Fresh Face: Lost Tavern Brewing H O N O R T H E PA S T, craft the future. It’s not just a slogan for Lost Tavern Brewing. It’s a true philosophy, lived every day at the Main Street Hellertown craft brewery and taproom. It all began with a shared vision that childhood friends Rob Grim (President) and Tony Gangi (Head of Operations & Brew Master) had to turn their love of homebrewing into a business. It wasn’t until 2015 when Rob and Tony partnered with Ken (CEO) and Kenny Rampolla (VP of Sales & Marketing) to help make the dream of opening a brewery & taproom a reality. Their beautiful and bustling Hellertown space sits under RMI’s office, which is Ken’s steel marketing company that he’s been leading for over 30 years after his time at Bethlehem Steel. Kenny works both upstairs [at the steel company] and downstairs at LTB, but he's also behind the scenes managing the

brewery’s growing social media channels. With the brewery’s consistently increasing fanbase, this Lehigh Valley-born-andbuilt business is looking to what’s next. What’s next is the contemporary and modern Bethlehem Lost Tavern taproom, now open in the newly renovated Moravian Book Shop in a shared space with Dave’s Deli & Gelato. “We’re blessed to have a very eclectic group of customers and patrons,” says Rob. “Really great, genuine people.” Those patrons have come to expect a certain experience at the taproom in Hellertown, and it’s a priority for Lost Tavern to give the Bethlehem location that same feeling—welcoming and unpretentious, and of course, excellent craft beer. “The staff knows beer and they’re happy you’re here,” says Ken. “It is the bedrock of the Bethlehem taproom experience as well.” And it's thanks to

the same staff and crew, who’ve helped in creating the Hellertown culture, that they can now share it across locations. “I like watching the three of these guys grow,” says Ken, who has been (literally) watching them grow up—he’s Kenny’s father, and his daughter Liz is friends with both Rob and Tony from their days at Saucon Valley High School. Now they’re all in business together, “helping put Hellertown on the map” and bringing that same energy to Downtown Bethlehem. They are proud members of the Lehigh Valley Brewer’s Guild and an active part of the vibrant local craft brew community. They’re thankful for their success, and for the whole team—including nearly two dozen staff and incredibly loyal customers. “It’s an added blessing,” says Rob, “to work with people who feel like family.”

A CHEF’S

(Guests request Chef Steve’s butternut squash ravioli every year, made with his garden-grown squash—and fall ‘tis the season! Stop in and see what the fuss is all about! )

T W I S T E D O L I V E OW N E R S Steve and Sherri Kershner believe that hand-crafted food starts with hand-crafted ingredients: for the past six years, Chef Steve has been bringing the organic bounty from their very own garden right to your plate. You’ll find the fruits (and vegetables!) of their labor on Twisted Olive’s creative menu— from figs and butternut squash to the freshest herbs and off-thevine tomatoes, and so much more—lovingly planted, grown, and harvested by the duo. It doesn’t get fresher than that.

She also teaches private, semi-private, and group art sessions in her studio, in the hopes of passing on her love of creating to others. “Creating takes on numerous shapes and directions,” Nancy says, “both tangible and within thought.

Fresh Face: Coal Lounge & Grill T H E M O M E N T YO U step inside Coal Lounge & Grill, you know it's a special place. “Coming to Coal,” says chef Kofi Armah, as he chops fresh ginger for the evening rush, “is like coming to my house.” There’s an indoor garden, a cozy and inviting lounge for friends to hang. Group seating is made from repurposed pallets, upholstered in richly colored fabrics. There’s music: a direct-from-Ghana vibe of classic and contemporary beats. And then there’s the food: Ghanaian street food, created just for you by the chef. “Everything here is custom made,” says Kofi. “We’re not telling you, hey, this is authentic, you have to eat it like that—we’re presenting it to you and letting you pick what you’ll fall in love with from the cuisine.”

Born in New Jersey, raised in Ghana by his uncle (“I was raised by a bachelor, I just had to do the cooking”), Kofi attended Moravian College for two years, then transferred to and graduated from Montclair State University in 2016. All along, Kofi dreamed of opening his own restaurant. Only he didn’t expect it to happen so soon. He planned to continue his education to become a surgeon, but in 2018, he made a choice. He could always go back to school— but he couldn’t always have the first Ghanaian restaurant in the Lehigh Valley. He’s passionate about food, about sharing fantastic flavors and experiences with customers, and he’s grateful for the people who brought Coal to life, starting 81 WEST BROAD STREET

with his business partner and Coal’s general manager Jomana Hanna. From The Hotel Bethlehem, where, Kofi says, “I learned everything I know about the restaurant industry,” to his sous chef and servers to the city of Bethlehem, to architects Phillips & Donovan, to the family and friends who helped create the space, Coal is built on community. Kofi hopes the restaurant spreads awareness of the cuisine of West Africa, and for Coal to be a place where friends and family gather to enjoy his simple but intensely flavorful fusion street food. “Even for Africans,” he says, “it’s something different. We put a little twist—and there are other people like us, looking to taste something special.” 484.456.1192

Authentic: Kate Racculia K AT E R A C C U L I A has been a writer since her childhood in Syracuse, New York: before she could put pen to paper, she dictated stories to her parents. At twelve years old, she wrote what she laughingly describes as “a complete rip-off of The Westing Game” in three collegeruled Mead notebooks, later partially transcribed into her school’s Apple IIe. It was excellent practice: this fall, she’ll be celebrating the publication of her third novel, Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts.

an adult. As Kate puts it, “I wanted to write a lady Indiana Jones book” that also tackled what she learned about “money and wealth” in eight years of working in financial services and fundraising. The result is a gothic-infused narrative full of wit, energy, and quite a few tell-tale hearts.

Kate’s first two novels, This Must Be the Place and Bellweather Rhapsody, are set in upstate New York. Tuesday Mooney is her first Boston book, and she could only write it once she left: “living in Bethlehem gave me time to write a Tuesday Mooney, published by Houghton more complicated, complex, demanding Mifflin Harcourt, is a pun-filled adventure story, a love letter to the city of Boston book.” Bethlehem has proven to be an ideal home for this novelist: she praises (where Kate lived for eleven years), and an exploration of the complexities of becoming the “wonderfully supportive local arts

For Kate, having conversations with her readers is one of the joys of writing: “that is a gift: to be read by people.” She’ll have that opportunity over the next few months, when her book tour will include stops at the Easton Book Festival (Oct. 25-27); Bethlehem Area Public Library (sponsored by Emmaus bookstore Let’s Play Books, Oct. 30); and Lehigh University (Mar. 3). After that, she hopes to “keep writing, keep learning things, and keep finding ways to serve and be a part of my community.” To learn more about Kate, visit kateracculia.com

It was a traumatic event, and Touchstone, to help the community work its way through it, created and assembled several works of art and cultural projects into a festival called Steel Festival: The Art of an Industry. Now, as October 2019

approaches and the 20th anniversary since that extraordinary event, we face a challenge of a different and perhaps more daunting nature. Who are we, now that the Steel is gone? What are the challenges ahead, and what are the values that will hold the community together as we face the task of shaping our future?

Out of conversations and questions with the community, themes and stories have emerged. Visions of the future are being forged onstage and in dance studios, on college campuses and in public parks, on canvases and in coloring books, between young and old, across racial divides, across the gender spectrum, through Lehigh Valley citizens from all walks of life.

Fresh Face: Shady Grounds Coffee W H E N M I K E A N D J U L I A O T T I N G E R first began experimenting with coffee roasting, it was play, literally— “We were playing around with a Whirley Pop” stovetop popcorn popper, says Julia. The more they explored home roasting, learning about flavor profiles and sourcing beans, researching machinery and equipment, the more they realized this could be their path to entrepreneurship. Shady Grounds Coffee, named for their beloved pet Rottweiler Shady, was born. Now the couple roasts coffee out of their Bethlehem home, in a commercially converted in-law suite kitchen, after they come home from their full-time jobs. They roast on Monday and Tuesday nights, which means you’ll get the freshest cup possible at the Saucon Valley and Nazareth Farmers’ Markets, where Shady Grounds is a vendor. Beans are also available by mail, and through a monthly Coffee Club subscription service that delivers fresh, locally roasted coffee direct to your door. For Julia, who went to school for hotel and restaurant management, her favorite part of the business is developing relationships with people. “It amazes me,” she says, “how many people come back for that cup of coffee every week. Working at the market never feels like work.” Mike, in supply chain management and operations, is more hands on. “I like the roasting,” he says. “I like talking about the coffee, I like the process.” The couples’ complementary skill sets and interests are essential for success, and for any young business to grow and thrive; the plan, one day, is to focus on coffee roasting full time. For now, they’re thankful for the support they’ve received from family and friends, customers, and other roasters in the growing local coffee scene, and taking it one cup at a time. “I hope,” says Mike, “when someone drinks our coffee they feel like it’s an experience.” But ultimately, “we want it to be more than just coffee. We want to make a connection with our community and our customers.”

BANANA FACTORY STUDIO, 25 WEST 3RD STREET

Judy Reinford PHOTOGRAPHER Though she boasts over 30 years of experience, “I’m a kid at heart,” says photographer Judy Reinford. Take one look at her work and you’ll understand: sweet, sleeping newborns swaddled and adorned with flowers. A custom-made fantasy scene of beanstalk-climbing children. Portraits that incorporate a sense of whimsy. An image that brings you eye-to-eye with a giraffe. In her ever-evolving catalogue of work, it’s the animals that have caught her latest fancy. “When I make eye contact with these various creatures,” Judy says, “my heart is happy.” And she uses this gift to make others happy, as well. Recent donations of her giraffe images raised several thousand dollars for special barns for the longnecked creatures. She also sits on the Lehigh Valley Zoo Gala committee and is on the board of For the Love of Alex, Inc., a nonprofit providing funding for low-income families in need of urgent veterinary care. “I have my favorite animals but continue to spend time with creatures I have ignored,” Judy says, “to learn and grow as an artist but also as a person.”

Judy’s work blends photography with digital painting, making creative options for her custom images virtually limitless.

Danny believes that glass art is captivating not only for its fluid beauty, but for its expressive possibilities to describe the relationship between the thermal dynamics of gravity, and the curious forces of our creative energies. Much of his love and passion for glass grows from the processes involved in its creation alone. An inexplicable relationship between artist and medium is achieved every time Danny composes a new piece of glass.

WILLIAM KELSEY Many of William’s artistic tables and desks are reclaimed— from old farm equipment, old fashioned machinery, printing presses, and more. He dismantles the old machinery, saving every bit, and uses those components to create his works of art. Some of William’s favorite projects are commissions in which he makes furniture out of precious family heirlooms, to be celebrated by future generations.

Mind. Body. Heart. Spirit. AT 4 D I R E C T I O N S Counseling LLC, everything (and everyone) works together in service of the bigger picture—and the whole person. A group practice founded by Dr. Alex Milspaw in May 2017, 4Directions’ unique approach to treating mental health, pain, and trauma is integrative and interdisciplinary. Grounded in the 4-D Wheel therapeutic approach—encompassing a person’s mind, body, heart, and spirit—4Directions offers a diversity of services as well as diverse service providers. “There’s great synergy and energy between us all,” says Dr. Milspaw. “And that allows us to craft a personalized approach to every person’s needs.”

4Directions’ dedicated team includes both male and female-identifying counselors who specialize in LGBTQIA, child, and adolescent populations; couples and families, including integrated families; and for those working through addiction, trauma, sexual health issues, and chronic and pelvic pain. They take pride in their “sex positivity and inclusivity, especially for clients with alternative sexualities or relationships,” says Sara Edwards, M.Ed. M.Ed. Their therapeutic programs are never strictly talk therapy, but an experiential and holistic model that draws from a number of methods, all working in concert to speed the healing process—from neurolinguistic

programming to mindfulness meditation and hypnotherapy. Educating clients and other wellness providers is a cornerstone of their philosophy as well; Charlie Curtis, BCH, MNLP, offers training courses in hypnotherapy year-round to the general public. “The big plan,” says Dr. Milspaw, “is to one day open a retreat center”—a healing space that can offer yoga, a central location for workshops, and a direct connection to nature. “We pride ourselves,” she says, “on being able to address trauma in ways that most people do not”—together, using personalized programs and tools that honor the uniqueness of every person.

Michael Hess / ARTIST

Dana Hess /

Dana and Michael are one of only two married couples to have their work selected for the ArtPop Eastern Pennsylvania Artist Billboard Competition since its inception.

Figurative artist Michael Hess can disappear into the process. “I tend to lose my surroundings while working,” he says. The better to create a piece that captures the qualities of the unseen—an emotion, an incomplete memory, or a fragmented thought—and give his portraits their auras of vivid, dynamic life. Michael’s primary subject matter is the face and human form at large. “For me they embody the essence of beauty,” he says, “which is the underlying theme of my art as a whole.” Working in oils and oil-based mixed media, he’s been an artist all his life, but he’s not the kind to wait for inspiration. “For me,” he says, “it’s a matter of getting into the studio, picking up a brush, and making it happen.”

GREEN BANANA MOSAIC CO. A dance of light and dazzling color, timeless yet modern and completely unique: what’s magical about the art of stained glass is even more so in the hands of mosaic artist Dana Hess, owner of The Green Banana Mosaic Company. Inspired by a simple mosaic coaster kit that had been sitting in her closet for years until it ignited a creative spark—“you’ve got to start somewhere!”—her designs have been sold all over the world through her online shop. Now her work hangs beneath the blue skies of the Lehigh Valley as a winner of the 2019 ArtPop Eastern Pennsylvania Artist Billboard Competition. “I have always loved stained glass,” she says: the rich colors, the different hues and sparkle. “There’s a bit of magic there, just waiting to happen.”

says Rabbit, “to make everyone look and feel unique!” Using their active social media platforms to educate and inspire, The Warren’s Instagram account pops with cuttingedge (pun intended!) styles and vibrant colors, that speak not just to customers but also to other stylists and barbers. “We never stop learning,” Rabbit says. “That’s the beauty of this industry—there are always ways to keep it fresh.”

Crochet Coral Reef BY MARGARET AND CHRISTINE WERTHEIM AND THE INSTITUTE FOR FIGURING

September 12 –December 7, 2019

ABOUT THE INSTITUTE FOR FIGURING

The Institute For Figuring is a nonprofit, Los Angeles-based organization dedicated to the poetic and aesthetic dimensions of science and mathematics. The IFF specializes in creating participatory projects in which communities build large-scale artworks inspired by discoveries and techniques stemming from scientific and mathematical research.

420 EAST PACKER AVENUE 610.758.3615 LUAG.ORG

LEHIGH UNIVERSITY ART GALLERIES LUAG MAIN GALLERY, ZOELLNER ARTS CENTER

Gallery Hours: Tuesday 11 AM - 7 PM, Wednesday - Saturday 11 AM - 5 PM BORN ON THE coffee table of Australian twin sisters Christine and Margaret Wertheim, the Crochet Coral Reef has grown to become one of the largest community art projects in the world. A unique nexus of art, science, geometry, and environmental activism, the Reef is an ever-evolving archipelago of woolen installations emulating the naturally occurring hyperbolic structures of coral reefs through the process of crochet. Crochet Coral Reef resides at the intersection of mathematics, marine biology, handicraft, and community art practice. Through a process of collective creativity, the project responds to the environmental crisis of global warming and the escalating problem of oceanic plastic trash by highlighting not only the damage humans do to the earthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ecology, but also our power for positive action. The project has engaged a worldwide community of makers, spawning satellite reefs in Chicago, New York, London, Melbourne, Abu Dhabi, Cape Town, and other locations, and has been exhibited in art and science museums worldwide, including the Andy Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh), the Hayward Gallery (London), the Science Gallery (Dublin), and the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History (Washington, DC). Visitors to the exhibition will have the opportunity to experiment with hands-on hyperbolic construction, and to contribute to the Lehigh University Satellite Reef!

ARTIST TALK AND OPENING RECEPTION September 12, 2019 - 5-7:30 pm BAKER HALL, ZOELLNER ARTS CENTER FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC Hear artist Margaret Wertheim discuss Crochet Coral Reef, then join for a reception for all of the LUAG fall exhibitions in the Main Gallery.

by Lauren Kuhn Bethlehem Steel is such a significant part of our town’s history and our future, Lauren thought painting the iconic Bethlehem Steel and Blast Furnaces would be a perfect way to represent both. The mural will be installed at the Tally Ho Tavern to emulate a window of the building. After graduating from Villanova University, Lauren worked in education and graphic design before becoming a full-time fine artist in 2013. She is a resident artist at The Banana Factory and serves as the vice president of the Emmaus Arts Commission.

The symbolic reference to fighting for your dreams combined with the pop culture inspiration looks to inspire its viewer.

Drawing inspiration from graffiti artists as much as from the Baroque and Art Nouveau movements, Chris’ paintings and wearable art straddle the line between pop and traditional, fantasy and reality.

GIVING BACK Making a difference in the lives of others.

Giving Back: Feed the Children’s Teacher Store N O T H I N G H E R A L D S the start of fall like school supplies: unsharpened pencils. Tidy binders. Fresh notebooks, ready to be written in. But not every kid has access to the materials required to make the school year a success. National nonprofit Feed the Children firmly believes that education is one of the best ways to help children escape the cycle of poverty. Dedicated to reducing barriers for at-risk children and increasing access to educational resources, and recognizing that “teachers are spending more and more out of pocket every day to cover the cost of supplies,” they founded the Teacher Store—a place where teachers can shop for necessities for their classrooms—for free.

Bethlehem’s Teacher Store is one of five in the nation. Store Supervisor Beth Baier oversees stock, and works closely with her team of volunteers—“I get to meet so many people from different walks of life,” she says, “and watch them come together to help a great cause and make the world a little better.” She also liaises with participating school districts, and hopes that even more districts register for the program; “we would love nothing more than to help as many area teachers and students as we can.” In addition to traditional school supplies, the Teacher Store strives to support all a child’s needs. “We try our best,” says Beth, “to stock our shelves with classroom

staples but we also have personal hygiene items, and sometimes food that teachers can take for children who may need it.” The Teacher Store is here to lift children and teachers together. “We want to work alongside educators to help fill the gap, and provide students with the materials needed for success in the classroom,” Beth says. Her hope is to keep changing lives, providing “the pencils, binders, and books that help these kids get through school and graduate. Sometimes it’s the small things that make a difference and impact a child’s life.” For more information, visit: feedthechildren.org/resources/ teacher-store or call 610.419.9356.

Easton has a Secret

This town known for its creative flair is home to an arts center that needs to be on your radar

Wynton Marsalis

WE’VE GOT THE SCOOP on one of the Lehigh Valley’s great cultural attractions: The Williams Center for the Arts is a jewel of a performing and visual arts center perched atop Easton’s College Hill, at the entrance of Lafayette College, where it stands as a welcoming sentinel for the region’s adventurous arts lovers.

The Williams Center’s art gallery is known for its lively series of thoughtprovoking exhibitions and related programming exploring a wide range of ideas, cultures, and time periods. The theater is acoustically sublime

and its intimate size means every seat is the best seat for enjoying performances by world-renowned classical and jazz musicians, cuttingedge dance companies, acclaimed theater artists, and performers from every corner of the globe. “The same artists you’ll find at Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Brooklyn Academy of Music, right here in your backyard,” says Hollis Ashby, executive director of the performance series. Longtime fans consider this venue the Valley’s best kept secret; the 19/20 season is the perfect time to discover the Williams Center for yourself.

WILLIAMS CENTER FOR THE ARTS

2 019 / 20 SE ASON

Come see for yourself! Jazz Pulitzer Prize-winning trumpeter Wynton Marsalis and the formidable Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra bring their exceptional talent to the 19/20 Williams Center jazz series on Nov. 3, but first the season opens on Sept. 13 with the exhilarating young vocalist Jazzmeia Horn, winner of the 2015 Thelonious Monk Competition. The reigning monarch of the Hammond B-3 organ, Joey DeFrancesco, comes to town Mar. 7, followed on Mar. 28 by the Grammy Award-winning Pablo Ziegler Jazz Tango Trio.

Chamber Music The Sphinx Virtuosi, 18 of the nation’s top Black and Latinx classical soloists, make their Williams Center debut Oct. 18, and the venerable Orpheus Chamber Orchestra returns with Ukranian-born Israeli violinist Vadim Gluzman as soloist on Feb. 1. On Feb. 26, the legendary Takács Quartet celebrates the 250th anniversary of Beethoven’s birth with work from each of the composer’s periods; and on Mar. 26, the Switzerland-based early music ensemble La Morra makes its only U.S. visit with music of the Italian High Renaissance.

World Stage The 19/20 season brings Ballet Hispánico with an all-Latina choreographers program on Oct. 25; the uncommonly beautiful sound of Zimbabwe’s a cappella quintet Nobuntu on Nov. 19; and the not-so-serious stylings of the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, with their witty transmogrifications of classical,

rock, pop, and film themes on Apr. 2. It all starts with a special treat on Sept. 19: Japan’s Reigakusha ensemble, purveyor of the ancient Imperial Court music gagaku, makes a rare U.S. appearance—and makes Easton its only stateside stop outside New York.

Dance and Theater Wendy Whelan, “America’s greatest contemporary ballerina” (The New York Times), and cellist Maya Beiser perform an original work by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer David Lang and dance legend Lucinda Childs on Nov. 6; and Philly’s groundbreaking Koresh Dance Company arrives Feb. 12. From the ridiculous to the sublime, theater offers a riotous night of Elizabethan tomfoolery with The Improvised Shakespeare Company on Sept. 25 and the mesmerizing, lo-fi stage alchemy of Manual Cinema in No Blue Memories: The Life of Gwendolyn Brooks on Feb. 22.

Don’t Miss the Art Gallery! This fall the Williams Center Gallery presents 19th century Japanese woodblock prints by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi and a full slate of related programming from film screenings to artmaking workshops. Jim Sanborn’s Looted? (spring 2020) includes exquisite 21st century high-end reproductions of Khmer artifacts. Indistinguishable from the centuries-old originals, Sanborn asks whether “contemporary antiquities” can fulfill the desire of collectors and thereby stop looting of heritage sites. All exhibitions and activities are free and open to the public.

F R E S H FA C E Welcoming new businesses to the Lehigh Valley.

Fresh Face: Your CBD Store S O M E T I M E S A N E W PAT H appears that we never even knew existed. “I had a professional trajectory of what my career was going to look like,” says Sandra Freeman, owner of Your CBD Store in Easton. “And yet, here we are!” An accountant working for a large company in the south, Sandra never thought she would be a small business owner. But when a friend opened her own Your CBD Store, and not only succeeded personally but was bringing relief to others, Sandra started to wonder. When she and her family moved back to the Lehigh Valley— Sandra grew up in Bethlehem, and coming home “always made sense”— could she open a store of her own?

CBD, or cannabidiol, is an oil compound extracted from hemp that does not, like marijuana, contain the psychoactive THC. An anti-inflammatory used in natural, holistic pain relief that works by encouraging systemic balance—rather than targeting only specific receptors in the nervous system—CBD’s popularity is increasing exponentially. Sandra was at first skeptical. But once she started taking it to treat her own IBS, she experienced fewer, less aggressive flare-ups, and genuine relief. “It works,” she says. “I get it. And I’m someone who is very anti-drug; I’ve never done drugs, not even pharmaceuticals.”

Your CBD Store carries a curated variety of SunMed-branded products— CBD oils, gel capsules, tinctures, all produced in Colorado under high controls and standards—to suit your needs and preferences, and Sandra is on hand to educate and advise. Knowing her customers experience relief, and seeing how the products “have influenced other peoples’ lives for the better,” is her favorite part of the work. Now, she hopes “the stigma goes away,” that the medical field sees the value in CBD and that it isn’t just a fad. “CBD,” says Sandra, “has its place in natural wellness.”

URBAN WINES

Made with Love L O C AT E D I N T H E H E A R T of the Theater District in West End of Allentown, Sleepy Cat Urban Winery is owned and operated by Lehigh Valley natives Mark and Carrie Gerencher. Carrie and Mark started out making wine at home—mastering several varieties including fruit wines from hand-picked fruits—and fell in love with the process. They opened Sleepy Cat (named in honor of their four beloved cats Teemu, Dante, Phoenix, and Apollo) in 2016 with a goal of providing a fun vibe and winery experience, urban style. Production and tasting all happens in their Allentown facility, so you get to see the wines made—and taste them—in the same space. 1840 WEST ALLEN STREET, ALLENTOWN 610.351.2500

Café The Lodge AT F I G , we believe in the power of a community that works together to identify needs and find solutions— one that creates connections and is passionate about helping its neighbors. We believe in the mission of Café The Lodge—our 2019 Social Mission Partner. Please consider supporting and surrounding them this year. C A F É T H E L O D G E in South Bethlehem is not only a hardworking nonprofit that employs and empowers up to 18 individuals with mental health diagnoses to practice skills for independent living and competitive employment in the community. It’s not only a place to get delicious, freshly prepared food. It’s also a vibrant art space that features artwork from residents, staff, and

community members, in exhibits that rotate throughout the year. Café The Lodge’s “Artists in Recovery” exhibit began in January 2018, as a way to highlight the role of the arts as an important component of the therapeutic process—it allows nonverbal expression of concepts or emotions that can be hard to vocalize. Accompanying the work are descriptions of how

each artist utilized art as a coping skill or healing therapy in order to live fuller lives with their cognitive or mental health disorders. Visitors have the opportunity to directly support the artists and the café, as each piece is available for purchase: for each painting sold, the artist receives 85 percent of profits and the rest goes to support the programs at Café The Lodge.

Having grown up playing in the dirt and rivers in rural Pennsylvania, working with clay was a natural transition. “For us, our love for clay is something ethereal,” says Stephanie. “The tactile and raw nature of a material which has come directly from the earth connects with a deeper need to be a part of the land.”
