Paintings by former Four Pillars resident artists at the Mount Gretna School of Art

This exhibition presents the work of 11 exceptional, young painters (Misato Pang, Scott Seebart, Ben Frederick, Sam Kelly, Jacob Janes, Lindsay Mueller, Grace Coletta, Brittany Gilbert, Colleen Kelsey, Emily Zuch and Emily Manning-Mingle) – all of whom have participated in the Four Pillars residency program—an extension of the Mount Gretna School of Art in Mount Gretna, PA. Each summer, artists from across the United States gather for four weeks of immersive creative exploration, living and working in the serene surroundings of Mount Gretna. In collaboration with students, faculty, and staff, the Four Pillars artists engage in a dynamic, Chautauqua-style summer painting program that fosters both artistic development and a vibrant sense of community.

25% of all sales from this exhibition will benefit the Mount Gretna School of Art, which offers a six-week intensive program featuring professional art faculty from across the country, lectures and critiques from visiting artists, and art trips to New York and Philadelphia. Thanks to the generosity of its donors, the school is able to provide both full and partial scholarships to students based on financial need, ensuring access to this transformative educational experience.
