The Hazleton Art League is gearing up for a busy and colorful September.
The League will host the gallery opening of “Alice Laputka: Colors of the West” from 5 to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5. An artist’s talk will follow from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 7. Laputka’s work explores color and form through interpretations of the natural world—art that is inspired by reality but not confined by it. The exhibition will be on view through Sunday, Sept. 28.
Art league officials said this exhibition pairs beautifully with the 10th Annual Peace, Love and Chalk Sidewalk Art Festival, taking place from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 14. Prizes will be awarded in both Youth and Adult categories, generously sponsored by Joe Maddon’s Respect 90 Foundation. Artists are encouraged to register online to participate.
Later in the month, the league will host its major fundraising event, the Third Annual Color the Course Golf Tournament, at 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26, at Valley Country Club in Sugarloaf. With a fundraising goal of $25,000, this event offers opportunities for both sponsorship and player registration.
Looking ahead to October, the League is issuing a call for artists for its group show “Signals Not Lost”, a sci-fi–themed exhibition. In partnership with the Hazleton Area Garden Club, the show will also feature Art in Bloom, with floral arrangements inspired by works in the exhibition.
The Hazleton Art League is located at the Hayden Family Center for the Arts, 31 W. Broad St., Hazleton. For gallery hours or information, call 570-455-3333 or visit hazletonartleague.org.
