Environmental Art Show presents an Artist Talk with Theresa O’Connor on April 15th at 5pm

In conjunction with the opening of the Environmental Art Show please join us for an Artist Talk with Artist and AFA Gallery Director Theresa O’Connor on April 15th at 5pm in the Charles Kratz Scranton Heritage Room. This event is open to the public and light refreshments will be offered.

Theresa has been actively engaged in collaborative projects within the Scranton arts community including The Moth Project and the Saranton exhibition (spearheaded by artist Constance Denchy). She displayed her work in group exhibitions at Adezzo Cafe and at the AFA Gallery. Theresa also established an innovative art and music venue, The Vintage Theater, where she served as the Visual Art Director and Founder. This endeavor allowed her to not only showcase her own work but also provided the opportunity to curate and support the artistic endeavors of others, fostering a vibrant community of creatives.

Theresa will be discussing her work an artist and sharing her experiences with sustainable art practice and the use found objects and alternative materials.

The 2024 Environmental Art Show runs from April 15th to April 24th in the Charles Kratz Scranton Heritage Room and is open to the public during library operational hours.
