Poets and artists alike were excited to meet the person who interpreted their work! An evening full of revelation, elation and introspection…
The HOPE Center in the Lock Haven University hosted a Judy Chicago Dinner Party. The Dinner Party, an installation artwork originally produced by Judy Chicago in 1979, featured a long table, topped with illustrated plates representing 39 women of mythical and historical distinction. A re-creation of this exhibit had participants design a plate to recognize and celebrate an influential woman in their lives. Upon completion of the plates, the event culminated in an actual dinner party at the Station Gallery, where participants shared their artwork and the story of the woman they chose to honor.
CCAC Board Member, Jennifer Deitloff co-hosted the event with LHU’s Dain TePoel.
This past Friday night Lock Haven got a kick start to Spring with a special concert brought to the community by the partnership of the Clinton County Arts Council and Schlesinger Communications. BLUE MORNING, the great Foreigner tribute band from Warren, PA rocked the Roxy theater to the delight of an appreciative audience! A portion of the proceeds support the CCAC, but also our scholarship for the arts, the CCAC/Jeff Gummo Scholarship for the Arts.
Our organization will be awarding our first scholarship this year!
Our workshop leader, Jackie Thomas, brought a new skill to fiber enthusiasts this past weekend!
Everyone tried their hand at needle felting, and had a great time catching up with one another…
stay tuned for MORE workshops to come throughout 2023!!!

Artist & Educator, Deb Berkebile joined us again this year for an on site Indigo Shibori and Dye Discharge weekend! We all pulled out the creative energy from one another, producing such inspiring fabrics with every dip and every reveal as we unfolded, unstitched or rinsed out the prepared pieces.
Starting off dining together on Friday night, we really got the process rolling Saturday morning and got the blues out on the line to dry in the PERFECT weather!!! Continuing into Sunday morning, more and more exciting processes were revealed. Learning some new stitching techniques and layering the stunning blue indigo dye over top of the black discharged fabric created some amazing results.
We hope to create fiber projects in the near future with these jewels of creativity! Keep posted on our adventures in fiber. We have an Invitational exhibit coming up SOON!!! Thank you all who participated and the tent crew who helped us pull the day together. NEXT year we hope to get into some different techniques.
Black and Blue for healing the creative heart!
Smiles from the fabric creators!

Sharing the arts makes every day better.
An exciting exhibit of wearables woven, stitched, embellished, fabricated, repurposed, and MORE! A fabulous grouping of creative thoughts from artists invited to share special ideas in art that could be worn, or came from wearables, or are portions of wearable techniques. Jewelry, clothing, cloth, sculpture are woven through the minds and artful products of these artists:
SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) artists including Dorothy Gehring & Meredith Grimsley Camille Orelli and Brian Spies & Madeline Spies display quilted kimono and jacket,Station Gallery instructors from the Fiber Workshop series, Jackie Thomas and Carol Cillo, will show pieces along with some of the participants of those workshops: Carol Byrne, Janet Sherman and Becky Wall, and upcoming workshop instructor, Deb Berkebile.
The Clinton County Arts Council has oered ber workshops over the past couple of years, some of those being conducted via zoom during the pandemic shutdown. We have many dedicated ber enthusiasts, so we are oering a workshop this year in conjunction with this exhibit. You will see quilted works by Ohio artist Deb Berkebile in the exhibit, but she will also be our instructor for an Indigo Itajime Shibori Dyeing workshop to be held on Saturday, October, 9 at the Station Gallery.

It has been a very different and difficult year in 2020. All of us have had to cope with much of our daily routine and relationship with our community in a very different way due to the pandemic. But now it is 2021, and we all need creative inspiration and support more than ever.
The CCAC Station Gallery plans to begin the exhibit year in May, and continue with scheduled opportunities till the end of the year. As we still don’t know when immunizations and normal schedules will be part of our lives, the exhibits will be shown in either a virtual way on our website, or as a physical exhibit in the gallery - depending on the current status of pandemic regulations.
We will have two OPEN CALL opportunities for artists to enter their works, one being the Regional Photo Exhibit and the other our Regional 2D3D exhibit. The Call for Entries rules will be coming soon!
We will also offer several Invitation Artist exhibits to share wonderful works curated into themed shows, some of which also will support workshop experiences. As we have offered some workshops online this past year, we are ready to offer those again if we cannot be in the gallery space together.
We can’t wait to see what you have been creating, and want to fill you with hope for more cultural opportunities to expand your horizons. Please donate, and/or join or renew your membership to make sure the Clinton County Arts Council and Station Gallery continue to bring this community the best of the arts!
Be well, stay safe, be creative!
Carol
CCAC President
We sincerely hope this post finds you all well, staying at home and trying to pursue some of the creative projects you never had time for, new skills you just didn’t try, or beautifying your lawns and grounds as Springtime enters Clinton County. Even though it is hard to cancel and reschedule all the events and planning at our Station Gallery, all of us want you to know that we continue to plan for the future, and look forward to a time when we can share the arts together.
In accordance with the shutdown from Covid-19 precautions, all of our activities have been put on hold. As time permits we are trying to move art exhibits into other spots so that all the wonderful work being created can eventually be seen.
Keep positive!
The Clinton County Arts Council has cancelled all activities through the month of March.
We have also postponed our April exhibit into the May slot, so “The Birds” will still be seen, but a month later.
This action has also postponed the 2D3D juried Exhibit to occur in November along with our Poetry Symposium. This should give artists ample time to prepare a new piece for this show. It is a juried show with monetary awards, and is an OPEN CALL opportunity for artists within 150 miles of the gallery.
We wish you all well. Stay healthy and think smart so we can see you SOON! We have the wonder of the arts to pull us through these times of social distancing and stress.
Keep posted for any additional changes to our schedule.

The show will be up through April 4th. Stop by and see it when you have the chance.
