NPAA Cancels Holiday Art Show and Sale

COVID spread disrupts annual tradition

Out of an abundance of caution, the Northwestern Pennsylvania Art Association (NPAA) has opted to cancel their 2020 Holiday Art Show and Sale, which had been slated to open Friday at the 10/20 Collective (1020 Holland St.) 

The exhibit, featuring members of the NPAA, Chroma Guild, and Edinboro University MFA program, was originally scheduled to be on display from Nov. 27 through Dec. 20, promising "affordable art to warm your heart." 

We wish we could paint a prettier picture.  But even as COVID-19 continues to say bah-humbug to the holiday spirit, you can still support local artists and craftspeople from other galleries and boutiques around town or by buying from them directly.
