curio. Demo Night: Charcoal
2023-09-12 19:00 - 21:00 | CURIO. GALLERY & CREATIVE SUPPLY, 106 W Chestnut St, Lancaster, PA, 17601, United States
Join curio. from 7:00-9:00pm on Tuesday September 12th as we settle in for an evening of drawing and discussion. Matt will be behind the easel, this time working with charcoal!
A really expressive, and often forgiving medium, charcoal allows you to make really developed drawings in short order thanks to its ability to be pushed around, wiped away, and erased out. Matt will be working from observation as he uses charcoal in both vine and compressed form, multiple eraser styles, and most definitely a chamois cloth.
Open discussion, questions, and other conversation is welcome and most definitely encouraged.
Space is limited to 10 people, pre-registration is required.
Please note curio. is located down a flight of stairs.

Pocket Art Swap #8: On My Mind Opening
2023-09-01 17:00 - 20:00 | CURIO. GALLERY & CREATIVE SUPPLY, 106 W Chestnut St, Lancaster, PA, 17601, United States
The idea for Pocket Art Swap formed in 2019 as a way to connect artists together and celebrate the individuality each of us hold in a unique and meaningful way. Inspired by a pad of Stonehenge Legion paper measuring only 2.5″ x 3.75″, we envisioned an exhibition showcasing collections of artist trading cards that would be swapped among the participating artists after the pop-up show, creating an instant collection of personal artist trading cards. The event has evolved into creating under a loose theme (previous themes have been Night & Day, curiosity, The DEEP and All Things Small) where artists can explore and interpret in any media, style and concept. The works are then displayed in the gallery for one month before the swap packs curated by us and are distributed back to each participating artist.
Due to the nature of the swap, works are not for sale.
Thoughts are always present in the mind. Even when we try to quiet them, they still find a way to get our attention. What will be on the mind of the 16 local artists who are participating in Pocket Art Swap #8? Join us for the opening on September 1st to find out! The exhibition will be on view through September 30th.
