The Blue Heron Gallery in Wyalusing, is organizing an exhibit of art based on our continental highway that runs through this part of Pennsylvania and on across the country from Cape Cod to California, Route 6.
The show will run from March 15 to May 1, 2009, with an opening planned for March 27.
Interested artists may submit up to five pieces that relate to Route 6 and the towns and landscapes it passes through, but keeping the highway somehow as an important aspect of the images.
The purpose of the exhibit is to highlight the beauty of the land and historical uniqueness of the villages as this highway traverses through middle America.
