nAbout the Artists: \nMy artistic life is a mining operation of faulty memories in dark tunnels of someone else’s creation. Sifting through the detritus of decades of the delirium of trauma\, substance abuse and mental illness for the resonant shards of reality and unreality that can be distilled into an object that I can hold against my face and say “this\, THIS is real. This happened.” \n \nMy favorite things that inform my work are biology and the natural world\, architecture and the semi-permanent built world\, and the space that each of us carves out to inhabit in between. \n \nThis is my first show. \n \nAbout the Gallery\nThis exhibition is organized by the Lansdowne Art Committee\, a volunteer group of The Lansdowne Economic Development Corporation. The mission of the Lansdowne Arts Committee is to create\, foster\, and promote Lansdowne’s identity as a vibrant and inspiring artistic community. The Lansdowne Art Committee is dedicated to nurturing creative expression\, enhancing community engagement\, stimulating economic growth\, preserving and celebrating Lansdowne’s diversity\, and cultivating arts education and access. \nThe Kiosk Gallery is located in the front Lobby of Utility Works\, a creative co-working space in Lansdowne PA*. Originally home to Delaware County Electric and built in the early 20th century\, Utility Works* has been transformed into a creative co-working building that houses 23 art studios\, a ceramics studio as well as a Maker Space. \nParking: There is a municipal lot behind Dunkin’ Donuts that is available to the public\, as well as additional street parking along Baltimore Ave and Highland Ave. \nGallery Accessibility \nInclusive Design: Our first floor is designed to be inclusive and ensure accessibility for all. \nApproachable Entrance: Our front door on Baltimore Ave. (look for the gold doors) is an accessible entrance. Please ask a member of staff if you need both doors open to gain entry. \nAccessible Restroom: We offer an accessible ADA-approved gender-neutral bathroom for the convenience of all visitors. \nWide Walkways: Our walkways are wide enough to accommodate wheelchair users\, ensuring smooth and easy navigation. \nAbout the Venue: \nUtility Works is a 7\,500 sq. ft. art studio building located at 32 East Baltimore Ave. in Lansdowne\, PA. Our Space is home to 23 artist studios\, a hot-desk co-working area\, a MakerSpace classroom\, a ceramic studio\, an art gallery\, and a juice bar. \nUtility Works is operated by the LEDC (Lansdowne Economic Development Corporation)\, a 501(c)(3) dedicated to fostering a human-centered ecosystem by supporting small businesses\, including brick-and-mortar stores\, entrepreneurs\, artists\, and makers.

DESCRIPTION:Pages of Pride: Junk Journal Workshop with Kyra Pope\n\n\nIn this activity\, led by mixed media artist Kyra Pope\, participants are invited to decorate the cover of their own handmade junk journal using a wide range of recycled and collage materials. These journals serve as a personal space to explore joy\, identity\, and self-expression! \nThis activity celebrates Black creativity\, hair empowerment\, and affirmation\, encouraging everyone to experiment with layering\, color\, words\, and texture.The goal isn’t perfection—it’s expression. \nNo experience is needed!

Kyra is a firm believer of the need and right of expression\, so as a passionate artist\, she strives to build community through art\, as well as create a space for underrepresented voices. Much of her work is centered around empowerment and the language of adornment; treating the creative process as both an archive and an offering. \n“I’m constantly inspired and grounded by the voices\, hands\, and stories that show up in shared spaces like this.” \nThis workshop is offered as part of ongoing creative programming for the Lansdowne community in an LEDC-associated space\, supporting artists who want to try something new in a relaxed\, collaborative environment. \nAges:\nRecommended for ages 10+\, with anyone age 10 – 16 required to have an accompanying adult present.
