Jingle Ball 2021

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.

Clay Monoprint Workshop — November 2021

Andrew Smith is offering a one-session clay monoprint workshop at the Adams County Arts Council in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday, November 10th, from 1-4 PM. Participants will use printmaking techniques with colored clay slips to create vibrant monoprints. Basic techniques will be introduced, followed by an open studio format where artists can explore and create their own works. Everyone will leave with two completed prints.

Questions may be directed to Andy at ostman4200@comcast.net. Registration information is available at:

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.

"Under the Ridge" Up for Auction

In 2018, Hanover Against Hunger packed close to 120,000 meals to be distributed worldwide where needed. This amazing local group raises funds for the project locally, including a silent auction of fourteen artworks.

My entry is "Under the Ridge," a 24" x 20" look down toward the town of Gettysburg from Seminary Ridge. (The building shown is part of the United Lutheran Seminary.)

To bid on the work or see the others available via auction, visit:

You may also view the works in person at the Hanover Area Arts Guild, located at 32 Carlisle Street, Hanover.

It's a wonderful organization with an impressive reach. Volunteer or place a bid!
