Celebrating 21 Years Of Art ormer Manheim Township supervisor and former Pennsylvania state Rep. Roy Baldwin remembers when Boettcher House Museum in Landis Woods became a township facility in 1996. “We had three objectives for the museum,” recalled Baldwin, who listed preserving natural history, renting the facility, and holding events. In 1999, one of those events, an annual art show, kicked off. “I promoted that because I had good relationships with local artists,” said Baldwin, who mentioned Lisa Madenspacher, Suk Shuglie, and Andy Smith in that group. “They helped plan it all.” Baldwin’s interest in art began when he was attending Cornell University and met his wife-to-be. “I started going to art history classes,” said Baldwin, who later visited art museums worldwide.

year, the 21st annual Landis Woods Outdoor Fine Art Show will be held rain or shine on the Boettcher House Museum grounds, 2369 Lititz Pike, Neffsville, on Saturday, Sept. 25, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. An art walk, which will feature the work of local high school artists, is planned from noon until 3 p.m. on the day of the show. Items that artists and craftspeople will sell at the show include jewelry, mixed-media pieces, abstract art, landscapes, watercolor paintings, ceramics, and pottery. This year, an artist who specializes in body painting will be present to take appointments. The show is billed as a child-friendly and petfriendly event. Madenspacher, who has traditionally participated in the show but is skipping this year, said that her daughter, artist Adrienne Judge, would take part. “She has always had artistic flair,” said Madenspacher, displaying a metallic abstract painting by Judge. “This year … she dove into (her creative side) headfirst, and she is doing great.”
