The clay ball hit the wheel with a loud thunk. The mound lay in the center of the silver disc, lifeless. She sat down on the stool and pressed her foot to the pedal and the earthy mass began to move. The clean silver disc became a muddy sun as the water spewed away from the clay into the moat below. The most hypnotic aspect was watching how … Continue reading THROWBACK THURSDAY: SouthSide Arts Festival
They strutted their paws down the sidewalk. It was a sea of green and fur. The breeze ruffled the tulle of the tutu on the Pomeranian, tousled the golden locks of the retrievers, and could have blown away the little Chihuahua! It was the 2016 Celtic Doggie Parade at Donegal Square. This year the event benefited The Center for Animal Health and Welfare. There were four … Continue reading 2016 Celtic Doggie Parade

On the bridge stood a gentleman working on … Continue reading Downtown Bethlehem Fine Art and Craft Show
You could hear that familiar sound of a ball clanking against the metal spray paint can. A wooden crate sat on the table with drips of neon dried on the sides. His hand hovered, mulling over the colors, finally pulling a bright orange followed by an electric green. “A beautiful flower, for a beautiful lady,” he said as he started to sweep the color over the glossy paper. After laying … Continue reading Urban Street Art Festival
As you walk down the gravel path lined with trees, there is a clearing of lush green fields and old barns. It’s as if you found a beautiful treasure tucked away in its own seclusion. On this day especially, it felt like traveling back in time. Everyone was dressed in traditional garb and you could smell the sulfur-tainted smoke billowing from the blacksmith’s tent.
