The Farmland Preservation Artists of Central Pennsylvania will have their work displayed in both the Allen Gallery and in the Downsbrough Community Room throughout the month of April.
Since its incorporation in 1968 the Central Pennsylvania Art Alliance has grown to support affiliate groups. The Farmland Preservation Artists of Central Pennsylvania formed in 2005 and is a joint enterprise of the Art Alliance and the Centre County Farmland Trust. Their mission is to promote the preservation and appreciation of farmland through the visual arts.
The 20-25 member artists work in a variety of media and focus upon the following goals:
- To portray the beauty of the rural landscape, the local farms and agricultural products they yield
- To highlight farm life, local food markets and economy
- To illustrate the issues facing farmers that affect our communities
- To increase support for farmland preservation through exhibition and sale of art
- To promote the goals of the cosponsoring organizations, the Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania and Centre County Farmland Trust
This art exhibition is made possible in partnership with the Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania, Farmland Preservation Artists of Central Pennsylvania, Centre County Farmland Trust, and Schlow Centre Region Library.
Many of the artworks are available for sale. Please direct purchase inquiries to the Art Alliance of Central Pennsylvania (artalliance05@gmail.com.).
