FINAL DAYS!
One Week Only Pop Up:
The Osryn Tales

a Fantasy Comic

by Jeff Foulsham

Last day is Saturday, February 23, 2019

Arthaus Projects, a community oriented non-profit art space located in downtown Williamsport, is excited announce the opening of a one week special pop up exhibition highlighting the concept art and launch of The Osrynn Tales, a creator owned comic series by local artist Jeff Foulsham. “The Osrynn Tales: A fantasy comic by Jeff Foulsham will be on display from February 15 - 23, 2019. 

About the Artist
Jeff Foulsham, is an Illustrator, Comic Book Artist/Writer, and Freelance Artist. Foulsham graduated from Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania in 2018 with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Illustration and 2D Art. While there he learned how to use many mediums from traditional media like oils, watercolors, and charcoal to digital programs such as Adobe Photoshop. His personal goal in art is to entertain. It is a hard life for many people and Foulsham simply seeks to provide some escapism for those who need some levity in their days.

Currently, Foulsham is working on the first story arc of his creator owned comic called The Osrynn Tales. The book is based on many of your standard fantasy tropes from sources such as Dungeons and Dragons, World of Warcraft, and Warhammer. Over the last ten years Foulsham has used the Osrynn setting as the focus of his tabletop role playing games, building world history and developing the fantasy themes into one cohesive vision. It is Foulsham’s sincere hope that over the course of this comic book the reader will have a few laughs and maybe even shed a tear for your favorite character once in a while.

COMING IN MARCH: 

Don't Feed The Artists

Arthaus Projects, a community oriented non-profit art space located in downtown Williamsport, is excited announce the opening of "Don't Feed the Artists" a new experimental exhibition exploring the art making process, live and in the flesh. The exhibition opens Friday, March 1 from 6 - 9pm, and is on display until Saturday, March 30th.

Often times we take for granted the painstaking process many artists take when they approach a blank canvas. Once the work is on display we are quick to dismiss it as good or bad art, or can be as critical as to say “My kid could do that.” What if we had an exhibit where the works on display were made right before your eyes and you could see the process and rework that happens as an artist battles the canvas? Coming to Arthaus Projects in March we will be doing just that. We are inviting a select number of artists and good friends to come to the gallery on opening night and create during the opening. The gallery will be lined with blank canvases and artists are asked to work in the designated “studio spaces” to create what inspires them that evening. Once complete, the works will be exhibited among the remaining blank canvases and artists are encouraged to come back and tackle the other canvases until the gallery display is complete.

Canvases, brushes, and acrylic paints will be provided by Arthaus Projects. All other materials, if needed, are to be provided by the artist. Works will be for sale with prices ranging as follows: 5x7 ($40), 12x12 ($75), 18x24 ($125). If you are an artist that is interested in participating, use the form at https://www.arthausprojects.com/dont-feed-the-artists/ to sign up.

CALL FOR ARTISTS: 

Submit your work to Repurposed, our fourth annual juried exhibition focused on the adaptive reuse of materials for art's sake

Don’t put that water bottle in the trash, make some art out of it! Our “throw-away” society has run rampant with our consumption of one-use disposable items. In 2015, we produced globally 381 MILLION metric tonnes of Plastic and managed to recycle only 20%! At Arthaus Projects, we think it’s time to step up and inspire people to creatively repurpose old materials!

Arthaus Projects, a community oriented non-profit art space located in downtown Williamsport, is excited announce the theme for their fourth annual juried exhibition “Repurposed.” “Repurposed” is a juried exhibition focused on the adaptive reuse of materials to create new art.

Participating artists are asked to create an original piece of artwork that utilizes some sort of found object, or unusual recycled medium as the base for the piece. Examples include (but are not limited to) books, windows, or any use of non traditional materials in the creation of a piece. The goal should be to create something beautiful out of materials that might have wound up in the landfill.

This is a juried visual art competition and exhibition that is open to two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and digital artists working in any medium except performance art. There is no age restriction (under 18 year old applicants will need a parent or guardian’s consent and signature on the back of the entry form to apply). Work may not exceed the size of 35″ wide x 82″ high unless it can be broken down and re-assembled within the gallery.

Jurors Include:

Matthew Zarzyczny, Kurt Herrmann, Paul McGinn, and Joel Ryder
