Adams County Arts Council's Jingle Ball
Saturday, December 4th, 6-11 PM
The Gettysburg National Military Park Visitors’ Center
I’ll have only one hour at the Adams County Arts Council’s annual fundraising gala, the Jingle Ball, to design, paint, pull, seal, and frame a print that will go up for auction to benefit the non-profit. Should be challenging — and fun!
The bottom portion of the image above shows the clay matrix that I’ll be designing on prior to the gala. Some of these elements may impact the finished print.
Elemental: Earth, Fire, Water, Air 2021
Visual Realia was pleased to have a print in the juried Maryland Federation of Art online "Elemental: Earth, Fire, Water, Air 2021" exhibit.

"Pigment" Reception & Exhibit Extension
Andrew Smith’s (Visual Realia) “Pigment” exhibit is extended through August.
The “Pigment” exhibit of clay monoprints by Andrew Smith of Visual Realia has been extended through August and refreshed. The exhibit for the month has twenty-six works, with seven prints new to the Gallery display.
The exhibit can be seen during the Adams County Arts Council’s regular hours, or by contacting Andy for after-hours access. In addition, the exhibit will be part of the Arts Council’s First Friday reception, running from 5-7:30 PM on Friday, August 6th. Andy will be present and will have the clay matrix used for the prints in the gallery. Questions are welcome!
The Adams County Arts Council is located at 125 South Washington Street, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Visual Realia "Pigment" Exhibit Running
The "Pigment" exhibit continues at the Adams County Arts Council. The Gallery may be in use at times during the day but ask at the front desk if you can view the exhibit.
Feel free to contact me to arrange a visit during an evening or weekend. I'd be happy to meet you there and answer any questions.
Eight of the thirty works have sold, so this is the last chance to see some of these works.
"Pigment" Reception July 2nd
A reception for the “Pigment” exhibition will be held on July 2nd, 2021.
A reception for the summer exhibits at the Adams County Arts Council, including the 30 clay monoprints in my “Pigment” exhibit, is being held on Friday, July 2nd, 2021. Hours for the reception are 5:00 - 7:30 PM.
The clay monoprint medium was developed by Pennsylvania artist Mitch Lyons, who combined techniques of both pottery and printmaking to create one-of-a-kind prints utilizing clay slip rather than paints or ink. The clay board (matrix) used to design the prints will be on display during the reception. Questions for the artist are encouraged.
The Adams County Arts Council is located at 125 South Washington Street, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. There is no charge to attend the exhibit or reception.
Visual Realia Clay Monoprint Exhibit Open Now
A solo exhibit of my clay monoprint works is now open in the Adams County Arts Council (ACAC) gallery through July 2021.
Summer hours for the ACAC are typically Monday through Friday, 8:30-4:30, with varied Saturday and evening hours when events or classes are held. The Arts Council is very active with classes, so there may be times when a class uses the gallery; feel free to ask at the front desk if viewing is possible.
The official reception for the summer exhibits will be held on the evening of Friday, July 2nd, from 5:00 - 7:30 PM. I'd love to have you attend!
The Adams County Arts Council is located at 125 South Washington Street, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
(I'll also be selling unframed monoprints at a pop-up art market outside of York's fantastic I-ron-ic coffee house on June 12th.)
