Dillon Samuelson
Dillon Samuelson: Thursday, Dec. 4 I’ll be attending two art openings: First at York College of Pennsylvania, where this semester’s graduating seniors will be presenting their final bodies of work as undergraduates, a visual representation of the skills they have built over their college careers. The show takes place in Wolf Hall from 5 – 7 p.m. and features students from both the Fine Art and Graphic Design majors of York College. More information here.
After that I’ll run downtown to YorkArts to catch the opening reception of their show “100 Under 100,” which runs from 6 – 8 p.m. and will feature over one hundred small works from both professional and recreational artists. The works are all priced under $100, and the variety of mediums and styles will be fun to see.
And then Friday is First Friday in downtown York. There are too many events going on to list, but be sure to come downtown and see the city come to life.
