Bottlebrush Gallery & Center for the Arts

If you like Ghost Hunters, Dead Files or Investigation Discovery,  join us for a thrilling night of haunting stories, true crime and paranormal stories shared by the Psychic Vincent Sisters proving that real life is a lot scarier and darker than fiction.

Psychic Sisters Jean Vincent & Suzanne Vincent will talk about their work as paranormal investigators, Psychic Profilers and Ghost Hunters and the cases that brought them national attention for their unique psychic abilities on A&E, Dateline, Travel Channel, Investigation Discovery, SyFy and Japanese TV.

The Psychic Vincent Sisters will talk about haunted places including The Bottlebrush Gallery, The Harmony Inn, The Old Mill, Hill View Manor, Buhl House, the University of Pittsburgh Cathedral of Learning, Chatham University, Riverside Inn and other ghost stories, crimes and murders. They will be discussing some of their high profile cases working with law enforcement including the murder of John Yelenic (the Blairsville Dentist) and the Caylee Anthony murder. And, is there an infamous serial killer in Pittsburgh? Remember Paul Kochu, the missing Allegheny hospital nurse?

The Psychic Vincent Sisters will also talk about current headlining cases including the Idaho College Murders, Madeleine McCann, The Smiley Face serial killer and other missing and homicide cases. Following their presentation, they will  have a Q&A Session and a demonstration of mediumship, and a few RANDOM audience members will get a psychic gallery reading.

The proceeds from this event will benefit the Harmony Business Association. Tickets $40 each and will include Crime Stories, Ghost Stories, Haunted Legends, Q&A, Gallery Reading (not all participants will receive a reading).

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.

February is the month of love! Learn the techniques, tips and tricks of acrylic paint pouring just in time to make a beautiful painting for Valentine’s Day. You’ve probably seen those cool, swirly and colorful paintings online, and they’re not hard to make. Once you get the techniques down, you won’t want to stop.

Most materials are provided however, I ask that you bring three bottles of liquid acrylic paint (any brand except Apple Barrel) that you like or match your decor. Materials provided include: canvas, pouring medium/Floetrol, serum, gloves, canvas, white and black paint, pouring cups, stirrers, and paper towels. Very messy project so dress accordingly! Please note you will need to let your painting cure at the Gallery at least overnight. You can come back to the Gallery and pick it up during business hours Sunday or make an afternoon-evening appointment during the week.

All experience levels and ages welcome!

The Art of Travel: Photography from Around the World. Stuart Chandler, Valencia, PA. Saturday, October 8, 2022, 3pm-5pm. Refreshments served.

Stu Chandler uses photography for more than capturing just a pretty picture. He creates images with a sense of place, interest, moment, drama, and beauty. In his  words, “I embrace the freedom to shape an image to realize the full potential of a scene, with no apologies.”

About the Artist:

Photographer, educator, engineer, and traveler Stu Chandler has carried a camera for over 50 years, mostly during his career as an electrical engineer. Until recently, he developed training centers and conferences throughout North and South America. Recently retired, he has turned his attention to photography fulltime.

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
