Quote for today … “I was assaulted around 230-3am at the laundromat at 6th and walnut sts in Columbia. My wallet was taken but has since been found, and i was attacked by 2 males. Both came around the corner from the 500 block of walnut. The man who hit me several times was hispanic with a mustache and wearing a red v neck tshirt. Please contact columbia boro police if you have any information on this man. I believe he came off one of the porches at the top of the 500 block of walnut.” – from this facebook page

Milt Friedly, Director/Curator for the Susquehanna Center for the Creative Arts will exhibit his sculpture at Keystone Art and Culture Center, 420 Pearl Street, Lancaster, PA. September 2 -28 and to be extended thru October, 2016.

Public Receptions are scheduled for September 2 and September 22 from 5-9 p.m.

Gallery hours outside the reception dates are by appointment.

Milt’s sculptural works are crafted from traditional media, found objects and experimental media. His work investigates the dichotomy between nature and use of industrial materials and the effects consumption and time have on the human condition. Friedly makes personal and universal statements through use of common materials in uniquely crafted works of art. Some works are interactive, time based, which are completed by an audience. Some include live objects, water, sound and video.

New works include: “Ali – Move like a butterfly, Sting like a Bee”; “Corn – Chip”; “Breathe in the Conestoga”; “Displacement”; “Remove Ashes Daily” and others.

Special thanks to George Mummert, Director of Keystone for generously offering the space for this exhibition and to Martin’s Potato Chips. – SOURCE: news release
