AN ARTSY AUGUST

Hi Everyone!

Happy August. It’s my birthday month as well as the 19th Anniversary of me quitting my “day job” to pursue working for myself. I’m taking the weekend off to celebrate my birthday but then next week gets busy again with lots of art happenings. I have a group show at Inliquid in Philadelphia, I’m traveling to Mount Gretna Outdoor Art Show for the third time, and then I’ll have a pop-up at Exhibit B Gallery in Souderton, PA. Details below:

August 15-16. 2026

Mount Gretna Outdoor Art Show,

101 Chautauqua Drive, Mount Gretna, PA

My booth is #42. View Map Here.

RSVP to the Facebook Event Page.

The Mount Gretna Outdoor Art Show is almost here! Rated as a "200 Best" show in nation, the Aug. 15-16 event features artists from across the country, juried independent films and the chance to explore a Chautauqua community founded in 1892.

I won a judges choice award here last year, so I'm pleased to be returning with new art for you to see (and purchase).

August 21-22, 2026

Pop-Up Art Show at Exhibit B Gallery,

105 North Main Street, Souderton, PA

Hours: Friday 5-9 PM, Saturday 11-4 PM.

RSVP to the Facebook Event Page.

Join us for our August pop-up as we feature 6 fantastic guest artists — and every one of them will be there in person. Meet the makers, hear their stories, and see the work up close (8/21 5-9 and 8/22 11-4)

The show features sculptural portraits of curious creatures, contemporary landscapes, endearing clay animals, beaded vessels, charming watercolors, illustrative animals, fun manga, three jewelry designers, pottery, handmade notecards, and blown glass.

Whether you're a longtime art lover or just looking for a great night out, there's something here that will stop you in your tracks. Original art makes an unforgettable gift — for someone else, or yourself. Souderton's 3rd Friday event will also be happening right outside our door with live music, food trucks, beer, wine, local vendors, and a kid's zone.

NOTE FROM LYNNETTE: I will NOT be at the pop-up during the Friday hours in-person as it’s my dad’s 80th birthday (though Harry at Exhibit B will be handling my sales), but I will be there during Saturday hours.
