This year’s Artist in Residence is local artist, Tina Cantelmi, who will be painting and displaying her recent work. We welcome families to take part in our Children’s Art Activities, including interactive art projects and a chance to make a special handmade gift or card celebrating Mother’s Day.

Small Works: Landscape, Portrait, Still Life

Bethlehem Town Hall Rotunda Gallery

10 E. Church Street, Bethlehem

April 5–May 12, 2023

Reception: April 16 2–4 PM

Hours: Mon.–Fri., 8 AM–4:00 PM

Closed Weekends and Holidays

The selection of small works here show the practice of the artist creating across subject matter and methods. The work represents teaching pieces, plein air pieces, and study pieces. Whether the subject matter is landscape, portraits with live models, or still life studies, the theme and subject matter must be interpreted honestly. The struggle is there, but it shouldn’t show.

The exhibition is sponsored by the Bethlehem Fine Arts Commission

The gallery’s first exhibition of the season will feature a wide variety of landscape, still life, and interior paintings, presented in Stier’s own frames, crafted in his workshop.

“Finding a subject is a private, subtle, elusive matter. I often conceive of subjects in the peace and tranquility of twilight. Here, in silence and stillness, and in the space between thoughts, giving careful attention to what I see, I find roots in the present moment, a witness to life and its miraculous beauty.”
