ABOUT THE EVENT
Camphill Village Kimberton Hills is pleased to be exhibiting the art of its residents at The Henry Gallery at Penn State Great Valley. This unique show will feature artwork in different mediums. The exhibit runs from June 8 to August 3, with an opening reception on Wednesday, July 13 from 6-8 p.m.
The mosaics, paintings, ceramics and fiber arts in this show are made in the various creative workshops and homes at Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, an intentional community including adults with developmental disabilities, located in Kimberton, Pa.
For some residents crafts are seen as a vocation, while others simply create art in their spare time. Some of the pieces are a collaborative effort, for example, between the mosaic studio and the pottery studio, where a craftsperson needs to use multiple skills in order to complete one mosaic. Many of the materials used are recycled.
The creative arts are an avenue for self-expression and for building self-esteem. Camphill Kimberton hopes this show encourages others to take up pencil, paper, paintbrush, clay, fibers, tiles, or other media in a meaningful way to imagine and create a more peaceful world.
