New Art Exhibit at Moravian is Gift to College

On Thursday, Nove. 10, Moravian's Payne Art Gallery hosted its opening reception for its new exhibition.


The exhibition is titled "Recent Acquisitions."  It features paintings and sculptures from the local area, all created between 1910-2010.  The art work on display was created by such artists as:


  • Joseph Barrett:  currently resides in Bucks County and much of his art work is centered on Bucks County
  • Walter Baum:  founder of the Baum School of Art in Allentown
  • Renzo Faggioli:  art faculty member at Moravian College
  • Roy Nuse:  impressionist artist who resides in Bucks County
  • Steve Tobin:  originally from Coopersburg, Pennsylvania


Moravian alumna Joann M. Trotsky gave the art work to the college in honor of her parents Alexander and Elizabeth Trotsky.


If you're interested in attending, here's all the info on the gallery:
  • Open Tuesday-Sunday

  1. I always love seeing the exhibits at the Payne Gallery, they're always interesting! I also find it really cool that the art work is by local artists, it makes the experience more rewarding in a way. Also many times they serve sushi, so that always nice :P

  2. I actually have a question: do one of these "Recent Acquisitions" include that strange orange statue by PPHAC?

  3. Ashley: I also like that the art work is all local. It really does make it more rewarding.

    Emily: Yes, the orange statue outside PPHAC was by Steve Tobin. Two other statues of his are on south campus too.
