THE ANNUAL HOLIDAY ART SHOW will feature fine art and fine art crafts by area artists. Among the original artworks presented in this show will be paintings, photography, jewelry, scratch-carved eggs, egg jewelry, wood crafts, holiday ornaments, gift baskets and more, with many items suitable for holiday gift-giving.

SACRED SIGHTS* showcases photographs of very old structures dating from 1060 AD to modern times. A church located above the Arctic Circle, with its colorful altar painting in Lapp-style art, stands in vivid contrast to a Norwegian Stave church from the 1100s which is 90% original. There is a baptismal font from the 1300s and a modern font in Iceland that resembles glacial ice. This variety of sacred sights evokes a sense of the “faith of our fathers” as well as our own present-day living faith.

*This exhibition is part of the Lehigh Valley Photography Month, part of the Olympus InVision Photo Festival™ presented by ArtsQuest.
