The Hicks Art Center Gallery at Bucks County Community College has opened the new group art exhibition, “Skull Sessions,” which will be on view from November 20, 2023, through January 6, 2024.
The Gallery is located in the Hicks Art Center building on the campus of Bucks County Community College in Newtown, Pennsylvania.
From realism to narrative installation, the artworks in the “Skull Sessions” exhibition represent a current survey of the range of genres in which artists amongst their art group peers are currently practicing.
The title of the exhibition takes its name from the strategy-building sessions that are more typically associated with athletics —especially football.
In “Skull Sessions,” the art will speak for the artist with ideas shared and communicated to the viewers as if they are players on a united team.
Like an art fair format, the artworks and installations in “Skull Sessions” will be arranged within the areas of Hicks Art Center designated to the following 20 different artist-run collectives and cultural organizations in the Bucks County and Philadelphia regions:
African American Museum of Bucks County
Arts and Cultural Council of Bucks County
Past Present Projects
The Upstairs Gallery of Bucks County
The groups will be represented by artworks or displays from their board members, curators, directors, or members at large, some of whom do not often exhibit their own works collectively.
“Skull Sessions” will offer a unique opportunity for the public to see the 20 participating artist-run spaces and cultural organizations in one location together for the first time ever.
There will be an opening reception on December 6, 2023, from 4 to 7:30 PM at Hicks Art Center. All are invited and welcome to meet the artists and cultural organizations’ members. It will be free and open to the public.
Gallery hours are Monday through Friday 9 AM to 4 PM and Saturdays from 12 to 4 PM. The gallery will be closed in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday from November 22 to November 25. For winter break, the gallery will be closed from December 22, 2023, to January 2, 2024.
