For the past 11 years, we have celebrated the beauty
of the Schuylkill River region through an art event that has evolved and
grown into the annual
Scenes of the Schuylkill River Heritage Area exhibit
we hold each fall. So, it's always an exciting day for our staff when
the art work arrives and the judge selects the winners.
On Sept. 2, a total of 112 pieces of art and photography were delivered to the
Montgomery County Community College West Campus Gallery
in Pottstown. Dozens of talented artists came from all across the
Schuylkill River Corridor to submit original pieces in a wide range of
mediums and styles.
The following day, the show was juried by this year's judge Lisa
Tremper Hanover, Director & CEO, of the James A. Michener Art Museum
in Doylestown. She selected 82 works to remain in the show, and chose
three winning entries and two honorable mentions. A staff choice award
was also determined by the Schuylkill River Heritage Area staff for a
work that represented the Schuylkill River, in honor of the Schuylkill
as PA's 2014 River of the Year.
