The community is reminded of the "Art of the Everyday" reception set for 4:30 to 6 p.m. Thursday, in The Gallery at Penn College. Artist Mary Michael Shelley will share remarks at 5:30 p.m. and demonstrate her low-relief wood carving process.
Shelley's exhibit is on display through Nov. 26 in the gallery on the third floor of The Madigan Library. The exhibit and reception are free and open to the public.
Shelley grew up on a farm in Bucks County and resides in Ithaca, New York. Inspired by the everyday world around her, her artwork includes scenes of local diners, bars, shops and farms in upstate New York, as well as family portraits of her family and image metaphors of life lessons.
The Gallery at Penn College’s hours are: 2 to 8 p.m. Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays; Noon to 4 p.m. Fridays; and 1 to 5 p.m. Sundays.
