Afternoon of Art and Music
Sunday, March 11
    The Art Alliance and the Nittany Valley Symphony once again are offering
 a joint “Afternoon of Art and Music” at Foxdale Retirement Community. The
 theme of this year's event is “Celebrate Young Artists.” The afternoon
 begins in Foxdale's auditorium with a presentation featuring young
 musicians. The audience will then move on to Foxdale's second floor gallery
 to view an exhibit of artwork created by children and teens in Art Alliance
 camps, classes and workshops. As the guests mingle and look at the artwork
 they will enjoy a wine and cheese reception.
    This “Afternoon of Art and Music” is a fundraiser for both organizations.
 Tickets are $20 and are available by contacting the Art Alliance office
 (234-2740), email info@artalliancepa.org, or Nittany Valley Symphony
 (231-8224). Do plan to attend with family and friends to celebrate
 accomplishments of young artists in our community. Be sure to mark the date
 on your calendar.

        Our Juror -- Natalie Harris
            Natalie Harris is a fifth year Ph.D. Candidate from PSU, presently
 serving as Interim Professor of Art History at Bloomsburg University, where
 she teaches courses in Northern Renaissance Art, Baroque Art and Museum
 Studies. She received her B.A. in Art History in 2003 from Rhodes College in
 Memphis, and her M.A. in Art History and Graduate Certificate in Museum
 Studies in 2006 from the University of Memphis.
    Throughout her career shehas been highly involved in non-profit work, first
 as a development officer for Rhodes College, and later in numerous museums
 and galleries. During her time in Memphis she also served as a staff writer for
 the critical local art journal, Number.
    Although she loves all things pertaining to the Italian Renaissance, she is
 particularly fond of the artists of the North, specifically those practicing in the
 Veneto region. Her dissertation, "Venice and the Vivarini," examines the
 careers and workshop of a little-known Venetian painting family contemporary
 with Jacopo Bellini, using the artistic output of the family to explore the
 intersection of art and economics.
