The 27th History Meets the Arts (HMTA) show and sale, with 18 artists and authors in person represented by Lord Nelson's Gallery, will take place Friday, April 10 from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm and Saturday, April 11 from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm at the Gettysburg Fire Company Community Room. Nine painters specializing mostly in 18th century historical scenes and multiple artisans creating period accoutrements such as scrimshawed powder horns, hand forged knives, canvas floor cloths, wood boxes and more will be there in person with their latest works. You'll also meet two authors including NY Times best seller Jeff Shaara with his broad collection of historical novels. Admission to the show is free on both days. Working with HMTA, representatives from Pink Out, a Hanover, PA based women's cancer survivor benefit fund, will be on hand to accept voluntary donations for their organization.
Attending HMTA painters include award winning Pennsylvania artists Robert Griffing, John Buxton, Jason Tako, Bryant White and Pamela Patrick White, along with Tennessee artist David Wright. Several of their paintings are included in the permanent collections of the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis, IN and the Booth Western Art Museum in Georgia, in addition to being featured in numerous government buildings, National Park Service Visitor Centers, Colonial Williamsburg, and Mount Vernon. As for Robert Griffing who paints the Native Americans of the Great Lakes and Eastern Woodlands, his work has been included in educational packages, TV historical documentaries, the covers of dozens of books and national magazines, and Native American museums and cultural centers, including the 2007 exhibition "Emissaries of Peace", at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. Other attending painters are Kevin McDonald from New Jersey, Kyle Carroll from Missouri, and Todd Price from Ohio.
The painters will be joined by three dimensional artisans including sculptor Wayne Hyde of Bedford, PA, knife maker Steve Auvenshine (KY) whose knives have been commissioned for use by lead actors in films such as Jurassic World, Jumanji, and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, folk artists Wayne and William Fluke of Bedford, PA with hand-carved walking sticks, powder horn maker Tim Sanner from western PA, hand-painted floorcloth maker Jennifer McKay-Treichel and others.
This is your opportunity to meet with these talented artists all under one roof, every one of them pleased to share their art, knowledge, and love of early American history with you.
