The Northwest Pennsylvania Artists Association’s Landscapes, Cityscapes and Seascapes will be on view in our second floor gallery August 20 - September 26 with the opening reception taking place on Thursday, August 20th during Collective Community - our monthly mixer for the creative crowd!

“True art lovers appreciate landscape. You can likely close your eyes and picture in your mind Van Gogh's Starry Night or the Giverny gardens of Monet. Sweeping vistas by the painters of the Hudson River School put American painting on the map. Edward Hopper's Nighthawks instantly transports viewers to a lonely street corner in what could be nearly any city in America. Winslow Homer somehow evoked the epic beauty and power of the ocean with a brush and a box of watercolors.

Erie has its own talented landscape artists, some of whom are nearly as legendary. If you frequent galleries around the tri-state area, you will know the work of Brad Lethaby, Adele Larson, Daniel Austin, Mary Hamilton, and Geoffry Dunn; all of whom are well known for their work depicting the great outdoors, and not coincidentally, are all members of Erie's professional artists' group, the Northwest Pennsylvania Artists Association (NPAA).”
