A highlight of the current Makers Alley Spring/Summer Exhibition – open to the public on weekends through July 7 at Lambertville Hall, 57 Bridge St., Lambertville, N.J. – will be two Makers Talks on Fridays, June 28 and July 5, both at 6:30 p.m.
The Makers Talk Series provides a unique opportunity for artists, art collectors and enthusiasts to learn more about these artists’ creative process and challenges. Peter Rosenthal, Makers Alley founder and the curator of this Spring/Summer Exhibition, will moderate the panel discussion on June 28. All four artists have their artwork in the exhibition.
During the reception following the panel discussion, the audience will be able to enjoy the over 100 works of art on view and for sale. The exhibition will benefit the Bucks County Playhouse. The guests will also have the fun and engagement of casting their ballots for the People’s Choice Awards. The Makers Alley Talks are free and open to the public, donations accepted.
The June 28 artist/speakers include: Gil Malave, founder of the NJ Woodturners Club; Glen Guarino, a furniture artist for over 40 years; Rob McAllister, a self-taught woodworker residing in New Hope; and Philadelphia-based Lighting Designer Christopher Poehlmann.
On July 5, artist and musician Joseph Coco, will present “Is Seeing Believing?” If seeing is believing, what common ground is there when looking at art? This presentation unravels why images are not always understood as the artist may have intended, yet appreciated by the imagination of the viewer.
A professor of studio art, art history and music history at Centenary University, in New Jersey, Coco has 30 years of college teaching experience. His art is in over 350 public and private collections. Of his 58 albums, five are in the Rock ‘ N Roll Hall Of Fame.
