Curated by Morgan Hobbs

Exhibition Dates: September 4 – November 14, 2025

Reception: Thursday September 11, 2025 from 5:30 - 7 p.m. Gallery Talk at 6 p.m.

Exhibition Description: The autumn equinox is a moment of balance between light and darkness – day and night – before a descent into longer darkness as light fades for the winter. The changing season highlights movement of bodies –both earthly and celestial– in relationship to one another. Featuring moments of symmetry, communal rituals, aetiological myths and chronicles of time and location, Equinox observes nature’s cycles and weaves connective threads between all things.

Exhibition Dates: March 17 – May 2, 2026

Exhibition Description: Founded in 1945 on a farm called “Echo Valley” near Neffsville, Pennsylvania, the Echo Valley Art Group began as a gathering of artists. Today, it remains a close-knit collective of 25 professional artists dedicated to building community through art and conversation.

From Lancaster’s local galleries to national institutions such as the Met and the Smithsonian, Echo Valley Art Group members’ work is widely recognized and collected. While meetings now take place in homes and studios rather than a barn, the group’s commitment to in-person connection, artmaking, and giving back to the community remains at its core.
