Winter Impressions Group Art Exhibition Reception
Hicks Art Center | Newtown Campus
The School of Arts and Communication of Bucks County Community College is pleased to announce that the upcoming group exhibition Winter Impressions, will be held at the Hicks Art Center from December 18th, 2024, through February 8, 2025.
Winter illicits a plethora of emotions leading up to the end of the calendar year and into the new year during which a wide range of cultural, religious and family celebrations are held. Especially where weather plays a major role in the way people spend their time inside and outside, people react differently to winter’s varying temperatures, often in the extreme, by embracing winter sport, decorating their homes, creating art, or hibernating indoors. Holiday preparations ramp up with artists and craftspeople hosting open studios and pop-up shows for the public to find that unique gift you won’t find in big box retailers. For the exhibition Winter Impressions, over 20 local artists have responded to an open call for which they were asked to provide artworks that evoke a sense of winter in any media. The exhibition will be on view outside the main gallery of Hicks Art Center in the hallways and Atrium Gallery that surround the enclosed outdoor courtyard.
Winter and the holiday season can be especially difficult for people facing hardship. For this reason, visitors to the exhibition are encouraged to bring new, unused clothing which will be donated to the Bucks County Emergency Homeless Shelter and non-perishable food items which will be given to the college’s food pantry, Bucks Market, a free service for Bucks students.
