The Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission presents an invitational exhibition: “Another Point of View: 4 Visually Impaired Artists” that highlights the work of  Mary Ann Dunwoodie, Michael Freeman, Dianne Michels, and Terry Newhard at the Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery from September 30 to November 4, 2024.  The exhibition brings together 4 visually impaired artisans with varying degrees of vision who use their personal creative process as a means of self expression and inspiration. The goal is to bring together members of the sighted community with these talented artisans. While their sight may have darkened and somewhat dimmed, all of these artists have a visionary quest which shows no limits and takes us forward into the light. “This exhibit will allow the community to expand its imagination on the subject and medium of each work of art, much like many exhibits do,” Bethlehem Mayor J. William Reynolds stated, “but it will also expand our imagination on what is possible when we challenge the idea of what ‘disability’ allows us, or does not allow us, to create.” 

There will be an artist reception on Sunday, October 6 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM.  The Rotunda Gallery is located at 10 E. Church Street.  Gallery hours are Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

The exhibition is sponsored by the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission (www.bfac-lv.org) and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.
