Bloomsburg

“Face Value”

Show runs Monday, March 18th, through Friday, April 26th, at the Exchange Gallery, 24 East Main Street in Bloomsburg.

The Exchange

Reception for: “Art of the Roaring Creek Valley”

Friday, May 6th @ 5PM

The 80-square-mile Roaring Creek watershed lies in Columbia, Montour, and Northumberland Counties; it includes the popular trails around the reservoirs in Weiser State Forest as well as the farm country surrounding Fisherdale, Mill Grove, Numidia, Slabtown — and Knoebels. Just as we had done in the “SITEexchange” show, we want to see your artwork, in any medium, that celebrates this lovely part of our region.

This show marks the first collaboration between The Exchange and the Roaring Creek Valley Conservation Association, which seeks to conserve the natural resources of the basin and its rich culture through watershed stewardship, education, and monitoring.
