$1,200 Raised for Cathedral School

The generosity of art buying community members in Harrisburg helped Gallery Blu raise $1,200 for the Consolidated Cathedral School in Harrisburg. Our sincere thanks to art teacher, Susan Bircher for helping curate a show of student art. Also I want to thank the students who worked hard creating their art in order to help their school. And of course Jay Risser and Candice Wanner and cathedral chorus students who provided the afternoon musical entertainment.

It's All About Community

In past blogs I have written about neighborhood and community and how the gallery's long term vision is one of neighborhood involvement.

Recently I was asked if the gallery would host a holiday get together for the Engleton neighborhood group. It turned out to be a wonderful evening with about 35 to 40 neighborhood residents bringing food, spirits and companionship to the gallery. We talked, ate, joked and even aired local political news in an atmosphere that sparkled with joie de vivre. This is community in action and is a perfect example of how a few people with a great idea can spread joy and happiness to many. Engleton area residents have shown that community is alive and well in Midtown Harrisburg.

Cathedral Benefit

The Cathedral School benefit held on December 13 was a huge success. Pictured here is art instructor, Susan Bircher with First Grade student, Josie Bianchi. Art from students in grades one through eight was displayed and a few pieces are still available. The remaining art will be on exhibit through Christmas. The goal of Gallery Blu is to raise $1,000.00 for the Cathedral School and we are well on our way with $700.00 raised to date.

Cathedral School Benefit Show

Gallery Blu will be hosting a student art show to benefit the Consolidated Cathedral School of Harrisburg.
The benefit is being held Sunday December 13 from 2 - 4 PM. Music will be provided by Jay Risser and Cathedral School students.
All proceeds from the sale of student art will benefit the Consolidated Cathedral School. In addition 15% of the sale of non-student art will be given to the school from sales made on that day.
Join us for fun and good cheer.
