Bucks County Community College has announced its second art show in the brand-new Fickes Art Gallery in the North Building of the Upper Bucks Campus (1 Hillendale Road, Perkasie, Pa.). The gallery’s spring exhibition, “Art in Bloom,” is open to all community members and promises to captivate visitors with an array of diverse and inspiring works of art from talented local artists.

The College invites artists to showcase their creativity, incorporating the broad theme of spring being a time of new beginnings, rebirth, and revitalization, by submitting their work for consideration by Wednesday, February 7. For a nominal $10.00 fee, each artist can enter up to two pieces of art. Artists of all levels are encouraged to participate and contribute to the rich tapestry of artistic expression.

The exhibition is scheduled to run from February 12 until March 21. The gallery will be open to the public, offering a space for visitors to engage with local art and explore the diverse perspectives presented by the contributing artists. With affordable art in mind for this show, all pieces will be priced at $200 (plus tax).

An Opening Reception will be held on Friday, February 16, from 6 PM to 8 PM. Attendees will enjoy light fare, beverages, and entertainment, not to mention the perfect atmosphere for art appreciation and community networking.

As a testament to its commitment to education and community engagement, the Upper Bucks Campus will designate 25% of the proceeds from the sale of artwork to the Bucks County Community College Foundation to support student scholarships.

“We were so impressed by the amazing pieces submitted for our gallery opening and initial exhibition and are incredibly excited to see what this tremendous community of artists has in store for this show” said Kevin Murray, Upper Bucks Campus Director.

The Upper Bucks Campus’ Fickes Art Gallery promises to be a dynamic cultural space that will foster artistic growth, community connections, and inspiration for years to come.
