The Lure of the Artists' Colony March 7 2015 - May 31 2015 Our Year of American Art begins with a comprehensive look at more than 100 works by American Impressionists from the 1880s through the 1940s, including John Singer Sargent, Mary Cassatt, William Merritt Chase, Childe Hassam, John Twachtman, and many others.
Arranged according to the artists’ colonies that played a critical role in the development of American Impressionism around the turn of the century, this exhibition examines artistic communities at Cos Cob and Old Lyme in Connecticut; Cape Cod, Cape Anne, and Rockport, in Massachusetts; New Hope and Philadelphia in Pennsylvania; Taos, New Mexico; and throughout California. Within each of these colonies, artists were able to teach, collaborate and escape the daily rigors of their city studios. The exhibition has been organized by the Reading Public Museum, Reading, PA.

Finding Those Reclaimed Materials by Daric Gill As a person who works with reclaimed materials, I get asked where I find my materials a lot.
In fact, I was asked this twice today. Here’s how this question usually goes: “I’ve got this project I was thinking about making…. This is a very flattering question and I’m more than happy to share in the reclaimed materials movement. First thing’s first. Location — What can your location provide naturally? Skills & Space — Do you have the tools, space, and knowhow to take something from raw to refined? Raw Finds Vs. That’s the baseline.
