5^th Annual High School Student Art Exhibit at Penn State Wilkes-Barre

Local High School Art Students are exhibiting their artwork for the 5th Annual High School Art Exhibit in the Friedman Art Gallery on the campus of Penn State Wilkes-Barre in Lehman Pa. Exhibit Dates: December 7, 2023, through January 31, 2024.

During the program, we will introduce the musicians and artists in attendance. This event is open to other local high school artists, family, friends, PSU Campus Staff, Faculty, and Students. After the program, light snacks & drinks will be provided by Metz Catering and sponsored by Arts at Hayfield.

Friedman Art Gallery Exhibits:  Open Mondays through Fridays except during holiday breaks - 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Thursday, January 11, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. in the Hayfield House on the campus of Penn State Wilkes-Barre. NEPACMS is thrilled to present its most ambitious program yet, pairing the sublime Brahms Second Sextet, a masterpiece exuding elegance and rich lyricism, with Tchaikovsky’s Souvenir de Florence, a bright and vigorous composition for string sextet, reminiscent of his renowned ballets. Over several years, Tchaikovsky painstakingly sketched, worked on, and reworked Souvenir de Florence, and expressed that composing for a string sextet is “terribly difficult…it seems that rather than writing for six voices, I am, in essence, composing for the orchestra, and only then arranging it for six string instruments.” Indeed, these magnificent string sextets will fill the venue with resonances like an orchestra!

Arts at Hayfield Mission:

Since its founding in 1984, Arts at Hayfield members have pursued a mission of promoting the arts for all members of the community to experience and enjoy.

Arts at Hayfield provides opportunities for local performers, musicians, crafters, artists, and artisans, and continues to form networks of individuals who are interested in helping to promote the arts.

With the success of two annual craft shows, Arts at Hayfield is able to regularly donate to public media resources and arts organizations such as WVIA, FM Kirby Center, NEPA Chamber Music Society, Back Mountain Memorial Library, and the Penn State Wilkes-Barre Friedman Art Gallery.  They also award annual academic scholarships to local Penn State Wilkes-Barre students who express interest in the arts.

Join the quest, become a member of Arts at Hayfield, and help to continue the mission of support for all types of arts! Arts at Hayfield Membership
