Bottlebrush Gallery & Center for the Arts

Collaboration is the way to go with small businesses, and we’re doing just that with Zelienople’s ShuBrew! They have a cool new art wall, and we’re co-sponsoring a monthly art show for you to show off your talent. You can sell your work or just show it. March’s theme is Lucky Charms, and all work is due to the Bottlebrush Gallery in Harmony by 4pm Sunday, 3/3. There’s an opening reception for all artists, friends and the public on Tuesday, 3/5, from 7-9pm at ShuBrew. Stop in to see the new show and have a brewski. We’d love to see you. PS: April’s theme is April Fools.

Looking for a cool gift for your special someone? You’ll find it here, so much to choose from– 85 local and guest artists showing in the Gallery with everything from pottery to oil paintings, sculpture to mixed media, fibers to watercolors… the list goes on. We also have some vintage Valentine’s Day candy boxes. Remember these?

On February 16, our Women’s Creative Circle tried their hands at a mixed media collage using photographs of ancestors and friends. Good work, everyone! Our next WCC meeting is March 16, 6:30pm.

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Artwork by the incomparable Sarah Huth.

This big boy made by Harry Price sold recently, a beautiful raku elephant. His new owner came to last year’s German Christmas Market and returned to buy him all these months later. Just shows that those events we work so hard on in Harmony make a difference in our shops’ bottom lines. Here’s the email I rec’d after picking him up: “Hi MJ, Just wanted to let you know that the elephant arrived safely home. The more I look at him, the more I’m taken with the artistry. Thank you again for letting me know he was available. – C
