The Traditional Artists Show started in 2010 and is still going strong today.
Over the last 14 years the Show has raised over $100,000 for local non-profits such as The Bucks County SPCA and The Conservatory, according to a press release through the art show. These past few years the Show’s beneficiary has been Aark Wildlife and Rehabilitation Center, an organization in Chalfont, Pa., which has saved thousands of wild animals since its inception in 1979. It currently treats more than 4,000 injured and orphaned animals each year. Aark also sponsors an education center and summer camp programs for local kids.
Each year, invited artists are excited and pleased to exhibit their newest works to help raise funds and awareness for Aark. They are some of the area’s most popular, talented and award-winning artists, such as Sandy Askey Adams, Robert Barrett, Jeff Charlesworth, Tracy Everly, Jim Lukens, Jo-Ann Osnoe, Cindy Roesinger, Jas Szygiel, Emily Thompson, George Thompson, and Helena van Emmerik-Finn.
The Traditional Artists Show takes place in The Barn at Southern Pines at Cornerstone Farm, a beautiful property located at 5361 Curly Hill Road in Pipersville, Pa. This year’s show is set for Saturday, Oct. 19 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, October 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission and on-site parking are always free. There will also be a raffle and well over 300 original works of art available for sale where a portion of the proceeds goes directly to Aark.
With continued support from our generous sponsors, the Traditional Artists Show is proud to benefit Aark and the important work that they do. Money raised from this wonderful display of local talent has helped purchase medical supplies for hurt or sick animals, as well as milk formulas for orphaned babies. Show proceeds have also contributed to the purchase of a van and helped Aark build new enclosures for temporary animal housing.
“Aark is very proud to be part of this art community and extremely grateful for the generosity of the Traditional Artists Show and their sponsors,” said Leah Stallings, executive director of Aark. This combination of attending artists and tremendous community support creates an atmosphere of good will that benefits our entire community.
