About the Exhibition ...
The Echo Valley Art Group, established in 1945, is an organization limited to 25 professional artists of a broad range of ages and styles, working and creating in the Lancaster County area. Membership is by invitation, with artist selection based on their exhibition history, career development, participation in the arts community, and what they add to the group. EVAG meets monthly to discuss their work and current art events, and to organize their annual exhibit of new work, and other exhibits. They hold an annual auction of original art, with the intent of sharing their artwork with their community and collectors and raising funds to support the arts in Lancaster.
About the Artists ...
The current members of the Echo Valley Art Group are Abby Rudisill, Ann DeLaurentis, Becky Blosser, Brant Schuller, Carol Morgan, Carol Toner Shane, Claire Giblin, Daniel Burns, Debbie Sigel, Ellen Slupe, Jeff Geib, Jeremy Waak, Jim Gallagher, K.K. DePaul, Lou Schellenberg, Mariko Swisher, Marlin Bert, Matt Allyn Chapman, Milton D. Friedly, Peg Richards, Richard (Dick) Ressel, Richard Whitson, Rob Evans, Scott Cantrell, Susan Gottlieb, and emeritus members Ronald Sykes, Kenneth Kirsten, Carol Galligan, Kenneth Hoak, and Joann Hensel. Art brings people together and bridges generations. We want our exhibits and art installations to contribute to this togetherness – we see them as a way to give back to society and an expression of the individuality that each one of us brings to the world.
