SUMMARY:Art Exhibit | Wilson College\, Chambersburg
DESCRIPTION:Thursday September 18th\, 2025 – Friday November 7th\, 2025\nWilson College Shares Letterpress Printing in New Art Exhibit\nWilson College will present an exhibition of work by artist Amos Paul Kennedy Jr. in the Bogigian Gallery\, Lortz Hall\, from September 18th through November 7th\, 2025.\nThe College will host an opening reception starting at 4:30 PM on September 18th.\nTitled “Amos Paul Kennedy Jr.: Citizen Printer\,” the exhibition showcases Kennedy’s dynamic approach to letterpress printing\, blending traditional techniques with contemporary design sensibilities.\nKnown for his bold\, layered compositions and distinctive typographic style\, Kennedy’s work invites viewers to engage with language\, color\, and form in fresh and thought-provoking ways.\nWorking with handset wood and metal type\, Kennedy emphasizes the physical labor and tactile beauty of the traditional printing process.\nHis method of overprinting vibrant colors in dense\, rhythmic layers results in visually striking pieces that allow chance and repetition to become part of the message.\nNo two prints are ever the same as each carries its own visual weight and emotional resonance.\nThe Library of Congress\, Emory University\, and the Newberry Library\, among others\, house Kennedy’s work\, which is recognized for its combination of wit\, insight\, and craftsmanship.\nThis exhibition celebrates letterpress printing as a medium of artistic dialogue and cultural expression.\nThe title “Citizen Printer” is based on a recent book about Kennedy\, published in 2024 by Letterform Archive Books\, San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Amy Grant | Luhrs Performing Arts Center\, Shippensburg
DESCRIPTION:Thursday October 16th\, 2025 * 7:30 PM\nConventional wisdom has it that Amy Grant put Contemporary Christian Music on the map\, becoming the first CCM artist to have a platinum record\, the first to hit No. 1 on the Pop charts\, and the first to perform at the GRAMMY Awards.\nSince then\, Grant has been strumming her way through a thirty-plus year adventure as a singer-songwriter\, author\, television host\, and speaker.\nEarly on\, Grant’s iconic voice became instantly recognizable in both the Christian and pop worlds.\nOver the years\, she has sold more than 30 million albums world-wide\, including three multi-platinum\, six platinum\, and four gold.\nHer chart performance has also been consistent throughout her career\, boasting six No. 1 hits\, 10 “Top 40” Pop singles\, 17 “Top 40” Adult Contemporary tracks and multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers.\nIn recognition of such success\, Grant has received 6 GRAMMY Awards and 26 Dove Awards\, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame\, and a star on the Music City Walk of Fame.\nAdditionally\, she was most recently inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.\nStepping out from behind her guitar\, Grant found herself hosting the NBC prime time series “Three Wishes” in 2005\, bringing her into millions of living rooms across America every Friday night.\nThe people she met and stories she collected proved to be great inspiration for creating new music and even writing a book.\nTwo years later\, Grant’s first book\, Mosaic: Pieces of My Life So Far\, was published.\nShe continues to share her stories with audiences all over the country as a keynote and inspirational speaker.\nPurchase Tickets
