Bucks County Community College invites the public to “The ArtShow,” a multimedia exhibition at the Hicks Art Center featuring 37 artists based in the Philadelphia area. On view from Friday, May 16 through Saturday, July 19, the exhibition features artists who have been guests on independent curator and artist Craig Stover’s video podcast ArtShow.
Artists have high praise for the impact the show has had. “Craig Stover’s ArtShow is such a boon for the Philadelphia Arts community,” said Simone Spicer, who is among more than three dozen artists whose work is featured in the exhibition. “In our time where so many dedicated visual artists are struggling to be
noticed and appreciated, ArtShow grants us the opportunity to be showcased at large and to connect with each other.”
