March 2nd First Friday Opening “Joyous” is a dynamic body of work from one of Pennsylvania’s most recognized artists, Alan Fetterman. The show will exhibit Fetterman’s work of paintings, sculpture, and a touch of swift poetry all with an accent on the celebration of joyful colors and brightness for the soul, and the celebration of CityFolk Gallery as it enters its 9th year located at the heart of gallery row in downtown historical Lancaster on March 1st.

With over 40 one-man shows Fetterman’s work is quickly recognized and highly collected throughout the tri-state region. He is an award-winning American artist with his own bright, dynamic and fervent style. In great part, he continues the Pennsylvania impressionist and plein air traditions, but in full contemporized fashion. As a painter, sculptor, and poet, he’s traveled extensively throughout the Americas and abroad, living and learning cultural values and old-world aesthetics. As a Kay scholar with a degree in philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania, Alan transfers knowledge into art. His work has been featured and showcased in over 150 venues and art galleries including places as diverse as Carmel, California, Curitiba, Brazil, and Vero Beach, Florida. He’s a long-standing, participant and board member of the Philadelphia Sketch Club and a past member of New York City’s Salmagundi Club. His work and life have been profiled in dozens of magazines, columns, and books, including features in “A Bucks County State of a Mind” and “The Embraceable You.” A monograph “ Illuminate “ by art Historian Cathie Viksjo can be found in bookstores and the James A. Michener Art Museum. He is a 2017 recipient of the Philadelphia Sketch Club’s Medal of Honor

With his fresh, energetic signature-style brushwork and his dynamic tones of color, Alan’s art delivers a powerful sense of both well-being and genuine goodness, seemingly unending.
